Hey, I recently read your book How the Other Half Lives

Me:
Oh really! What'd you think?

Theodore Rooosevelt:
It was really eye opening... I'd like to help.

Jacob Riis would probably have a conversation with Theodore Roosevelt because when Jacob Riis published his book Roosevelt had reached out to him about helping the New York Slums. In today's time this communication could be through text messages. Now I understand that it is unlikely the President would text you but this is a good example of a conversation that could have happened between these two historical figure.]]> 2017-11-07 18:24:01 UTC https://padlet.com/erin_jonas/nw0vmtlqrxqa/wish/204511429 Playlist erin_jonas https://padlet.com/erin_jonas/nw0vmtlqrxqa/wish/204511716 1. My Camera Never Lies by Buzz Fizz
    "My camera never lies
So I'll put you in the picture and cut it down to size
My camera never lies anymore
'Cause there's nothing worth lying for"
This song was chosen because it is a song that Riis could really relate to.  His photography showed the truth of the corrupted country.  His camera never lied just as the lyrics state.

2. Picture this by Blondie
   "Picture this, a day in December
Picuture this freezing cold weather, you got clouds on your lids and you'd be on the skids"
 This song was chosen because it explains how the slums could have lived.  They had no shelter and if they did it was not very good.  In New York it does it cold so when it says a day in December and freezing cold weather it is how the Slums lived. It gave his a way to connect to the people who's story he was telling and understand their pain.

3. People Take Pictures of Each Other by The Kinks
   "People take pictures of each other, Just to prove that they really existed"
This song was also chosen because it is explaining this time in history. He could want to listen to it because it shared his same thoughts. He took pictures to show what really happened. "prove that they really existed" He would agree with the song and enjoy listening to it.]]> 2017-11-07 18:24:29 UTC https://padlet.com/erin_jonas/nw0vmtlqrxqa/wish/204511716 Wall paper erin_jonas https://padlet.com/erin_jonas/nw0vmtlqrxqa/wish/204511999 This would be Jacob Riis wallpaper because a social reformer. It was his book that lead to social reform in the United States during the Industrial Era. So he would probably find this picture humorous because it mocks himself]]> 2017-11-07 18:24:56 UTC https://padlet.com/erin_jonas/nw0vmtlqrxqa/wish/204511999 Picture #1 erin_jonas https://padlet.com/erin_jonas/nw0vmtlqrxqa/wish/204512190 All of the pictures on his phone are going to be from his photography.  Since Jacob was a photographer he had hundreds and hundreds of pictures, and he would keep them all on his phone.]]> 2017-11-07 18:25:14 UTC https://padlet.com/erin_jonas/nw0vmtlqrxqa/wish/204512190 Apps erin_jonas https://padlet.com/erin_jonas/nw0vmtlqrxqa/wish/204512223 Instagram:
Jacob Riis was a photographer. His photographs were some of the first examples of the flashbulb. He would have used Instagram to post his photographs for the world to see and show off this new invention.

Photo Editor:
In his lectures and books he added in photography to dramatize his dark topics. His books would send a chill to any heart, and his photography helped him do so. With Photo Editor he would be able to make his photography even better and have a bigger impact on the viewers.

Word Press
Riis was also a journalist. Especially known for his muckraking journalism which is detailed and accurate accounts of political and economical corruption and social hard ships caused by big business in rapidly industrializing US. His topic he wrote mostly about were the Slums of New York. He would also use Word Press to post his journalism for everyone to see.  He would use this app to really open the eyes to as many people as possible to these issues.
