Comprehension Aid: "In His Mind's Eye"

Getting the Meaning:

  • Who is the man standing in the foreground? How do you know?
  • What group of people is represented by the man on the right side?
  • What is the structure that is labeled "TVA"?

Making Inferences:

  • Roosevelt is pointing beyond the TVA to faraway mountains labeled "Country-wide Community Power Projects." What does the artist mean to show?
  • The man labeled "Private Utilities" is scratching his chin. What emotion is the artist telling us the man is feeling about Roosevelt's plans?
