"The money's better at night, but staff is rougher, customers drunker, and you're required to lay out a considerable amount of money for costumes."

In a place like the United States and third world countries, people are over worked and underpaid. Living in a capitalist world, people who are not in power are exploited and unappreciated. The subject, Peggy Morgan, is a victim of capitalism because she works to make ends meet yet faces many struggles because of her low social status. I associate the photograph with this quotation because when I imagine the wire fence I think of the harm it can do. Fences are made to block intruders from a place. The fence is metaphorically the bureaucracy and the intruder is the citizen. This fence can choke and electrocute the people to restrict them of their full potential and comfort in their country.
