Read the quotation by Dorothea Lange about the
photo "Migrant Mother" from Years of Dust.
I saw and approached the hungry and desperate
mother, as if drawn by a magnet. I do not remember
how I explained my presence or my camera to her,
but I do remember she asked me no questions. ... !
did not ask her name or history. She told me her age,
that she was thirty-two. She said that they had been
living on frozen vegetables from the surrounding
fields, and birds that the children had killed. She had
just sold the tires from her car to buy food. There she
sat in that lean-to tent with her children huddled
around her, and seemed to know that my pictures
might help her, and so she helped me. There was a
sort of equality about it.
Now, read an excerpt about the photo from Years of
Dust.

It is long since I wrote to you, because I know you must be where you could not receive my letters: and perhaps it may be some time before I write to you again, on account of a contagious and mortal fever which has arisen here, and is driving us all away. It is called a yellow fever, but is like nothing known or read of by the physicians. . . . All persons who can find asylum elsewhere, are flying from the city: this will doubtless extend it to other towns, and spread it through the country, unless an early winter should stop it.

Read the following excerpt from "Why I Wrote 'The Passage'" and answer the question that follows.

Three decades later I was asked to write a creative piece about Automatic for the People, one of my favorite albums, by R.E.M., my favorite band. It was exciting. This particular project--one that commissioned a piece of creative writing for each of Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time--had almost no constraints other than a word limit, so I decided to write a story. Then I listened to the album a lot. Several times a day, at home, in the car, wherever I was, I was listening, trying to figure out how to make a story out of the lines in the twelve songs. Because that's what I wanted to do--write a story that combined all the words in the lyrics in an entirely new way. This is what we call being overly ambitious.

Why did Martin write "The Passage?"

He was asked to write a creative piece in response to the album Automatic for the People.
He wanted to use the lyrics of the songs to tell a story.
He was asked to write a story about an important memory in his life.
He listened to REM's album so much that he had to write a story about it.
