  16. The man in the photo looks as if he has a phiscal or a mental disorder life mute,deaf or the man has a disease like T.B. Sometimes a picture of a person can be related by a story or poem. Mabe the mans name is William E Henley since his picture is near the poem.

  40. i'm not really sure who this man is or what the struggles he had so i'm going to take a guess. I would like to say this man is a very expensive and wealthy man possible a law man or an inventor. The challenge he had might have been he was married and his wife didn't love his fabulous beard as much as he did, so she might have tried to shave it or cut it off, so therefore he had to get a divorce to save his great man beard.

  41. I think he is a doctor and I think the hardship is that someone close to him died and left him a lot of money to go to school.

  42. I think the mans heart ship was that he was not very successful and that he had a hard time growing and that he had to grow up with no parents.
