Read this key essay by Martha Rosler as this would provide you with a critical perspective on documentary photography. She talks about Migrant Mother too.
In addition to this read Susan Sontag Ch 1 and use Contemporary Debates in Photography: Critical Introduction as reference. That should be sufficient to provide a critical perspective. Identity a 2-3 quotes from each source and incorporate into your own writing and make sure you comment on them either for or against to make a critical argument
