Assignment 4

The 1930's were a rough decade, as the Great Depression took its toll on our nation and eventually the world. Unemployment reached an all time low, profits and prices dropped, and international trade plunged. The photograph portrays a mother with her children during the Great Depression. The pain in her eyes depict the struggles she was facing to feed and take care of her children. We have seen this picture in a textbook before and remember feeling sorry and sympathetic to her. At that time, the Great Depression was affecting everyone and the whole nation felt the burden of an economic depression.
