You know how we now days take stuff for granted. Well back then during the great depression, people didn't have stuff. They have what they could get their hands on and still they did without. I feel as if we were the ones living in the geat depression we would not last a second. My grandmother was born during the great depression and I know it was difficult for her mother to feed her but they got by and made it alright. You can't really understand how someone feels about something unless you've experienced it for yourslf. It was probably really tough. All of those terrible things happening to people. There were a lot of people that died during the Great Depression. Sometimes I wish that I lived during the great depression because people in that time appreiciated more than we do today and I it's sad that that's true. I actually don't pity those folk in the Great Depression. I applaud them for being so real and thankful and many other great things than now days. We need to learn.
