The Great Depression

By: Cari K
Louisiana, Grade: 6

I hate the Depression. There isn't any money, food is pretty much gone and the little that we have cost more than any of us can afford. How can people live in this time? It's crazy, I tell ya. Many things that cost nothing but a cent cost more than a dollar now. I absolutely cannot wait for the new election. So many things have gone wrong. What have we done to deserve this? This is absolutely horrible and I feel so bad because I cannot feed my family and I love them more than anything. What is there to do?
