Fear in 1929

By: Searra L
Alabama, Grade: 6

Hi, I'm Searra I'm 6 years old and I'm living in the Great Depression. Times have been bad lately my dad came in from work yesterday , and he seemed a little different than usual me and my little sister were in my room playing and he came in and told my sister he needed to talk to me for a minute. Well my dad told me he has lost his job. That is the first time I've ever seen him cry. He told me that we have lost all our money.
