The Great Depression

By: Katie Z
Alabama, Grade: 6

My dad lost his job today. I don't know if I will get to it every day now that the stock market has crashed. Dad says that my uncle lost his job too except he is richer than us. Dad thinks he will help us out, but if he don't then for sure I will not eat every night. When mom heard the news she started crying. I asked if we would eat every day she said yes , but I know she was lying. My brother, who is 17, said he will try to find a job just in case dad does not get one. Maybe everything will get better.
