My Depression

By: Joey B
Pennsylvania, Grade: 4

I live in Hooverville. I had to work for money. My parents past away in the middle of the Great Depression. I work picking lettuce. I get paid $0.25 an hour. I am very hot because of this drought. I was able to afford a box of rice. I loathe this drought, but I am doing alright. I am glad I'm still ok.
