The Great Depression site.

I was interested in the area where people expressed their life and time during the depression through poems, stories, and articles. Many themes conveyed their idea as how they survived and passed the harsh times when many families looked for food, shelter, and jobs.The African American theme told us how rich people enjoyed the music and made the crowds dance and perform every conceivable dance move. American scenery was described through pictures and poems with beautiful naturalist’s scenes of rivers, flowers, grass, sky, and colors. Cultural Criticism revealed an idea of dunking which was a method used in “Joe’s Eats” which apparently lost your appetite and also described the service available by managers and workers at restaurants. Fiction stories were published as to different aspects of life. Music and dancing expressed in pictures and poetry showed how men swept women of off their feet and enjoyed the evening. The New York City scenes gave an idea of the busy subway’s, avenues, Harlem River, parts of construction taking place, and a man working as shoe shine man.Pictures conveyed the themes of jobs as station master, collector’s, ditch diggers, butcher and many more. Poetry expressed the feelings of people trying to survive during the great depression with no food, no place to stay, no job and finally no peace or happiness. Overall, the site was an interesting aspect that aided my knowledge of conditions during the Great Depression.
