Some of the people were almost happy, not necessarily about their current situation, but they were looking at everything from a half glass full aspect.]]> 2018-01-25 17:06:10 UTC https://padlet.com/llepore/4dfs3mvas383/wish/224756445 https://padlet.com/llepore/4dfs3mvas383/wish/224756504 2) I was surprised by how upbeat the people of the Great Depression were. They were somewhat depressed and stressed out by their new responsibilities, however they did not give up hope that things will get better in time.]]> 2018-01-25 17:06:17 UTC https://padlet.com/llepore/4dfs3mvas383/wish/224756504 https://padlet.com/llepore/4dfs3mvas383/wish/224756514 I was most surprised by how positive the children were despite the situations they were in. The girl I read about had to decide whether or not to continue school. She did not have enough money for books or nice clothes and yet she kept a positive outlook.]]> 2018-01-25 17:06:18 UTC https://padlet.com/llepore/4dfs3mvas383/wish/224756514 https://padlet.com/llepore/4dfs3mvas383/wish/224756520 Something interesting from the research done thus far is probably that some of the struggles people gone through during the depression can still be seen in society today. The person i read about was also able to take away a positive from what is normally seen as a negative situation. ]]> 2018-01-25 17:06:19 UTC https://padlet.com/llepore/4dfs3mvas383/wish/224756520 https://padlet.com/llepore/4dfs3mvas383/wish/224756526 Based on my research, the thing that I found most interesting would be that some of those who are living in difficult and poor situations, also live with people who aren't struggling as much as them. From the one oral history that I read, I found it shocking how the young girl's teacher sort of judged how she wasn't able to pay for school supplies.]]> 2018-01-25 17:06:19 UTC https://padlet.com/llepore/4dfs3mvas383/wish/224756526 https://padlet.com/llepore/4dfs3mvas383/wish/224756548 I've found it surprising how people got through their hard times in The Depression. Many of the people were still very optimistic, even though they live in terrible conditions.

I am surprised by some people massive willpower to continue forward and how everything bad, even natural, happened at once.

1. I have found the way of life most interesting.]]> 2018-01-25 17:06:43 UTC https://padlet.com/llepore/4dfs3mvas383/wish/224756710 https://padlet.com/llepore/4dfs3mvas383/wish/224756723 The thing that has surprised me the most so far was how many people were forced to live out of their cars.

These dust bowl were dreadful and caused pain to many at the time.]]> 2018-01-25 17:06:46 UTC https://padlet.com/llepore/4dfs3mvas383/wish/224756736 https://padlet.com/llepore/4dfs3mvas383/wish/224756759 1.

I was surprised by the fact that people were still trying to make the best out of their situation, even if they didn't have the material things we have today.
