" the government has closed the teachers college and who knows when it would be open"- this tells us that children could not get the good education they need. This story also says "i want to be a teacher..........mum's says I should be grateful we've got food on the table and not to fill my head with pipe dreams"- this tells us that her mum doesn't want her to have hopes and dreams because they will probably not come true and she doesn't want to see her daughter 's disappointment.  ]]> 2018-08-27 02:58:04 UTC https://padlet.com/181255/er4r1mt0sa9k/wish/275429741 181255 https://padlet.com/181255/er4r1mt0sa9k/wish/275429777 children worked hard in the time of the depression because it stats"we had to get up early to milk"- so they had to work hard and wake up early. Children in this story were smart as well as hard working because kids found out how to keep their feet warm, they kept their feet warm by putting them in cow pats. 'a good way of warming his feet up.....he stuck them in a cow-pat that had just been dropped, and he said it made his feet feel bosker and warm". ]]> 2018-08-27 02:58:18 UTC https://padlet.com/181255/er4r1mt0sa9k/wish/275429777 181255 https://padlet.com/181255/er4r1mt0sa9k/wish/275430078 In this story there weren't as many children shown although there were a few  and most of them were poor. O brother where art thou was a film and in this film it showed me that children were really independent. In this film there was a young boy no younger than 10 years old and he was holding a gun at 3 men standing 4 meters away from the front door, the young boy said ”daddy told me to shoot anyone who's from the bank”- the boy is told this because normally back in that time the bank would come if they cant pay off the money owed. This same boy lived in a rusty shack with his dad (there was no mention of a mother) in the desert. The little boy Isn't feed right because the father gave the child and the other 3 men rotten horse meat. According to this film many children died from illnesses such as mumps because it stats"I lost a child to mumps, but its a common thing". ]]> 2018-08-27 03:01:19 UTC https://padlet.com/181255/er4r1mt0sa9k/wish/275430078 181255 https://padlet.com/181255/er4r1mt0sa9k/wish/276122758 back in the time of the great depression it was really sexist as in the girls were girly girls had to stay clean did the house work and dressed nicely, and the boys did all the work outside and went to work. But when the time came where girls could wear shorts they were over-thrilled, it states "i was overjoyed when girls started to wear shorts". Although things weren't as fair because some kids weren't as fortunate since it says in the story "children at school who had ragged clothes, no shoes, and often no packed lunches". Also in this story the dads drinking affected the children because the father would apologise to the children about his temper problems because it stats "he was quickly over his tempers- which I think had a cathartic effect and would to apologise to us, even as children". ]]> 2018-08-29 05:20:43 UTC https://padlet.com/181255/er4r1mt0sa9k/wish/276122758 181255 https://padlet.com/181255/er4r1mt0sa9k/wish/276130462 2018-08-29 06:23:55 UTC https://padlet.com/181255/er4r1mt0sa9k/wish/276130462 181255 https://padlet.com/181255/er4r1mt0sa9k/wish/276130469 2018-08-29 06:23:58 UTC https://padlet.com/181255/er4r1mt0sa9k/wish/276130469 181255 https://padlet.com/181255/er4r1mt0sa9k/wish/277066800 In time of the depression some children couldn't go to school since many rural area's lacked schools. "Or if you lived far back in the mountains, you wouldn't be able to go to high school". In this article it doesn't stat why 'the people in far back of the mountains couldn't go to high school'. Most children didn't bring lunch to school as there was nothing at there home to bring, "many poor students went to school hungry, because at home their parents didn't have anything to feed them". Schools across America closed down because of lack of money. "Children were sent to live with others so there parents can get back on their feet". ]]> 2018-09-01 09:36:24 UTC https://padlet.com/181255/er4r1mt0sa9k/wish/277066800
