What did transportation look like during that time period? andves2024 https://padlet.com/andves2024/h7ruepi4mptx/wish/247039740 I would have to travel by either train, a low grade car (which is fairly expensive, or by foot if I was in the streets. Popular cars were ford model T’s and other cheap models. They sold for about 575 dollars.]]> 2018-03-28 18:40:41 UTC https://padlet.com/andves2024/h7ruepi4mptx/wish/247039740 What style or types of clothing will you pack for your journey? andves2024 https://padlet.com/andves2024/h7ruepi4mptx/wish/247040263 Fashion in the 1930s consisted of  blouses for ladies along with silk dresses and satins for the girls. For the men and boys they wore top hats and other variations of them suits of cheaper cloth. (price declined because of depression) they also had to have plenty of jewelry for the girls to wear, because the icons wore a lot of bling and it started to be more in for the ladies.]]> 2018-03-28 18:42:06 UTC https://padlet.com/andves2024/h7ruepi4mptx/wish/247040263 What will you take with you for entertainment and communication? andves2024 https://padlet.com/andves2024/h7ruepi4mptx/wish/247718203 Radios, Messaging by letters, and telegraph were the best forms of  communication to people in the 1930s.

Or cause harm to people. Most people worked long hours with low pay on machines. Food diseases also occured, because of poor keeping. Dust Pneumonia also was a big disease in the U.S. where people would have this disease sneak into your lungs causing a bad illness.

What were people reading? andves2024 https://padlet.com/andves2024/h7ruepi4mptx/wish/247719573 During hard times with little money people still needed to be entertained they prefer to not spend much money due to their income not being very high.. They started adding sound to movies so they became a lot more people watching movies. Also people started listening to swing music and popular bands had gained even more fame. People read loads of Novels for books.

They would have to set up these food lines, because people were so starving and hungry that there was nothing to eat.. Most people would eat anything they could find and wouldn’t have organized meals. Beggars were very common. They were people who tried to convince people to give them their food so they could eat and wouldn’t starve. 

]]> 2018-04-02 01:56:12 UTC https://padlet.com/andves2024/h7ruepi4mptx/wish/247719731 How much did things cost? andves2024 https://padlet.com/andves2024/h7ruepi4mptx/wish/247719851 If you had about 2 to 3 dollars you could still consume enough to eat without being hungry. Food was scarce so people would beg. Common foods people would eat were cheap such as foods that were easy to consume and were light and easy to digest. Here some groceries prices in the 1930s 12 eggs would cost 18 cents. Soup would cost about 22 cents depending on where you live prices may vary.. Ketchup would only cost 9 cents a can. Things to buy in the 1930s were strikingly cheap to buy since the stock crash goods were very cheap.

How do people here view their world and what is happening in the world? andves2024 https://padlet.com/andves2024/h7ruepi4mptx/wish/247720066 One major problem is that the great depressions started on October 29th 1929 after a stock market crash that led to about ¼ of all people living in the U.S. had no jobs. That really affected the economy so most things slowed down. Another problem was that ww2 had just broken out at the end of the my era. Meaning that as we had just gotten done with the depression we had more problems to deal with. Adolf Hitler invading Poland on September 1939. People started to be in the draft to get ready for war a couple years later so peoples spirits weren’t up, because of many hard problems.

It wasn’t until the 60s that black people would have rights and be treated fairly. It was also proven that blacks wages were 30% lower. That justs proves that they were discriminated throughout that time period.
