1) What have you found most interesting?
                       or
2) What are you surprised by?]]> 2018-01-24 12:33:15 UTC https://padlet.com/llepore/rvhishtwy2sx/wish/224178079 https://padlet.com/llepore/rvhishtwy2sx/wish/224356906 I found it surprising that the larger sized families managed to live in their small cars. ]]> 2018-01-24 18:04:11 UTC https://padlet.com/llepore/rvhishtwy2sx/wish/224356906 https://padlet.com/llepore/rvhishtwy2sx/wish/224356928 What I found interesting was that families didn't just have medical bills just from getting sick, but also from unavoidable sicknesses such as appendicitis or tonsillitis. Families couldn't do anything to avoid that, but had to pay for it anyway.]]> 2018-01-24 18:04:13 UTC https://padlet.com/llepore/rvhishtwy2sx/wish/224356928 https://padlet.com/llepore/rvhishtwy2sx/wish/224356944 I found people did not lose their hope no matter what's happen.]]> 2018-01-24 18:04:15 UTC https://padlet.com/llepore/rvhishtwy2sx/wish/224356944 https://padlet.com/llepore/rvhishtwy2sx/wish/224356945 What i found interesting was  how such large families managed to live in their cars for extended periods of time. Families of 9+ managed to live all together.]]> 2018-01-24 18:04:15 UTC https://padlet.com/llepore/rvhishtwy2sx/wish/224356945 https://padlet.com/llepore/rvhishtwy2sx/wish/224357042 2018-01-24 18:04:25 UTC https://padlet.com/llepore/rvhishtwy2sx/wish/224357042 https://padlet.com/llepore/rvhishtwy2sx/wish/224357046 It surprising that some people actually allowed cameramen to take pictures of them while they are suffering.]]> 2018-01-24 18:04:25 UTC https://padlet.com/llepore/rvhishtwy2sx/wish/224357046 https://padlet.com/llepore/rvhishtwy2sx/wish/224357067 What I found most interesting was the way the people being impacted lived in the Hoovervilles.]]> 2018-01-24 18:04:28 UTC https://padlet.com/llepore/rvhishtwy2sx/wish/224357067 https://padlet.com/llepore/rvhishtwy2sx/wish/224357086 I was very surprised that people were forced to live in these horrible conditions and they didn't really get any help from the government due to the fact that Hoover didn't believe in helping the public. ]]> 2018-01-24 18:04:29 UTC https://padlet.com/llepore/rvhishtwy2sx/wish/224357086 https://padlet.com/llepore/rvhishtwy2sx/wish/224357099 I find the fact that so many people were effected by the Great Depression the most interesting so far, because I never realized how many different people were effected. 

I am surprised by how even though people were so poor and jobless, they still tried to make the best of their lives. ]]> 2018-01-24 18:04:31 UTC https://padlet.com/llepore/rvhishtwy2sx/wish/224357099 https://padlet.com/llepore/rvhishtwy2sx/wish/224357157 I found it interesting that families were forced to live in their cars and shacks due to the government not helping them ]]> 2018-01-24 18:04:36 UTC https://padlet.com/llepore/rvhishtwy2sx/wish/224357157 https://padlet.com/llepore/rvhishtwy2sx/wish/224357187 I found that many people at the time did try to keep their homes neat. Many of them at least attempted to tidy up their house with well kept furniture despite not having a lot of money.]]> 2018-01-24 18:04:39 UTC https://padlet.com/llepore/rvhishtwy2sx/wish/224357187 https://padlet.com/llepore/rvhishtwy2sx/wish/224357189 I found it most interesting that Christmas trees were only fifty cents.
I thought it was surprising that the lady in the story I read made 200 gallons of syrup in 1 year to make a profit. ]]> 2018-01-24 18:04:40 UTC https://padlet.com/llepore/rvhishtwy2sx/wish/224357189 https://padlet.com/llepore/rvhishtwy2sx/wish/224357193 I was surprised that nearly all of the people were without shoes.]]> 2018-01-24 18:04:40 UTC https://padlet.com/llepore/rvhishtwy2sx/wish/224357193 https://padlet.com/llepore/rvhishtwy2sx/wish/224357258 i was surprised that how bad the conditions actually wore and how much people depended on each other ]]> 2018-01-24 18:04:47 UTC https://padlet.com/llepore/rvhishtwy2sx/wish/224357258 https://padlet.com/llepore/rvhishtwy2sx/wish/224357303 I find it interesting that even young kids suffered during this time]]> 2018-01-24 18:04:53 UTC https://padlet.com/llepore/rvhishtwy2sx/wish/224357303 https://padlet.com/llepore/rvhishtwy2sx/wish/224357312 What I found most interesting was that the pension was not at high as previous years. People at the moment were just looking for a job that can give a solid income and provide food for them. ]]> 2018-01-24 18:04:55 UTC https://padlet.com/llepore/rvhishtwy2sx/wish/224357312 https://padlet.com/llepore/rvhishtwy2sx/wish/224357318 What im surprised by is the story that i read the children were laughing and having fun even throughout all of their struggles ]]> 2018-01-24 18:04:55 UTC https://padlet.com/llepore/rvhishtwy2sx/wish/224357318 https://padlet.com/llepore/rvhishtwy2sx/wish/224357360 What i found interesting was the fact that most people couldn't afford to buy basic necessities]]> 2018-01-24 18:04:58 UTC https://padlet.com/llepore/rvhishtwy2sx/wish/224357360 https://padlet.com/llepore/rvhishtwy2sx/wish/224357447 I am pleasantly surprised that the Great Depression was not all a nightmare. I'm glad to hear that there were some positive moments and happy times that people told of the Depression]]> 2018-01-24 18:05:08 UTC https://padlet.com/llepore/rvhishtwy2sx/wish/224357447 https://padlet.com/llepore/rvhishtwy2sx/wish/224357551 I found it surprising that some people were still believing that everything will get better soon. ]]> 2018-01-24 18:05:21 UTC https://padlet.com/llepore/rvhishtwy2sx/wish/224357551 https://padlet.com/llepore/rvhishtwy2sx/wish/224357782 What I found most interesting today was just how cheap things were back then. $1.75 for a gallon of maple syrup. I also found it shocking how many little jobs and selling whatever in order to make a living. And some people were not willing to sell things at a lower cost and ended up suffering.]]> 2018-01-24 18:05:46 UTC https://padlet.com/llepore/rvhishtwy2sx/wish/224357782 https://padlet.com/llepore/rvhishtwy2sx/wish/224357913 I fou nd int ere stin g that most peo ple w ho we re affe cted by the de pres sion we re e veryday A mer i cans. ]]> 2018-01-24 18:05:58 UTC https://padlet.com/llepore/rvhishtwy2sx/wish/224357913 https://padlet.com/llepore/rvhishtwy2sx/wish/224358047 i was surprised by the amount of detail in the photos and i found the living conditions and the situations interesting ]]> 2018-01-24 18:06:09 UTC https://padlet.com/llepore/rvhishtwy2sx/wish/224358047 https://padlet.com/llepore/rvhishtwy2sx/wish/224358251 What I found interesting is that families during The Great Depression that were traveling on the road in cars pulled over to have time to bond and have a formal dinner. In addition, I was surprised that large families of 7 or 8 lived out of a very small car, and lived a normal life. ]]> 2018-01-24 18:06:29 UTC https://padlet.com/llepore/rvhishtwy2sx/wish/224358251 https://padlet.com/llepore/rvhishtwy2sx/wish/224358373 I learned that there were not many people who were able to afford some of life's necessary items.]]> 2018-01-24 18:06:39 UTC https://padlet.com/llepore/rvhishtwy2sx/wish/224358373 https://padlet.com/llepore/rvhishtwy2sx/wish/224360106 I smell like onions]]> 2018-01-24 18:09:25 UTC https://padlet.com/llepore/rvhishtwy2sx/wish/224360106
