I predict the book will be about a family living through the struggles of a Great Depression and how they find work even though there aren't many jobs available. ]]> 2020-10-06 15:18:42 UTC https://padlet.com/christinahickerson/rw01mb48plw4l2ay/wish/807097705 https://padlet.com/christinahickerson/rw01mb48plw4l2ay/wish/807099053 One thing that stood out to me on the "OMM" was that He was writing about migrant workers and The Great Depression and what He went through and what others went through at that time. I predict that this is going to help others understand and learn from what happened.]]> 2020-10-06 15:19:01 UTC https://padlet.com/christinahickerson/rw01mb48plw4l2ay/wish/807099053 https://padlet.com/christinahickerson/rw01mb48plw4l2ay/wish/807107748 One thing that really stood out to me is that the Great Depression and migrant workers the topic of his book. It was a very controversial subject at the time. I predict that Of Mice and Men will be about some people and how their life was during the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl.]]> 2020-10-06 15:20:45 UTC https://padlet.com/christinahickerson/rw01mb48plw4l2ay/wish/807107748 https://padlet.com/christinahickerson/rw01mb48plw4l2ay/wish/807108351 One thing that stood out to me was the conditions in which the migrant workers had to travel in and what it was like when they finally got to their destination.  I predict that this book will be about how hard it was to provide for yourself during The Great Depression.  ]]> 2020-10-06 15:20:51 UTC https://padlet.com/christinahickerson/rw01mb48plw4l2ay/wish/807108351 https://padlet.com/christinahickerson/rw01mb48plw4l2ay/wish/807111059 I think that OMM will probably be about The Great Depression and migrant workers since that's what we learned about from the videos and because the author lived through it and experienced what it was like first hand.]]> 2020-10-06 15:21:23 UTC https://padlet.com/christinahickerson/rw01mb48plw4l2ay/wish/807111059 https://padlet.com/christinahickerson/rw01mb48plw4l2ay/wish/807117618 What stood out to me from yesterday's assignment was that at the height of the Great Depression, about 13 million Americans were out of work. At the time, that was 1/4 people. I could not imagine that happening today. I feel like the book will be about Migrant workers and the depressing time. ]]> 2020-10-06 15:22:50 UTC https://padlet.com/christinahickerson/rw01mb48plw4l2ay/wish/807117618 https://padlet.com/christinahickerson/rw01mb48plw4l2ay/wish/807125401 One thing that caught my attention was how miserable life became after the stock market crashed. I did not expect that people had to move across the country just to find a job. I predict that the book will show the life of migrant workers and the struggles they had to face.]]> 2020-10-06 15:24:32 UTC https://padlet.com/christinahickerson/rw01mb48plw4l2ay/wish/807125401 https://padlet.com/christinahickerson/rw01mb48plw4l2ay/wish/807128734 One thing that really caught my attention was how the Dust Bull affected the lives of so many people by the huge drought and dust storms. I also liked the migrant workers and was very intrigued by the way hey lived and traveled. ]]> 2020-10-06 15:25:12 UTC https://padlet.com/christinahickerson/rw01mb48plw4l2ay/wish/807128734 https://padlet.com/christinahickerson/rw01mb48plw4l2ay/wish/807139404 One thing that really caught my attention was how after one day life got so terrible for so many people. first the stock market crashed then thousands were put out of work, and then the Dust Bull in the great planes made hundreds move west and start new lives. If I had to guess what the book "Of Mice and Men" is about, I would guess its about a family who lives in the great plains and has to move to California to find work.]]> 2020-10-06 15:27:35 UTC https://padlet.com/christinahickerson/rw01mb48plw4l2ay/wish/807139404 https://padlet.com/christinahickerson/rw01mb48plw4l2ay/wish/807148809 I think Of Mice and Men will be about how the Dust Bull affected the lives of people, especially migrant workers. ]]> 2020-10-06 15:29:46 UTC https://padlet.com/christinahickerson/rw01mb48plw4l2ay/wish/807148809 https://padlet.com/christinahickerson/rw01mb48plw4l2ay/wish/807985183 One thing that stood out to me was how many people were affected by The Great Depression. 1 out of 4 Americans were unemployed and had to depend on soup kitchens to get through life. I think that the book will be about a family during the Great Depression. I think that they will be migrant workers who travel for work.]]> 2020-10-06 18:35:15 UTC https://padlet.com/christinahickerson/rw01mb48plw4l2ay/wish/807985183 https://padlet.com/christinahickerson/rw01mb48plw4l2ay/wish/808012135 From my OMM context building, one thing that stood out to me was that Of Mice and Men wasn't immediately well received. People thought it was fake, or exaggerating the conditions faced by migrant workers in California. However, that tune changed when the First Lady mentioned it. This sticks out because the conditions described were likely extremely harsh to warrant such criticism. Because of this, I believe that Of Mice and Men will focus on migrant workers during the Great Depression, and showcase a low standard of living.]]> 2020-10-06 18:41:29 UTC https://padlet.com/christinahickerson/rw01mb48plw4l2ay/wish/808012135 https://padlet.com/christinahickerson/rw01mb48plw4l2ay/wish/808017311 From the OMM context building one thing that stood out to me was that Steinbeck was accused of being communist because of his writing. I predict that in the book the characters will be forced to become migrant workers due to The Great Depression, because it was emphasized a lot in our learning.]]> 2020-10-06 18:42:49 UTC https://padlet.com/christinahickerson/rw01mb48plw4l2ay/wish/808017311 https://padlet.com/christinahickerson/rw01mb48plw4l2ay/wish/808065792 One think that stoof out to me was how the Great Depression and Dust Bowl affected so many people. My prediction for the book is that it will talk about migrants workers and how they struggled to work because of the Dust Bowl, especially farmers and there hardships.]]> 2020-10-06 18:55:50 UTC https://padlet.com/christinahickerson/rw01mb48plw4l2ay/wish/808065792
