Warehouse workers have never been ones to make a lot of money, so he doesn't have a high economic standing.]]> 2018-10-03 18:11:44 UTC https://padlet.com/skaggsc/zspxopkobdz2/wish/288812980 skaggsc https://padlet.com/skaggsc/zspxopkobdz2/wish/288816430 Back in this time period, people smoked a lot. Especially when they were stressed. Now days, it has transitioned from smoking to vaping.]]> 2018-10-03 18:17:18 UTC https://padlet.com/skaggsc/zspxopkobdz2/wish/288816430 skaggsc https://padlet.com/skaggsc/zspxopkobdz2/wish/288819507 Working in a shoe warehouse during the Great Depression is a lot different than working in a warehouse for minimum wage today. In today's times, Tom would probably be working in a technology warehouse, like Apple.]]> 2018-10-03 18:22:42 UTC https://padlet.com/skaggsc/zspxopkobdz2/wish/288819507 skaggsc https://padlet.com/skaggsc/zspxopkobdz2/wish/288828392 Tom was usually stressed about his life, so when he wasn't smoking, he was going to the movies. Today, I don't think people go to the movies as often as they used to when stressed. Due to the fitness boom, I think more people go to the gym when stressed. ]]> 2018-10-03 18:36:27 UTC https://padlet.com/skaggsc/zspxopkobdz2/wish/288828392 skaggsc https://padlet.com/skaggsc/zspxopkobdz2/wish/288836443 Tom hates his job at the warehouse, and he loves to write. My guess is that he wants to become a writer. Tom could be the next Stephen King.]]> 2018-10-03 18:50:14 UTC https://padlet.com/skaggsc/zspxopkobdz2/wish/288836443 skaggsc https://padlet.com/skaggsc/zspxopkobdz2/wish/288841845 2018-10-03 19:00:11 UTC https://padlet.com/skaggsc/zspxopkobdz2/wish/288841845 skaggsc https://padlet.com/skaggsc/zspxopkobdz2/wish/295619515 Tom secretly wants to leave. He is tired of being told what to do by those around him. He wants to start a new life.

He works at a warehouse, so he won’t get much there, so he goes to the movies to experience the rush of adventure. Today, in order to feel adventure you can control, more people resort to video games.

In modern days, there are all sorts of websites that you can meet people on. You don't need your older brother to go out and look for someone for you anymore.

In modern days, we have a huge variety of options to style our hair so it doesn't get messy.

This will no doubt be one of the reasons he ends up leaving.]]> 2018-10-22 18:32:05 UTC https://padlet.com/skaggsc/zspxopkobdz2/wish/295633437 skaggsc https://padlet.com/skaggsc/zspxopkobdz2/wish/295635546 Tom is so ready to get out of his current situation and start something new that he is willing to let his absence affect those left behind in a negative way. In modern times, this would be more like not paying the cell phone bill.

He knew his mother would be heartbroken when she found out he was leaving, but he chose to never tell her, which only could make things worse.]]> 2018-10-22 18:47:00 UTC https://padlet.com/skaggsc/zspxopkobdz2/wish/295642779
