Writing an Interview pg:750 #6 By: Cam Hall

     The Great Depression was the most severe economic downturn in the history of America, which occured from 1929 to 1941. A big amount of people suffered through many hardships and challenges during this time and they were all not able to properly carry out the activities of everyday life. If I was able to interview a surviver of the Great Depression on what it was like to live during the Great Depression, I would ask him or her many different questions. These questions would include how much money, on average, did the person own, how much did it cost to buy food and supplies, what social class was the person in at the time, and did the person have to live in a "Hooverville." I would also ask if the person was working/helping the family out at the time plus did the person have to be put out of school, and how their personal reation overall was towards the Great Depression. I would also ask if the person's father was put out of his job plus if the person was on the brink of starvation and finally were any friends or other family of this person stuck in the same situation (Also, was this person better off than the people around him or her, or worse). Besides asking this person these questions, I would also tell the person that I was sorry to hear about the struggles that he or she went through, as well as many other things, too. Overall and finally, the Great Depression left a big mark on the people who lived during its time and it is still greatly remembered and talked about in the world.
