I think that was a very hard time for the people who were involved in it. I mean even I couldn't survive and I am only 11. The kids wouldn't learn anything because the school staff wouldn't work because they wouldn't get paid . Food was very scarce back then now days people are much healthier because they have the food to keep there nutrition up and they also have medicine to keep sickness and diseases under control so everyione is living much longer lives. I like living in the generation I livie in now because I don't think I would survive the depression.
