Imagine you are in the Great Depression. Explain how bad it is.

This question depends on what one's station is in life and where one is located. The Great Depression was especially bad for farmers who faced falling crop prices for most of the 1920s. Farmers in the Dust Bowl had the worst time of it since they could not grow anything due to extreme drought. Many would lose their farms and be forced to go into the cities or to go West in search of day labor. Workers in the cities experienced job losses as factories closed due to falling demand. Even workers who did not lose their jobs often faced reduced wages or reduced hours. At the bottom of the Great Depression in 1933, the unemployment rate was at 25 percent, but these numbers do not fully explain the effects of underemployment on the population. While relatively few people starved to death, many were forced to live on the streets in Hoovervilles and/or into public relief bread lines in order to survive. Many of these people had their savings wiped out as well when banks shuttered partially due to stock market speculation. Whether you decide to write about the life of a rural or urban American, you should focus on poverty and its widespread nature during the Depression.
