What I am Focusing on This Blog + Topic Illustration

So...
Considering that I made it clear that I am blogging on the 30's, I believe I also made it clear that I was blogging about the Great Depression. This is a progressing work, so not all information will immediately be posted in a few entries. It will probably take time (as this is a school assignment as well).

What I am focusing on this blog is The Great Depression in general. Probably I will be covering all the necessary topics and not go into too much detail (because I just can't find anything I can concentrate on).

Also, for the second assignment, here is a picture that illustrates The Great Depression:




Well, this picture is one of a sign. It symbolizes "the hard times" during this decade. It says: "Jobless Men Keep Going, We Can't Take Care of our Own". Apparently, this sign is speaking for itself. It was a time when the stock markets went out of control and eventually crashed, leaving people out on the streets. Telling jobless men to keep going means that...people...themselves can no longer even support their own families. They keep on searching and searching to feed themselves day by day.

I hope thats enough of a description. Well, it was not really a description. It was an explanation. Well...

The description is that there is a sign that says "Jobless Men Keep Going, We Can't Take Care of our Own". It is a black and white picture, with men with hats and old suits that are walking past it. Which adds to the fact that this picture is older than the 1960's, when coloration came into films and pictures.

Well, that should be enough. Uh...

One more thing. The assignment says:

You will have 2 tasks today.
a) Make one posting about what you want to focus on the 20s or 30s.
Ex: economy in 20s, families in 30s, Jazz etc.
You are expected to research and write with your own words a paragraph about it.
b) 2nd posting: You will post a picture and explain the picture (what’s happening, how does it help us understand the era etc)

So if I were to have to post another entry...that means I have to literally start another new post. Oh...well.

I do not like posting another post for actual reasons. I just feel unorganized and kind of spammy if I do that. So...hopefully I only have a few points deducted for this reason. It may seem more organized for the teacher, but personally, this is something I just dislike.

...I do not think anyone cares.

~End of Assignment 2 (or 3 depending on what you consider it).
