    THE GREAT DEPRESSION

    Charmaine Rodgers- HIS 153

    Rodgers 1

    My name is Helen and I am the daughter of a farmer in the Great Depression in rural
    American. I have one brother and one sister we all share in our chores. My family has owned this
    farm since the Civil War or at least thats what grandma always said. As soon as I wake up my
    brother and I walk to watering hole to get water then we gather eggs for mother to make us
    breakfast. One egg a piece some bread with syrup. I am wearing homemade clothes and hand me
    down from my sister who is older. We have a 10 mile walk to school which is in the nearby
    town. School is nice but if its not talking about helping the crops grow quicker or how to make
    the rain come faster I really dont listen. Once we make it home its time for the fieldwork. My
    father has been in the fields since sunrise and I hate to see him work so hard. Sometimes I help
    my mother sew clothes or wash by hand our clothes. Once we finish the field we do our
    homework or lessons as we call it we eat dinner. Dinner is always good with green beans and
    tomatoes sometimes we have pork or beef but we never go without something. Every day is like
    this the days we dont go to school we get to go hunting with my father. I can shoot a gun, skin
    animals and swim like a fish. Sometimes we go to our neighbors land were they have a radio and
    we dance the night away. Everyone helps each other out here one time the neighbors was close to
    losing their farm but we all got together and raised the money. Tomorrow there is a barn dance
    where the whole county gets together. I love it because I can square dance so well my father
    taught me. The last dance I caught my sister necking with the boy from across the lake but I
    didnt tell mother she just owes me a favor. I think Johnny likes me if he was to ask me to go for
    a walk or get some ice cream I might say yes but he hasnt yet. Daddy said President Roosevelt
    is going to be sending help for us poor farmers I wonder how many people he is sending to help
    with the crops.
