Dear Book Enthusiasts,
I was reading a book called Welcome to Kit's World. Sounds like a story does'nt it. But if you think so it, is'nt! This book has so many facts about the Great Depression. If you're wondering what that is, it's a long story. Before the economic downturn, people abused money like they were never were goin to run out of it. Well...you're going to feel so bad for those people. One day on Wall Street, (the stock trading area in NYC) Stock Traders came to trade and sell their share of stocks. No one...BOUGHT OR SOLD ANYTHING! The bank was going to close so everyone rushed to the bank to withdraw their life savings. They called that horrific day BLACK TUESDAY!!!!! People could'nt pay their mortgage so you know what that means...FORCLOSURE!(when the bank takes away the house). Over time it got worse. People became homeless. Also...I'm sure you heard the word hobo from television shows. But hobos were men that were homeless during the economic plunge. They were also sometimes girls. Tramps and Bums are different names for Hobos. People were very afraid of them and often thought they were dangerous people. Well you better read the Book to find learn about that time of history.

Great review! Your enthusiasm really shines through!
ReplyDeleteI agree. But I also disagree, you shouldn't be scared of the hobos. At first, they may be grumpy or scary because they went through bad times. So don't be scared.
ReplyDeleteI want to read this book.
