The family signed an agreement to buy a house, but the house was poorly maintained so it was full of repairs which evidently would cost money that they didn’t have. The community the house was in wasn’t much better, being filled with crime and corruption and not very family oriented. As it seems a lot of their family finds jobs, tragedy strikes with the death of Jurgis’s
This is mainly due to the exorbitant contract agreements with the musicians that must be paid regardless of the number of performances. Fund-raising expenses are another weakness. These represent 15% of the money raised by the symphony, while the opera’s fund-raising expenses total only 6.6% of the money the opera raises. These fund-raising expenses also include $100,000 in bad debt expense, resulting from unpaid pledges. All of these contribute to the biggest financial weakness of the Utah Symphony, which is its profitability.
People who lost their jobs could not feed themselves, pay their rent, and support their family. This forced families together in crowded houses or apartments. People couldn't afford to separate or get divorced because they needed the income of everyone to pay the rent. Men who lost their jobs often felt ashamed of themselves. The man from the “Cinderella Man,” had been ashamed as well as felt unimportant, but he loved his family so much that his pride did not overcome his feelings for his
However, he felt that he could not win in this competition, he had though many people are better than he did. A month before big show, he had spent many times to practice. Although he knew that he owned a good voice, he is still modest. He worked very hard to sing standard and perfect songs which was ready for the show. Ten hours a day to do singing exercise is not a small number, and success only comes with persons who were diligent.
He could feel like he’s in unequal marriage, where George has all the responsibilities. Curley’s Wife is definitely no happy and very lonely since she is living in her father-in-laws house. She thinks she has missed her opportunities in life by living with Curley and a ‘band of lonely men’. She even tries to get a bit of companionship by flirting and talking with the men on the ranch but when she does is comes back on her horribly. No one on the ranch can get the key to not being lonely; the men on the ranch use all their money on the brothel every Saturday night but it doesn’t stop them being lonely, Lennie and George think that having their own place would solve ‘everything’.
The Great Depression didn't just end all at once. Many countries continued to suffer extreme poverty long after the governments declared the depression was over. When banks and businesses were forced to close down, it left millions of hardworking individuals without jobs and that then caused them to suffer financial hardship. With no way to earn money, many people could not pay their bills or buy food and needed help from the government to survive. The public were begging for some sort of program that would help them recover and hopefully gain back what they had lost.
But these immigrant children did not get any pay, this was child labor because the under aged immigrant worker was used and did not receive pay. It was more of a two for one deal for the factory owner because small bodies were needed to fit a certain job. “They are doing away with a great deal of mule-spinning there and putting in ring-spinning…for that reason it takes a good deal of small help…they get all the small help they can to run these ring-frames.” (65). These requirements cost many immigrants available work, leaving these immigrant men without pay unable to provide for their families. In an interview Thomas O’Donnell explains “…at Fall River if a man has not got a boy to act as “back-boy” it is very hard for him to get along…in many cases discharging men in that work and put in men who have boys…and that has brought my circumstances down very much…our children are very often sickly of not having sufficient clothes, shoes, food or something” (64, 65).

Haram Kang, a smart, but yet intimidating individual because of his incredible maturity was one of the most crucial cures to my disease. Despite his young age he was praise leader of Tempe Korean Presbyterian Church’s youth group and many, including me look up to him. Oh how I’ve dreamed of entering his praise team and participating in making music for what I believe in. I tried practically every instrument possible for the praise team, but of course quit and threw down that dream. Haram noticed how hard I’ve
People are struggling to survive everyday because they have no food and shelter. These people may always dig through the trash to find something to eat for the day, not knowing if they will find anything. Families may always live in horrible conditions, having no other choice, because they do not have enough money. It’s extremely hard for them to find well paying jobs in these countries. For most of these people it’s nearly impossible to get out of poverty because they were born and raised in that culture, unless other people who aren’t in poverty help them out.
