The firsthand accounts being used in this paper are selections taken from the book Hard Times, written by Louis ‘Studs’ Terkel. I will focus on his interview of Emma Tiller, Cesar Chavez, and Blackie Gold, three very different individuals with three very different experiences and social statuses during the time of the Great Depression. Their experiences will, hopefully, provide an illuminating perspective to a history that has so often been cut and dried, referring to its people, often only as a whole or groups. Rarely is the focus on certain individuals and how their relations connect to their nation as a whole. Looking at Emma Tiller’s experience, we see how she dealt with the market collapse of 1929, where individuals were fearfully seeking justification for why things are in shambles.

Mackenzie Simmons Ms. Bushey AP literature October 7, 2014 Frankenstein The three works in “Frankenstein” read aloud by the creature are paradise lost by John Milton, sorrows of werther by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Plutarch’s lives by Thomas North, and the one work that he overheard was ruins of empire by C.F. Volney. The creature is amused by Werthers meditations upon death and suicide, Plutarchs elevated regard for past generations heroes, Miltons story of the struggle between god and his creations, and gains a sense of the world through ruins of empires.

“Words from the basement: Markus Zusak's The Book Thief.” Notes on Contemporary Literature: From Literature Resource Center. 41.1 (Jan. 2011). This writer talks about the importance of the different roles that the Hubermann’s cellar/ basement plays in the novel. The basement is a refuge and a sanctuary for Liesel (with her books and words) as well as for Max (a Jew in hiding). The writer of this article talks about how the basement isn’t just a hiding place for a Jew or a refuge to learn but it is a place to rebel against authority when Max transforms it into a setting for creative/political activity by painting over Hitler’s Mein Kampf erasing Hitler’s authority and becoming his own authority.

In 1918, Ford's closest aide and private secretary, Ernest G. Liebold, purchased an unknown weekly newspaper for Ford, The Dearborn Independent. The American Jewish Historical Society described the ideas presented in the magazine as anti-immigrant, anti-labor, anti-liquor, and anti-Semitic. In Germany, Ford's anti-Semitic articles from The Dearborn Independent were issued in four volumes, cumulatively titled The International Jew, the World's Foremost Problem. Hitler said he regarded Ford as his "inspiration”. After reading all the articles and doing further research on Henry Ford, I believe he is a “Captain of Industry”.

Of Mice and Men – Power Of Mice and Men is a film produced in 1992, depicting the American world during the late 1920’s Great Depression. This event influenced the lives of the characters in the story and of millions of people in real life; in fact, the movie is an adaptation of a novel which was written during the Great Depression, explaining where and how the author of the novel - and consequently, the writers of the movie - got their main themes, ideas and setting from. The author has stylized and exaggerated Of Mice and Men as even though he was influenced by the Great Depression [like in the story], and the novella has evidence that it may have been directly influenced by the author’s life, Of Mice and Men can be considered as a work of fiction and as a result,
