I decided to chose these particular pieces because there was lots of variety in the my three pieces. First off we have the farmers which was a group of people who had been struggling way before the depression even started, second we have workers who went on strike in order to keep their jobs, lastly we have the regular people just looking to get food and comfort themselves and their families.
