Coping with The Great Depression

The Great Depression was between the years 1929 and 1939. It was one of America's worst tragedies where the stock market crashed and the economy sunk. Most Americans became poor and needed to sacrifice a lot of things.

1. Selling Jewelry and clothing to get money
2. Giving up the luxury of dental care and not being able to afford medicine
3. Moving from a good house to a little apartment
4. Only owning one pair of socks and drying them in the oven
5. Kids sleep together in the kitchen
6. Not paying bills which leads to electric and heat being shut off
7. Giving breakfast to the kids and rationing food
8. Not being able to pay for milk so they add water to milk
9. Sending children to relatives
10. Fighting while injured and covering injuries to get jobs

Prohibition

Prohibition was a nationwide constitutional ban on the sale, production, importation, and transportation of alcoholic beverages. This lasted from 1920 to 1933. The effects this had on society were people began to unlawfully make, sell, and transport alcoholic beverages without registration or paying taxes. These people were called bootleggers. Also, speakeasies came into play. These were illicit liquor stores or nightclubs. Society fought against this amendment and rises of mass disobedience began. Although there was a decrease in arrests and hospitalization for alcoholism and instances of liver-related medical problems, those against the amendment fought it and this brought about the "flapper" and allowed women to drink cocktails, smoke, and dance to jazz.

The Literary Effects of War Horse

In the movie, War Horse, there are many literary effects that the producers used. They made sure the accents were believable from German soldiers to French grandfathers and granddaughters to English soldiers and townspeople. There was also a part in the movie when an English and a German soldier went to untangle Joey and they argued over who would receive the horse. Both sides called Joey a war horse.

This is Emilie, the French granddaughter, with Joey and Topthorn.

The Dramatic Effects of War Horse

In the movie, War Horse, there are many dramatic effects that the producers used. Some dramatic effects they used were the settings that included the meadow, town, and battlefield. Also the costumes they used varied between horse-riding gear and army uniforms. Other dramatic effects they used were the way the characters talked because they had all different accents and they way the made their voice move from calm speaking to yelling.
