After reading more about the depression it really hit me how much the lower and middle class suffered from this period of time.  It is really hard to understand as someone who lives in the North Shore, because we have never gone to bed hungry and most likely never will.  As they describe how they felt and how they had to get through the hard times, it is very depressing to hear what they had to go through.  Some families were so short for food and money that they felt the only way out was to commit suicide.  The fact that one thing (the stock market crash) could affect so many people in such negative ways is very disheartening.
