Book Study: Of Mice and Men
Tuesday 15th September 2020
Study of America
in the 1930’s
Today we discussed the story and identified that the era Of
Mice and men is based in the 1930’s.
The book is based around the collapse of the New York Wall
street stock market in 1929 and this was a very prolonged economic depression,
which meant that;
- · Business’ failed
- · poverty struck a high
- · Crops failed
- · long term unemployment.
- · Short term contracts
- · Poorly paid contracts for work
- · Men mainly travelled alone in search of work, going from ranch to ranch

After finding out the history of
the 1930’s gave us a great understanding of what the book is based around. We
researched more information about the Great depression.
We started to plan our
presentations and headings to focus on ready to do our speaking and listening
task.
