Of Mice and Men Preparation Presentation

The American Dream The idea was coined when America first became independent (in 1776) but the current idea of the ‘American Dream’ was founded in 1931 in a book by James Adams. The common perception is that you will own a house, with a nicely mowed lawn and a white picket fence, with a wife, a girl and a boy. The American Dream is the ideology that if you work hard, then you will succeed and do well in life.

The Wall Street crash destroyed Americas economy for 12 years, starting in 1929 and ending in 1947. The Wall Street Crash of 1929 Anyone who had brought stocks in Dow Jones lost them all in the matter of a few days. (As it had previously been at an all time high) ‘Anyone who bought stocks in mid-1929 and held onto them saw most of his or her adult life pass by before getting back to even’ – Richard Salsman, describing how serious the crash was.

The Great Depression followed the Wall Street Crash, and was a period in time that 25% of all the people in the US were unemployed and over 33% of people, in some countries. A picture of two men wandering into the wilderness, very similar to ‘Of Mice and Men’ The Great Depression
