Question

What does the cartoonist suggest will happen to individuals because of the crash? (Day Of Wrath by James N. Rosenberg)

Answer 1

They will be crushed and trapped by the economic crash.

The image shows the buildings of Wall Street falling and smoke rising from the buildings. The people are in between the buildings with fear on their faces. The image suggests the people will not be able to escape the falling of the economy.

On October 29, 1929, the US stock market crashed. This crash took away jobs, bank accounts, and the lives of millions. There were very few people who were able to survive the crash with little loss. Some were so devastated by the loss they left their families or even committed suicide.
