Hi guys how are you?
AfilCa [17]
This is just a car crash you can edit it however you want I hope it helps as a base!! Happy Easter<3

I watched the news as the reporter interviewed one of the witnesses in this horrific car crash the man looked almost excited to be telling the story he spoke stating that “One moment the road is there, wide open and safe, the next there are loud noises, acrid smells and pain that you may or may not recover from.” he tells it like it’s an action movie but a car crash comes as a shock and that's an aspect the movies and novels aren't good at showing. It is the equivalent of looking without seeing, a form of emotional blindness.

How did Hoover and Roosevelt differ in their response to the Great Depression?
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

Hoover basically did nothing; he believed that he should provide guidance to charitable organizations and not give money directly to the people of America. Roosevelt helped those in need and created jobs so people could rebuild our economy while help others. For example, the Tennesse Valley Authority built dams that provide electricity to rural areas of the United States.
