Context - The Great Depression

The Great Depression was a time of immense struggle for many people across North America. Both the film we recently viewed and the short story we will soon be examining are set in and around this time.

By understanding the many challenges that were faced by the characters in the film, we have a better chance of empathizing with the characters in our short story.

"Context" is an important term that you must know. Make sure you are clear on both the definition and how it is used in practice.
