Entry Eight: WPA, Dorothea Lange, Public Art, schools and roads and bridges

May 1934,

Dear Diary,
There has been lots of pictures coming from the great plains a lady called Dorothea Lange has been taking them and showing it to people all over The United States of America. Because they've been showing how terrible it over their in how people are barley living. Many people are showing the public art, going out taking pictures of how bad the Great Depression is hitting people in different ways. We haven't been getting letters from my dad for 3 weeks already, I'm scared that his living like that what if his the one in the pictures. I've been seeing more and more schools being built around our area, lots and lots of roads are being built as well. President Roosevelt programs made one of the most beautiful bridges in the world named The Golden Gate bridge, in the last letters dad sent us he told us that he saw when they were building it. We've only seen pictures I cant wait to be able to go to California and drive across The Golden Gate bridge.
