The Great Depression: The Lucky Cave

The Lucky Cave It’s the Great Depression and here is a family in need of money to survive and live a prosperous lifestyle. The family has four kids: Owen, Danny, Mike, and Sofia. They are raised by two parents, Mark and Susan. Mark sells apples and newspapers on the street, and Susan is a teacher at the local elementary school in New York City. The Great Depression was deepest and longest-lasting economic down turn in the United States. The Great Depression started when the stock market crashed in October 29th. This caused Wall Street to panic and took away millions of their investors. Over the next couple years consumer spending and investment stopped, this caused a large decline in Industrial output and this
The parents couldn't tell them what has happened in the world and they could not lie on how it was not going to get better any time soon. When the news reached their home, Mark and Susan panicked; no clue on what to do. Mark was an investor on Wall Street and Susan was a teacher. Mark lost his high paid job due to the crashing of the stock market, and fewer students attended Susan's school because it costed money to attend her school. They needed money fast to live self-sufficiently and healthy life. Mark picked up the job has a sales marketer for paper and apples. He would sell apples for five cents and paper for five cents. Susan looked to teach at homes with one on one sessions. Both jobs did not work out well for each of them. Susan only landed a couple a kids for low pay, and almost all unemployed people of the American society were selling apples and newspaper. An idea sprung. The idea was for the kids to head out west and strike gold in a cave. Before the Great Depression there was a period of time called the gold rush. The gold rush was the discovery of gold nuggets in California. People were so excited that they all headed west looking to get lucky. The gold rush didn't happen when the DiMarcos needed them. But there is a mythical cave that is unknown that the DiMarcos might try to find. This cave is hidden were only few have made it there, and none have made it out. This cave is located in
They got the bags ready and all equipment in check. The cave from the outside looked massive the opening of the cave looked like a mouth, "this cave looks like he's about to eat us" said Owen. Everyone was terrified once they entered. When you looked up you could see the strange tubes dripping a mysterious gunk like material. The sound of the dripping echoed through the cave. The kids enjoyed the constant sound of the plip-plup-philp-plup they called it calming. The diamonds and crystals were in the middle of the cave and in order to get there. There are many obstacles to overcome on the way to the treasure. The first obstacles was the bridge of rocks. The bridge of rocks were series of rocks aligned on the side of the cave. These rocks were not stable, one wrong step and you can fall into the pit of lava below you. Mike started first so then the group can follow his lead to ensure that there is no mis communication and no one dies. Towards the end of the bridge of rocks Mike takes the jump from one side of the bridge to the other, when he lands the rock cracks. Mike scrambles to hang off a small rock using all of his strength and managed to live a couple extra minutes. Danny and Owen leap into action and head across the bridge and desperately try to help Mike. It was too late. Mike lost his grip and he fell to his death. The rest of the family looked to
