RJA #11a: Introduction-

Many people have heard the famous saying that all good things must come to an end, and this wasnt an exception for the roaring 20's. This ending came unexpectedly when the The Stock Market Crash, also known as the Great Crash occured. When people hear this word, they think of one of the greatest causes of the Great Depression. Many people lost alot of their money and even lost their jobs. It was a terrible tragedy in the history of the United States and people hope that there will never be a Great Crash like this again.

People believe that the stock market crash of 1929 was caused by the stocks being over priced, also that there was very little margin relative to the value of the market and that there were massive frauds and illegal activity in the stocks. However, this is only the thin layer of what really caused the great crash of 1929.

  1. Looks good Missy!

    the only thing I can see is this sentence:

    "Many people lost alot of their money and even lost their jobs."

    Maybe you could say something like:

    Many people suffered considerable financial loss, even losing their jobs.
