During these last years, the New Deal Program ends and the Theatre Project is finished (1935-1939), and the Great Depression ends, but the start of WWII is just ahead. Although many thing ended in the late 30s, great things and people came out of this era.
The famous Babe Ruth was inducted into the
Baseball Hall of Fame and a famous
architect; Frank Lloyd Wright; designed his house called "Fallingwater".
This house was built over a waterfall in Pennsylvania and is currently owned
and maintained by the state as an historical site.
 I Babe Ruth
In 1936 the Hoover Dam
was completed. Many people had job during the building of this, but had low
wages and very poor living conditions. A lot of people died, either from
disease, starvation, living conditions, or building accidents.
Literature was very comforting during the 20s and 30s. Most of the works that
were printed and wrote were memories of WWI and the Great Depression eras.
Poetry was an experimented type of writing during this time. There wasn't really
anymore rhyming, but meter-appearance and punctuation were experimented with.
Ernest Hemingway wrote A Farewell to Arms after WWI.
Marcel Proust wrote
a book that explained a man's day and all of the things he forgets in his life
times.
