Connection across Time for Chapter 28

The age of Anxiety showed how some people were very optimistic about what was to come after the war was over. Some people may have been fearful, or even doubted that things could change for the good after so much destruction happened. This relates to the economy today, and the election we just had that brought in our new president. (President Barack Obama) The economy has been in so much turmoil since the war in Iraq. People have been losing their jobs, houses are foreclosing, jobs and businesses are shutting down because they can not afford the mortgage or rent, and people are going crazy because they do not see things as heading into the right direction. But once our former President Bush left office and Barack Obama, (who is our new President) took office, the United states started to believe that change would come. People began to have an optimistic attitude just like the people back in the 1930's. We still have a long ways to go before things get smoothed out, and the economy gets back on its feet to better the American citizens, but if we keep believing and have faith, we will make it through!
