Literature in itself is a sort of magic  for the mind. It allows our minds to expand and to create it's own pictures rather than having them created for us. Our imaginations can run rampant with the things that we read; often times providing a way of escape for many. Literature also teaches, in the most basic way of reading. We can glean new information and connect it with old, and we can broaden our minds, and with that, our worlds. Whether being used for means of Escape or education, literature provides new passage way for the mind to traverse.

The 1930's saw the heart of the Great Depression. The struggles and strife, the hope that came with the New Deal and all of the new organizations that it offered. In the midst of all of this, literature became a large part of the American culture. The literature of the time, including books, films and theatrical performances, provided both escapism and realism to the people of the time. they could leave the worries pressing down on their minds for a couple of hours at the movies or the theater, and they could even do so in their own homes with books. Heaven knows that during that time in our history that they definitely needed it. (Holly)
