The great depression affected bud greatly because since there was no money being made he could not buy food or clothing. The only place he could get food was at the place where they give out food to the poor but sometimes bud couldn’t get food there because you had to be in the line very early in the morning. Sometimes fights would break as other people were waiting for food. As a young boy who needs food Bud went days sometimes without food.
The depression also caused many kids to be sent to the orphanage. There were several reasons why, like their parents dying or their parents not having enough money for them. This cause the home to be overcrowded and the women who sent Bud to the Amoses house said he was lucky since he was picked out of the many children.
