Billy Sunday and Will Rogers: Thoughts on Prohibition
[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. Billy Sunday, in one of his numerous sermons about alcohol being "God's Worst Enemy" preached that, although some argued personal liberty was at stake, in reality personal liberty simply meant that a man could "stand up at the bar and fill his hide so full of red liquor that he is transformed for the time being into an irresponsible, dangerous, evil-smelling brute." Rogers, on the other hand, predicted that "if it was repealed tomorrow, the lives and habits and morals of the whole country wouldn't be ruined." These interesting and opposing viewpoints are presented within this paper. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Bonnie and Clyde (1967 movie): Cultural Impacts
[ send me this essay ]
(7 pp) Few if any art pieces that survive are made
in a vacuum. What that means is that somehow
something was going on in the country or the
culture, which caused the appeal of Bonnie and
Clyde? This discussion will look at the historical
period of the movie itself, and the historical
period of the time in which it was shown to make
some conclusions. Our thesis statement for this
paper is that there are numerous overlays of
attitude - hope and despair-- between the Great
Depression and the late sixties, which
reinforced the appeal of this movie.
Bibliography lists 4 sources + 1932, 1934 poetry by Bonnie Parker.
