Charles Lindbergh was very important to the time period of the 1920's. He was important in many ways. One such way is for his non-stop solo flight from New York to Paris. It was a great inspiration to the people of not only America but Europe as well. The French hailed him when he arrived in Paris. Another way Charles Lindbergh is important to the 1920's is because of the way he barely said anything. He let the press do the talking for him, which they loved until it started to get boring with him not saying anything. Finally, Charles Lindbergh is important to the 1920's because he hated fame. While celebrities like Babe Ruth and Jack Dempsey embraced it and loved it, Charles Lindbergh hated it, but he couldn't escape it. Because of this, Charles Lindbergh represents Theme 5 (The Public Life is the Private Life).

The Dundies as "Nifty Gifties" or How would Lord Rupert Everton fit in the Jazz Age?

]
The first award for Holly,the "Cat's Pajamas" was given because cats pajamas in 20's slang is someone really wonderful and awesome, all of which Michael would agree with. Angela won "Not the Cat's Meow but Mrs. Grundie" because Michael wouldn't say she's cool or anything, but she is uptight and prude. The third dundie for Andy, was given because he played a sailor in the play "Sweeney Todd" at the local theatre. Chassis in 20's slang means good body, and when Jim and Pam were getting married, Jim's brothers made a rude speech about how hot her body is. The fifth dundie for Kelly was given to her because bearcat means tough girl. And she's Indian. Gabe won the award for guy wiith the most beef because "beef" is twenties for complaints. Meredith, of course, won ossified in the office beacause she loves to drink alcohol. Kevin won "nobody's home" because that means that you're dumb, which is something Michael would probably say. Creed won Old bird because he's just odd in general. Jim and Pam won the goofy couple because of their office romance, which now isn't the only one! The 9.5 dundie was made by Dwight, trying to promote himself to women. I wanted it to seem like the tape he shows Michael at Pam and Jims wedding. Oscar got the tenth dundie for wet blanket because that is twenties for a boring person. Phyllis got the dundie for least amount of it because Michael is always pointing out how old she is or odd, even though he's the same age as her. Toby got the pill to bump off, because I'm sure that Michael would take any chance to kill him. And ofcourse Michael gets the Big Cheese award because he's "The World's Greatset Boss"

The only reason that Judy doesn't want to go out with Dexter is because if she settles down, the other guys aren't going to pay attention to her and she WILL NOT LET THAT HAPPEN. Looking back at the story, Dexter says things like; "I love you" and "I want to marry you" and Judy says I love you back but Dexter knows that she is bluffing and he seems to not care because his love for her is so great and he won't let her go.

Judy represents theme #4 because she is all about herself and about herself, who is looking at her, and how she looks doing it. She also represents theme #8 because she was so beautiful at the early stages but when you get older your beauty wears off and her party was over.

He is still well known now with his characters: Mickey Mouse and the others. Even though his companies made good money, they had become loaded with debt. Disney’s first character, before Mickey, was Oswald the Lucky Rabbit which was made in 1927. Disney lost the right to claim Oswald but reclaimed him after 78 years in 2006. Mickey was created after Disney lost Oswald in 1947. I feel that Disney was the one that had popularized animation and cartoons, if he didn’t create cartoons, there would be no cartoons.

"Spiking" and "Striking" through the 1920s

New inventions of household items were very popular and helpful in the 1920's. New Inventions were important because the newer forms of advertisement gave costumers easier ways of knowing about products and people outside of cities knew more about the products which caused a new consumer cultural to arise. These new inventions were also important because many of these inventions we still use today. Vacuum cleaners, toasters, washing machines, and refrigerators all helped women with house work and cut back on the time it takes to get it done. These were especially targeted at middle class women because they were designed to appeal to the new "American Homemaker." These new inventions connect to Theme number 4, "It's not what you do, it's who notices." I feel that these connect to that theme because people wanted to have new machines to show how special and popular they were. If they had the new "toy" people would know that they had money and become jealous of them, therefore making their image greater.

The theme that Langston Hughes represents is theme 3. He represents this theme because before he became famous there was someone else that was the center of attention like how Europe was the center of attention before WW1. Then when Hughes became famous and then center of attention it was like how America later became the center of attention. So eventually the center of attention changes and does not just stay the same. (Page 750, Par. 2)
