Mom comes in and turns on the TV. You instantly recognize the song and sing along. All of your memories while watching the show invade your feelings and thoughts. The song is almost over and you happily shout, "How to get to Sesame Street!" Almost every person has seen the fascinating award winning show called Sesame Street during their childhood. Although you might not have thought about it, it took a lot of time and effort to bring it together. This show has gone through some rough times but even after that, it …show more content…

All things have to come to an end sooner or later and in 1982 tragedy struck. Will Lee who played Big Bird’s friend Mr. Hooper was no more. The world was in shock, then Sesame Street came out with an episode of Big Bird overcoming this occasion. The Smell of Smoke and Sorrows 9/11. What comes to mind when you hear that date? I’m guessing sorrow, tears, smoke, and lives tearing in half. This was one of the worst times in our history. Children were petrified. Joan G. Cooney wanted to do something for them. Some days later Elmo had a kitchen fire and learned to overcome his fears with the help of some firefighters. This was a message for children to stay strong throughout hard times. Sesame Street was never just a TV show, it is a support for children through hard times (and it was an educational program but that doesn’t matter right now after my impactful quote.) A Show for ALL Audiences The Cast Sesame Street has always been encouraging to all audiences. Well, what happens when they add a new puppet to a whole new audience? Autism records have been going off the charts since 1988. The show hasn’t really touched the topic of autism yet. So they decided to add a new puppet to the cast. Julia has autism. So when she doesn’t respond to something Abby Cadabby and Elmo explain why. She will appear in 3 episodes in the current season and more often during the next

    The victims were broke and unable to provide for their children and families after the accident. The laws made it hard for women to get jobs to pay for their living and food for the house and that caused the society to go down hill. The effects of this tragedy started to become active in the women’s suffrage movement which was to protest against women’s rights in the 1900’s. This movement went on for a long time until women were eventually treated as equal as men were in wages, hours, working conditions and child labor

  • Research Paper On Friday Night Lights

    1466 Words  | 6 Pages

    The film Friday Night Lights (2004) is based on the real-life story of the 1988 Permian Panthers football team in Odessa, Texas. The film is a more fictionalized account of the book it’s based on, written by author H.G. Bissinger and downplays the more intense issues that plagued Odessa when Bissinger followed the team during the 1988 season (Briley 1). The film follows Coach Gary Gaines (portrayed by Billy Bob Thornton) as he coaches the Panthers in the football obsessed town. The film portrays the societal pressures put on young athletes, especially in a town where one sport seems to be the dominating past-time. No matter where these athletes go, they can’t escape the pressures to succeed in the sport and go undefeated.

    n Barbara Ehrenreich’s The Worst Years of Our Lives, she highlights a significant infection festering in American Culture: television as a main event, or only event in a day. As she says “you never see people watching tv”, and that happens because it truly isn’t entertaining. It substitutes for a life. The television has been pulling people into an allusion of a false reality and a seemingly boring life since its implementation. She essentially illustrates the negative impact television has on todays society.

    but how do you expect us to fix this? The economy was in shambles, overproduction was apparent, and the only other people in the family not working were sadly the children. They were targeted, but not for exact reason that is depicted to emotionally amplify this speech. Children were targeted only because the parents needed a source of income other than their own to survive. All in all, without individual women like Florence Kelley, much of the problems regarding emotional and ethical appeal would just be set aside.

    The film Boyz N the Hood is a story about life in South Central Los Angeles. The film was wrote and directed by John Singleton in 1991. I chose this movie because of its relevance to the course and how it reflects pop culture in that time period. The opening line in the movie “one out of every twenty-one Black American males will be murdered in their lifetime” really catches the audience attention. This movie goes into detail and shows the life of three young males living in the hood of Los Angeles battling a life surrounded by drugs, violence, and questions of race.
