Eric Allen Dr. Stanley English 120 3/27/13 There are many things that can be dissected from any novel or novella as long as the time and effort is put into it.

Jennifer Price‚ in her essay “The Plastic Pink Flamingo: A Natural History‚” provides the reader with a brief account of a fad during the 1950’s. While narrating the article with a mild‚ satirical tone‚ Price also includes a plethora of details to present an anecdote. However‚ by doing so she also embeds her own view on United States culture – a culture she ridicules as overly commercialized and volatile. The sudden “splash” of the pink flamingo into the fifties is a result of America’s capitalistic

My Beautiful Place Have you ever felt like you were born in the wrong era? I ask this because I know I do. The place that I consider beautiful is America‚ but please bear with me for a second and let me explain.

Put those two things and combine them together would surely lure me into looking and probably admiring an artwork. These comic book covers are dated from the 1950’s‚ but it still has the same feel as to the comics today. It still

Kath Walkers story embraces some of the topics that people ran away from in the 1950s and talks about them openly and truthfully and this is what makes the story so rivoting.
