Hard Rock, an obvious alias, was a prison hero. The stories of his resistance to prison authorities have reached legendary status some of his acts might very well be mythologized and exaggerated.

“And the band started playing one of those really slow songs, like “Stairway to Heaven” or “Freebird” that probably have really great lyrics or something but the song itself just is awful-just awful. Then this real phony guy, with the hair all slicked back on the top of his head stood up with the Sax and did a solo. I almost died. I mean, almost completely died right there. It had to be the cheesiest solo I had ever heard. I mean he was swaying back and forth and he closed his eyes like he was really getting into it and all, but it was the fakest thing you ever heard. It was like something out of a bad Howard Johnson’s. I swear, he must record Muzak for a living or drive

In 1956 Elvis Presley recorded and performed Hound Dog, in this rhythmic blues type of newfound Rock and roll. Elvis Presley brought into feeling; the movements of rock ‘n’ roll in the 1950s. While listening to Elvis Presley's cover presentation of Hound Dog, his rendition was quite different in one emotional effect from that of Willie Mae Thornton presents. The feeling one may obtain while listening to Elvis Presley's Hound Dog, may be to get up and dance, and clap your hands, as it energizes the insides of your soul. Rock 'n' roll can take a sad song and pump it with enthusiasm. The mindset as one, listening to Elvis Presley's rendition of hound dog, would be livelier. The soul and inner soul of a human would be more to jump and dance at this version versus Willie Mae Thornton’s version of Hound Dog.

To define a film by a certain genre, there are several elements and signatures that a film will display in order to signify its place amongst the genre. A film from the gangster genre is characterized by violence and lawlessness of american capitalism and The American Dream. The short lived classical era of the gangster genre in Hollywood is also greatly influenced by the production code which manifested the iconic moral narrative of the gangster genre. William A. Wellman’s 1931 film The Public Enemy can be considered a film of the gangster genre when one examines the conflict with the American dream, the rise and fall of the protagonist Tom Powers, as well as the visual storytelling employed to support the narrative.

The film, American Gangster, directed and produced by Ridley Scott is a drama based on the biography of Frank Lucas. In the movie, Frank Lucas constructs his own business of illegal work after his boss, Bumpy Johnson, passes away. Frank builds a heroin business, following in the footsteps of Bumpy, and becomes the most powerful crime boss in Manhattan. Furthermore, because of Frank’s immoral ways, he gets caught by the police and is sentenced to 15 years in prison. As the movie progresses I form a couple assumptions of what could happen in the short term and long term. First off, when Frank Lucas attains his heroin I believe that in the short term he will succeed. Frank has established a vast amount of insights into the drug business from Bumpy, and from what he has learned he will take in and apply it to his situation. However, all immoral acts will have to be put to an end, so in the long term, Frank’s heroin business will be caught. If Frank’s business is the biggest thing in Manhattan then the police are bound to question where are all the illegal drugs coming from, how, why, and who. The police were already hunting him down so it was inevitable for him to get out of his illegal mess.
