    Elmer Gantry The majority of all books are trash. Sinclair Lewis’ Elmer Gantry is a great book because it has credibility, a timeless theme, and it has the necessary action. Any book that can do that is a great book. The credibility of Elmer Gantry is something that will keep this book eternally great. Although the actual time period is dated, the plot is not dated. Most people can relate to the different characters in the book. Elmer is a pompous football player who thinks that he is higher

    Any Bonds Today? Bugs Bunny Propagandist Imagine audiences sitting in the movie theater trying to escape from looming hardships of World War II. They sit and watch as the commercials begin to play when one of the most familiar tunes in animation begins to play. The commercial presents itself deceptively using the classic Looney Tunes curtain opening and theme music with the simple title of “Bugs Bunny.” The only hint at the true purpose of advertising at this point is the producer listing of the

    hand, marketed to a more mature audience. Making studios like Warner Brothers have a lucrative stake in the animation business. The hilarity of it is that these days THE LOONEY TOONS cartoons are kid friendly they won’t even show the episode where Elmer Fud kills Bugs Bunny. The fact that the competitor’s studios decided to aim for a more mature audience shows me two things. The first is the studios did not believe they could compete head to head with Disney.

    rendition of “Rabbit of Seville,” but she also sent me the video of Bugs Bunny himself belting out the silly ditty. If one is not already aware, “Rabbit of Seville,” is a short animation bit released by Warner Bros. In the scene, Bugs Bunny lures Elmer Fudd (everyone’s favorite hunter with a speech impediment) onto a stage. The curtains rise and he aggressively cuts Fudd’s hair while performing a mock-melody from the overture of the opera buffa The Barber of Seville by Gioachino Rossini. The clip

    newer generation. If parents say that cartoons now are more violent than those of earlier years than why are there so many, and so many different ratings accompanied with the beginning of every show. What about “Bugs Bunny” and “Daffy Duck” with “Elmer Fudd,” and how many fights and hunting scenes there was. What about “Road Runner” and how many times “Wylie Coyote” tried to kill him. All these cartoons amused many children in earlier years and present years. So why start complaining now? Can parents

    was watching an episode of the Roadrunner on television. As Wile Coyote was pushed off a cliff by the roadrunner for the fourth or fifth time, I started laughing uncontrollably. I then watched a Bugs Bunny show and started laughing whenever I saw Elmer Fudd shoot Daffy Duck and his bill went twirling around his head. The next day, I pushed my brother off a cliff and shot my dog to see ifs its head would twirl around.      Obviously, the last sentence is not true. The example

    performance Al Jolson did in the movie “The Jazz Singer.” Finally, the picture pulls in close on Bugs’ face as he wipes away the paint and once the picture pulls back out the backdrop has changed. It shows a combat scene full of planes and ships as Elmer Fudd and Porky Pig appear to help close the advertisement with singing and dancing. As the song ends a simple war bonds ad pulls into frame. It now presents a Minuteman on the left and texts that reads “For Defense Buy United States Savings Bonds and

    Bruce Barton. In 1960 it was sold to the masses by way of a film entitled Elmer Gantry. Bruce Barton sold a different idea of Jesus than most people were familiar with. In the film, Elmer Gantry sold religion with bravado and arrogance which was not the typical way of selling religion either.

Elmer Gantry sold religion in a similar way to Barton’s Jesus but did so in a more relatable
