The interesting event known as the 2016 election has offered a good day for the nation’s oldest third party. The Prohibition Party has had its biggest national election results since 1988. The Prohibition Party has received over 5,500 votes from the current ballot results, and will likely have a higher total once write-in ballots from other states are reported. The results are already more than 10 times the party’s national vote in 2012. It is a sign of the hard work the Prohibition Party’s members

Faulkner employed an unmistakeably flowery, intense, and suspenseful narration, often from many different perspectives. He even constructed – in the truer sense of the word – a whole southern American-themed world (which he named “Jefferson and Yoknapatawpha County”) for his stories and acted through his writing as his world 's historian. In this essay I turn to part of that history as told by Faulkner in two of his most famous works and short stories, “Barn Burning” and “A Rose For Emily”, with

for Emily" is a short story written by renowned Mississippi-based writer and Nobel-prize laureate William Faulkner, that tells the tale of Ms. Emily Grierson's life through the eyes of someone who witnessed everything that happened in the town of Jefferson.

Living by the restrictions that society places upon us, humanity is constrained to follow rules. Television writers were forced to write a certain way and were forced to leave out information that society would deem as improper, rude, and even racist. However, in 1971, a groundbreaking American television sitcom broke through societal boundaries and transformed the way that the American audience viewed television. Engulfed by the Vietnam War, Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s, fight for

Norman Lear was picked as a nominee for the prestigious Kennedy Center Award. Instead of accepting the award, Lear decided to boycott the Kennedy Center ceremony in December at the White House to protest Donald Trump presidency. Norman Lear has embodied the role as an agent of change because throughout his life, he has been breaking societal norms and discussing issues in society that people are afraid to talk about. Specifically, in 1971, a groundbreaking American television sitcom broke through

It was criticized for negative stereotyping. Louise Jefferson was like an old-south “Mammy”, and George, although rich, was always the butt of someone’s joke, whom no one really respected.

All in the Family In 1971, New York Times columnist Fred Ferretti wrote an article about a new television series called All in the Family. Ferretti asked, whether or not if racism and bigotry were considered funny and he concluded that it was not and as a result believed that the show was lacking good taste.

I’m Henry Jefferson and this is how school changed my life. It was a warm sunny day in March, everything was normal or so I thought. I got up at 6:00 a.m sharp. I took a shower, then got dressed and ate breakfast. Once I was done with breakfast I did my hair and brushed my teeth. Then, I went to my bus stop and got on the bus.
