suburban Americans looked to new sources of
entertainment. Motion pictures helped supply that
demand.

This source supports my statement because it shows a large group, of what looks like upper class to middle class Americans in the 1920s, gathered around the theatre waiting to see a show. Today this would be a larger variety of people gathered around to see a concert, or a show rather than just a movie. People still go see movies just not dressed as nice and not in such large numbers.]]> 2017-11-15 15:21:23 UTC https://padlet.com/emschnoor/tyl2e1eyy74u/wish/207240621 basya_edu https://padlet.com/emschnoor/tyl2e1eyy74u/wish/207242037 2. The pilot became a new breed of hero, a romantic daredevil who risked death with every flight. 
This source supports my statement by showing how Amy Johnson boldly entered the era of early pilots and shows how she stands as a hero to women in her society. This compares to a firefighter in contemporary society because firemen risk their lives everyday for the safety of others and are seen as heroes by civilians.]]> 2017-11-15 15:23:31 UTC https://padlet.com/emschnoor/tyl2e1eyy74u/wish/207242037 basya_edu https://padlet.com/emschnoor/tyl2e1eyy74u/wish/207249819 4. Many musicians, such as Armstrong, introduced rhythms and themes with clear African roots into their music to better convey the African American cultural experience. 
This supports my statement because it gives an example of a famous African American jazz artist in the 1920's. This compares to African American rappers in contemporary society and how they try to express their culture through music.]]> 2017-11-15 15:34:35 UTC https://padlet.com/emschnoor/tyl2e1eyy74u/wish/207249819 emschnoor https://padlet.com/emschnoor/tyl2e1eyy74u/wish/207254337 1.  During the decade, many women challenged political,
economic, social, and educational boundaries to prove
that their role was as vital outside the home as inside it.

This source supports my statement because it talks about how the roles of women changed in the 1920s from being housewives to actually going out into the world and contributing to society through work. Women today are even more involved in society, with equal jobs but still not equal pay. Things are much better for women but not completely equal to men.

wrote, “We younger Negro artists who create now intend
to express our individual dark-skinned selves without fear
or shame. If white people are pleased we are glad. If
they are not, it doesn’t matter. We know we are
beautiful.”

This source supports my statement because it shows how African Americans during this time such as Langston Hughes were expressing themselves through art and literature. They put out what they want, not caring what the "white people" would think. Today African Americans still express themselves through the arts, the most famous known examples would be through music, such as rap.

Scott Fitzgerald is a perfect example of a writer from this genre and another theme that is common for these authors was the death of the American dream, which is exhibited through many of their novels. 
I chose this source because I think it supports the statement because during the death of the American dream, F. Scott Fitzgerald reminds people not to misinterpret their failures. This compares to how Ellen Degeneres always keeps people positive and smiling even through though times that the contemporary society might be experiencing.

People did not understand or appreciate Carr's new form of expression that emphasized strength, emotion and spiritual beauty in bold bright colors.
This supports my statement by giving an example of Carr's artwork, an example of how she portrays sad emotions through the colors of blue and green. A contemporary society comparison would be music artists because they try to express strong emotions through their art.]]> 2017-11-15 15:55:59 UTC https://padlet.com/emschnoor/tyl2e1eyy74u/wish/207264161
