Jennifer Price’s use of strong diction clearly reveals how the phenomenon reflects popular cultures of America in the 1950s. The essay opens up with how the flamingo "splashed into the fifties," creating a sense of enthusiasm (line 1). The sudden splash of the pink flamingo into the fifties is a result of America’s capitalistic nature. Previously, the flamingo had been “hunted…to extinction” for in the 1800s; however, one century later, Americans are enshrining the plastic, pink version (line 14). This reveals the collective thinking of the American mind, as it seems that the only thing the mind is able to do is think about what the new "it" item is.
This scene takes place about an hour into the film. The director’s intention with this scene was to show the second task Ofelia had to complete and to set up the conflict between Ofelia and the underworld. This film was made in 2006, where special effects were high tech and very realistic. This is reflected in the film and how heavily it relies on fantasy effects such as fairies and the Pale Man. It is highly regarded for its fantastic special affects use, winning an Academy Award for “Best Achievement in Makeup” among others.
Though there are some beneficial events, it was an overall devastating era. After the war of 1812, the people of the United States felt enormous pride in winning a war against the almighty Britain and used their nationalism to inspire improvements, such as Henry Clay’s American system. It consisted of the Second National Bank, a strong banking system, the Tariff of 1816, which raised money for the protection of American manufacturing goods, and internal improvements such as networks that build roads and canals which made better transportation to flow foodstuffs and raw materials from west and south to north and east. This shows that America had become a more self-sufficient government and started growing its own national identities. Nationalism also helped the push for westward expansion and the Monroe Doctrine.
In this essay I will be talking about the differences in the issues the story deals with, the characters of each story, as well as the musical differences. Spring Awakening, which opened on Broadway in 2006, takes place in late-19th century Germany. Although it is set in a different time and place, most of the issues dealt with in this show are very relatable to teens of today such as, sexuality, abortion, rape, child abuse, and suicide. All of these issues are clearly stated in the show without having to look at another meaning behind them. On the other hand, Wicked, which opened on Broadway in 2003, deals with the issues of magical powers and the fine line of good and evil.
There are many events which highlight the importance of this policy no more so than the first and second Moroccan crisis. This event pronounced German military strength as the gunboat panther moored off the coast of Agadir during a minor revolt in French colony of Morocco. Consequently Germany was given land in Congo in order to pacify the growing state. He goes on to say ‘ as early as 1906, Germany had in place a plan for an aggressive war’ which suggests that Germany had planned for war in order to secure assets such as ‘lebensraum’ which would satisfy the desire of the growing pan German movement and raw materials which would satisfy the desire of the ever growing Industrial machine.

Then, after McKinley declared war upon the Spanish in 1889, America could use imperialism to gain land and power in the world. America declared war on Spain in April 1889, not to gain land, but to assist Cuba in gaining its independence. Only later into the war, it realized how it can benefit through imperialism. The newly acquired land increased America’s resources and gave them new countries to trade with and worked as an advantage for the U.S. military as well. Turner believed that the idea of the frontier shaped the American being and their characteristics.
Japan’s industrialized economy needed resources, which Japan believed they could obtain through the same methods of imperialism. Japan would use the same military might as exhibited by Europe and America but would control not only the governments of these countries but the people as well. The indigenous people of these regions would suffer due to the greed of the great powers and eventually gain a greater since of nationalism needed to overthrow their aggressors. India Britain took control of India after defeating France and the Indian government during the eighteenth century. India was considered the “jewel in the crown” of the British Empire.
