Forty years later, the pink flamingo would take over the lawns and homes of Americas in a mere year. Jennifer Price talks about the flamingo in a satirical way while using precise word choice and metaphors along with ironic but scientific details and also a repetitive placement of words which are strengthened by distinctive punctuation in her essay “The Plastic Pink Flamingo: A Natural History” to convey her opinion of the American culture as a commercially dominated business that will adopt any ridiculous trend in order to make a profit. Price’s diction strengthens her argument of a commercially dominated nation by comparing and describing the American public as a flock of birds that fly to any trend that is synonymous with wealth no matter the ridiculousness. Miami was and still is to this day a very popular and trendy vacation destination that Price said Americans “had been flocking to” since the 1930s. Price’s uses of a verb associated normally with the movement of birds rather than using a word like traveled shows how dominated she thinks the public is by cultural trends.

In 1963 The Beatles had their first number one song in the UK, one year later they toured Australia which attracted thousands and thousands of fans, they attracted so many fans that they began a craze which was names Beatlemania.The Beatles were so popular and known worldwide that even toys and TV masks began selling The Beatles toys, they even produced and sold Beatles wings.

Rock 'n' roll swept onto Australian shores in 1955 with the release of Bill Haley's hit song Rock Around the Clock. Originating in America, this new style fused black American rhythm and blues music with the white-dominated country and western genre. Rock 'n' roll was fast, rhythmic and exciting, and audiences loved it. Young Australians gathered in dance halls dressed in the latest rock 'n' roll fashions and performed dances like the jitterbug and the boogie-woogie. Elvis
As it states in the Nelson Adkins’ placket; “Tracer is one of the 79 silk-screened paintings Rauschenberg produced between 1963 and 1964, whose imagery is derived from everyday sources of information – photographs, newspapers and magazines. Tracer alludes to the Vietnam War by incorporating American symbols of patriotism and war – army helicopters and a bald eagle”. This is why I was immediately attracted to it. The combination of beauty (the Venus at Her Toilet ca. 1613-15), urban street scene, and the chaos/patriotism of the Vietnam War was amazing.
