Simpsons Blog Assignment

Part 1:

Knowing the Simpsons it would be an accurate assumption to think they would blow something like prohibition way out of proportion. This, however, was not the case in their episode of prohibition in Springfield. The producers of the Simpsons actually included many historically accurate facts such as mafia paying off cops and speakeasies, as well as their fair share of comedic relief like beer exploding. Some elements of life in the 1920's were portrayed well such as people smuggling beer and cops disobeying the law of prohibition. OF course i liked this episode, it's the Simpsons, who wouldn't!

Part 2:
Instead of the FBI agent beating up random people on the street and overlooking Homer because of it, perhaps:

As the FBI agent beats up people on the street in order to find a clue about the Beer Baron, he actually notices Homer, but something catches his eye. He runs by Homer screaming "STOP YOU FLAPPERS!!" It turns out to be a couple of ducks NOT wearing long pants and he arrests them.

Should true Americans have to give up personal freedoms during a time of war?

Should true Americans give up their personal freedoms during a time of war? Well the answer is in the question. A true American is someone who believes in freedom for everyone all of the time no matter what. If someone who thinks freedom is one of the most important things in life, then they would be hypocritical if they would give it up. During a time of war, what most soldiers are trying to protect IS freedom, so why should they fight for something that is no longer being practiced in their own country?

Spaniards destroy U.S.S Maine!!

Yesterday, February 15th 1898, citizens of Havan Harbor were startled by a sound of a terrible explosion. The U.S.S Maine exploded in a great ball of fire just off the coast of the Havan Harbor. Speculations show that Spainiards tampered with bombs on the Maine and caused the explosion. Two hundred and eighty six American men lost their lives in the explosion and there are only eighty nine survivors. Mckinley states that the Spanish used explosives to detonate the Maine meaning to kill everyone onboard. Rumors of a war are starting to brew here in America to avenge the innocent sailors who lost their lives. "Remember the Maine, to Hell with Spain!"
