slang 1920s prohibition

shared by Erin G on 01 Aug 11 - No Cached

It was a very contradicting era as prohibition became the new law, woman gained the right to vote, and “talkies” first entered the entertainment scene.
...

Cancel
People, especially young people, began expressing themselves with slang. Many phrases and terms of the 1920s are still used by people today, with examples like, “sweetheart,” “baby,” “dolled up,”
...

Cancel
Considering this was the time of prohibition, many slang terms often reflected alcohol, drinking, and having a good time, especially since prohibition outlawed all of these things.

Dumbing Down 'Gatsby' - Teaching Now - Education Week Teacher - 0 views

shared by Erin G on 01 Aug 11 - No Cached

But book blogger Jessica Crispin thinks Ebert is overreacting. She argues that students shouldn't necessarily be deprived of a "universal" storyline just because the prose is over their heads. Besides, she says, this sort of thing has been going on for decades, with little known harm done to aspiring readers. She recalls reading young readers' adaptations of Great Expectations and A Tale of Two Cities when she was a kid
- Erin G on 01 Aug 11
  
  I can see both sides here: I think that great American novels are works of art that should not be "dumbed down" or modified just so that people intimated by the difficult prose can know the story. However, I think for children reading abridged or modified versions of classics get introduced to the themes and stories in a friendly way. As Cripsin later says, this never discouraged her from reading the "real" version later when she was ready.
