blog post # 3

my family members do share some old stories one is about a deceased family member of my moms side of the family I do believe it was her grandma or her aunt but anyways it is told the she created the method to get smoke out of your eyes if you are around a camp fire that you should say I HATE RABBITS and i guess it is supposed to remove the smoke from your eyes and blow in the other direction.It is also told that my mom and her sibblings would go jumping off of bridges into the water and go boonie hocking  peoples houses and pulling practical jokes on old freinds and family members during their childhood.In 50 years i may share stories from my childhood and years in school such as being ambushed by 2-3 cats that decided to scratch my foot two times after I had just fed them food(laugh out loud) and got attacked while i was trying to put my shoes on.

blog #2

I found the harlem renaissance (The jazz Age or the roaring twenties) and modernism aswell as the contemporary or postmodernism  very interesting because the roaring twenties reminds me of the great elaborate fashion and "daring" attempts of the day between the  1920s-1940s.I  found modernism very interesting because it spans from 1900-1950 which has many different events that went on such as ww1 and ww2  the great depression many other important events happened during this time span there is too many to list. .aswell as big fashion risks. law breaking attempts in very secrective areas such as underground "clubs".many memorable things happened in the 20s such the new flapper dress and the new jazz tunes many of the music of the day inspired the way of living in the 1920s .I found the contemporary or postmodernism many events took place  such the korean war vietnam war iraq war.
