US History, Thursday November 8th
Chuck turned to the class. He gave them all a very sour look. After all, it was their fault he was there.
“The events leading up to WWII. I mentioned that we wouldn’t be going into WWI. Well, that’s very true. We’re skipping it entirely. But that doesn’t mean that there aren’t still some good events before the second World War. And by good, I mean things that I can write test questions about. So-” he started to write on the board as he talked.
“Prohibition. This was an awful idea. Not because it was a blatant restriction of citizens’ rights, but because it failed. The hush-hush nature of life during prohibition was very trying and hard on the people of America, which is why you might notice that the people who lived during that time tend to look worn-out and elderly.
As we’re on culture, we might as well touch on the greatest American novelist, Earnest Hemmingway. ” He gave the name a healthy underline. “He invented the modern novel, and a better one hasn’t been written since An Elderly Man on the Ocean and The Goodbye to Legs. It’s really tough to show the deep driving emotional forces of completely stoic characters, which is why Hemmingway used liquor and rain in place of real emotion. Few authors have been able to capture his perfect style since.
The “Roaring Twenties” were a time of debauchery and evil, which is why the Stock Market crash soon followed in December 1929. Why? Divine punishment for the creation of the Charleston. It was a terrible, awful dance, and if you try to do it at a party, you will get laughed at!”
Mr. Noblet took a second to calm down before continuing.
“In 1930, the government realized that their country was in deep trouble, and thus was born the historic Hawley-Smoot Tariff.” Chuck wrote the title on the board in big, capital letters.
THE HAWLEY-SMOOT TARIFF.
“If you take one thing away from this class all year, it should be this piece of legislation. It shaped our country, and is now the basis of all our laws. Now, listen closely, and write all of this down. Simply put, the Hawley-Smoot Tariff said-”
The bell rang. Chuck put down the chalk, and wiped the dust off his hands. “Class dismissed.”
[OOC:It'll be up faster than Chuck can jump an art teacher!
That's pretty fast. Up!]
