Prohibition In Springfield
PROHIBITION PART 1
The producers of the Simpsons were successful in portraying the Prohbition during the 1920s in the episode "Prohibition In Springfield". Despite the comical twist in the episode, the ideas brought about by the Prohibition were, for the most part, accurate. Personaly, I enjoyed the episode, finding it both humerous and educational. The episode portrayed the speakeasies accurately. The fact that police also drank during the Prohibition was also accurate; police enjoy drinking just as much as the average American. The bootlegging was depicted well throughout the episode. Lastly, the mobs displayed the anger felt by the Americans reguarding alcohol. Overall, the episode "Prohibition in Springfield" sucessfully portrays the Prohibition in the 1920s.
PROHIBITION PART 2
I would create an episode involving the Flappers because they were an important topic during the 1920s. In my episode I would include the Flappers parading through town trying to make a statement. Each Flapper would be dressed in an etire that is not normally suitable for a woman to wear in the 1920s. The parade would show that women wanted their rights and were free to do what they pleased. Women with short hair, short skirts, and scarfs, wearing a lot of makeup, would show the town they are ready for changes. Incorporating humerous comments, the episode would remain a comedy. After the parade ends the Flappers would go to a speakeasy and drink alcohol with all of the men. Some men would make remarks to their "unlady-like" behaivor. Women began drinking and smoking in public during the 1920s. An episode to demonstrate the lives of the Flappers would lead to an interestig historic comdedy.
