in the year 1954, the United States was changing rapidly. President Eisenhower, a Republican, was in the midst of his first term. Eisenhower had just announced to the world that the United States had in fact developed and successfully tested the first hydrogen bomb some two years prior. Mamie Eisenhower christened the Nautilus, which was the first submarine to run on nuclear power. The great court decision, “Brown vs. the Board of Education,” called for the integration of the country’s public schools
The 1954 CIA Coup in Guatemala The 1954 coup that deposed the democratically elected government of Guatemala has long been acknowledged to have been the result of CIA covert action. Recently declassified documents have shown a new, and more sinister light, on the CIA's involvement in an action that gave birth to some of the most brutally dictatorial regimes in modern history. No one at this point will dispute the original involvement, but there are still those who maintain that this is all water
Staging of An Inspector Calls on the Reaction of the Audience The way a play is staged is very important to how the audience views the story and the characters. We have studied 3 versions of 'An Inspector calls'. The original 1946 production, 1954 film version and the 1992 Royal National Theatre production. I will take each of these in turn and see how they are staged differently and how this affects the audience's perception of the characters. The first production I will look at is
docks of Hoboken, New Jersey. The specific elements within the film, such as supporting characters, surrounding environment, and outfit selection are carefully utilized in order to constantly support Terry’s self-perception as the plot develops. The 1954 film On The Waterfront, demonstrates the reoccurring theme of importance of individual integrity in a corrupt society through character development, narrative structure, and costume employed through mise-en-scéne. The character of Terry Malloy, portrayed
MILLERSBURG — Enabling the county to get a jump start on the construction season, Holmes County Engineer Chris Young said he will use a low-interest loan to pay for the first year of a five-year plan to resurface county roads, funding for which was approved by voters in the form of a 0.25 percent sales tax. Although approved in November, collection of the additional tax does not begin until Saturday, and the engineer's office would not receive its first disbursement until July. Consequently, Young
The Geneva Accords in 1954 was known as an agreement that designed to secure peace in Vietnam, and it was also contributed to the war as well. Naturally, when they agreed to sign, it meant the southern and northern regions would be divided by the 17th parallel, French would withdraw its troops from Indochina. Besides, in 1956, the plans for elections would be held for the Vietnamese people to choose a unified government. According to what I found, the battle at Dien Bien Phu to the Conference was
However, In 1954 a group of nine African American students had the courage to face any threat received by the white students and the state governor to enroll in the Little Rock Central High School. Those nine students were not alone because they had several leaders such as W. du Bois who taught them how to react or resist against the treatment they will receive. They should not react or fight back. Orval Faubus who were the governor of the State of Arkansas at that time gave the order to keep
The book Animal Farm and the 1954 film version both have the same story line of animals taking over and running a farm, but there are significant differences between the two. The two main differences that stood out to me were the ability of the animals to speak in the book versus the film, and the ending of the film in a rebellion. These differences not only have an influence on the story, but also how the story ends. One of the most noticeable differences between the book and the film was
RIP American Motors: 1954-87 In the early 1900's, automobile manufacturing was a growing business. Independent automakers such as Auburn, Hudson, Nash, and Studebaker served a focused market, catering to small car drivers, not covered by the "Big Three" makers: Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler. Many of these independent automakers saw their last days during the Great Depression. After World War II, there was just a handful left. American Motors was formed by the merger of two of these
The Fear of Communism in the Years of 1945 to 1954 After world war two there was a steady build up of tension between the United States of America and the Soviet Union, which grew to such a level that the hostility grew to just short of military action. This period, known as the cold war was a large factor in causing the paranoia over communism in the USA. The Soviet Union was a communist country and historically America had always opposed communism. It was also clear that the USA- USSR
Reasons Why French Left Vietman in 1954 In 1939, Vietnam was part of a French indo-china. This area was Laous, Cambodia and Vietnam. This area was all part of the French empire in the 19th century. The French colonial rule was barely resisted by the people of Vietnam but this harsh rule led to growing anti-colonial feeling. Working conditions in factories were very poor. Peasant farmers struggled with high taxes and the use of
States. Ever since the 1870's, the Court had been eviscerating the congressional legislation and constitutional amendments that had been established at the height of Reconstruction to protect some of the basic citizenship rights of black people. 1954 was a new time and more than tears and words were needed. Just about everyone that was black and alive at the time realized that the long, hard struggles, led by the NAACP, had forced the Supreme Court to take a major stand on the side of justice
In 1954, William Golding published the highlight of his career, The Lord of the Flies. The Lord of the Flies demonstrates the depraved nature of humankind by telling the tale of a group of boys stranded on a desert island. After a tragic plane crash, the boys come to realize that they are the only survivors, and begin organizing to build shelters, find food and water, and signal for help. Led by a boy named Ralph, the boys soon build a signal fire and establish a routine for civilized life away from

For Aphasia was created in 1954 by John Eisenson in New York (Eisenson, 1954). It was one of the first tests for assessing language impairment (Benson & Ardila, 1996) and provides a guided approach for evaluating language disturbances and other disturbances closely related to language function (Eisenson, 1954).

Brown v. Board of Education: A Slow Yet Significant Step Towards Equality On May 17, 1954, in the landmark court case of Brown v. Board of Education, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously outlawed racial segregation in public schools. The court decision, in light of the continual endeavor of African Americans to ban racial segregation, came hardly surprising. Still, the prohibition of school segregation stirred up hot debates throughout the country and was met with strong opposition, violence, and

marshes today, so they will make a fine mess over her poor carpets like all the menfolk do. She rattles on cheerfully about the scarcity of birds, and the prospects for duck in the winter. To Framton it is all purely horrible (Aldrich, & Marjorie, 1954). Framton makes a desperate but only partially successful effort to turn the talk on to a less ghastly topic, he is conscious that his hostess is giving him only a fragment of her attention, and her eyes are constantly straying past him to the open
