//**__Literature__**//  Young writers started to write books about their feeling on the alienation. The people didn’t see the need to be decent anymore they all thought that it was a bunch of nonsense. Writers began to write mostly about sexuality.  i carry your heart with me(i carry it in i carry your heart with me(i carry it in my heart)i am never without it(anywhere i go you go,my dear;and whatever is done by only me is your doing,my darling) i fear no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true) and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you here is the deepest secret nobody knows (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows higher than soul can hope or mind can hide) and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart //e.e. cummings//

During the 1920’s the music was Jazz, also called the Flapper dance.The end of World War One was the start of the history of European "jazz". The newest American fad hit the continent in a matter of months after the November 1918 cease-fire - and by 1919 "jazz" was the “new thing”.To a regular man, "jazz" was much more than just music .The word "jazz" covered everything that was wild, new and modern, particularly in connection with dancing and noisy music effects. Even if jazz hit in a sudden wave after the war, people were prepared for it through knowledge of early American show music, by African American folk music. In the 1920s through the 1940s, "social dancing" was de rigeur, --twinkletoed or gluefooted -- everyone danced. "Dance Bands" (in the modern sense) originated in America during this time.

Foundations of the public Film Industry: Films really became big in the 1920s, expanding upon the foundations of film from earlier years. Most US film production at the start of the decade occurred in or near Hollywood on the West Coast, although some films were still being made in New Jersey and in Astoria on Long Island (Paramount). By the mid-20s, movies were big business with some movie places offering double features. By the end of the decade, there were 20 Hollywood studios, and the demand for films was greater than ever. Most people are unaware that the greatest output of feature films in the US occurred in the 1920s and 1930s (averaging about 800 film releases in a year) - nowadays, it is remarkable when production exceeds 500 films in a year.Throughout most of the decade, silent films were the predominant product of the film industry, having evolved from vaudevillian roots. But the films were becoming bigger (or longer), costlier, and just better all together.

This discovery would eventually earn Fleming and two other scientists, chemist Ernst Boris Chain and pathologist Howard Walter Florey, a Nobel prize in 1945. In 1944, King George had knighted Fleming. Afterwards, he isolated and cultivated it, finding that the mold was deadly to other bacteria as well. Fleming had discovered the world's first antibiotic. In 1929, Fleming published a report on penicillin and its antibacterial characteristics. Aside from the discovery, Fleming did not continue work on the antibiotic. Two other scientists, Ernst Chain and Howard Florey, however, went on to purify penicillin for medical purposes. Alexander Fleming was born on August 6, 1881, in Scotland. He studied at Saint Mary's Hospital Medical School and graduated in 1908. Previous to Fleming's discovery, his research had included tries at slowing and stopping infections. Fleming died of a heart attack on March 11, 1955, in London.
