"All Shook Up" Chapter #3 and "Fever" Chapter #1
As I was reading "All Shook Up" I thought it was really interesting how people saw rock and roll as something that was making teenagers attractive to each other. I was thinking that parents were making their children act that way. They would get paranoid about the music and would tell their children not to listen to it. They even had some song removed from the market because of the lyrics. It is like telling a little kid not to do something the more you tell them the more they want to do it. I always thought it was weird how for the T.V show American Bandstand had the kids dress in a certain way and how they couldn't wear shorts. I think that people from before crossed the line. I mean it is only normal for two people to be attractive to each other. Dick Clark fired a person when he told the girl he liked what he felt. Furthermore in the book "Fever" I found it interesting how people from the past have shaped a lot of people today. They have also creating change and people follow their foot prints.

Good point. A lot of times telling someone not to do something gets the opposite result.
ReplyDelete* ... to be attracted (not "attractive") to each other
* "footprints" is one word
