     Edward Fitzgerald failed as a manufacturer of wicker furniture in St.

    Paul, and he became


    a salesman for Procter & Gamble in upstate New York.
     Fitzgerald attended the St. Paul Academy; his first writing to appear in print was a
    detective story in the school newspaper when he was thirteen.

    Three major events that occurred in 1922;

     The British empire rule


     Joseph Stalin is appointed General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Soviet
    Communist Party.
     The Ottoman Empire is abolished after 600 years

    The right that women gained from the passage of the 19th Amendment;

     That women were allowed to vote (the women suffrage movement)

    All of those songs bring thought of;

     Movies back then with the music and dancing...


     Time of date when i wasn't around.
     Music being played live and or on record players.
     Guys and dolls musical

    Major influences on his life and writing;

    18th Amendment
    World War 1
    Automobiles
     Bee's Knees - An extraordinary person, thing, idea
     Cheaters - Eyeglasses
     Keen - Attractive or appealing
     Speakeasy - An illicit bar selling bootleg liquor
     Stuck On - Having a crush on

    Prohibition

    The Great Gatsby


    The Flapper poem
    Louise Brooks

     The 18th amendment abolishes;


     The manufacture, sale, and transportation of alcohol
    F. Scott Fitzgerald
    My impression of Rothstein did not change because what he was at the start led to what he was
    at the end where he ended up losing a bunch of that money, that he previously owned.
    The result was that;

     During the period Pro-Prohibitionist forces were weakened by infighting and well-funded
    and media backed Anti-prohibitionists eventually managed to gain the political
    momentum to repeal the amendment

    By. F. Scott Fitzgerald


    Interesting points:

     When Prohibition ended so did his untouchable status. Always a gambler at heart, Arnold
    lost over three hundred and twenty thousand dollars combined to a cadre of Californian
    gamblers . On the other page it just said the beginning of his career-- this one shows the
    end and his consequence.

    The Roaring Twenties


    Slang Terms
    They popped up around the country because, back then everyone thought it was socially
    acceptable to drink alcohol everywhere in public...
    Louise brooks also fits the profile of flapper Jane. she is pretty and she wears dresses like her.
    Three major innovations that came out of the WWI experience;
    - Auto mobiles
    -speakeasy/blind big (an establishment that illegally sells alcoholic beverages)
    - Flappers ('new breed' of young woman
    Interesting Points;

     He lost interest in school when he was 16 and decided to drop out. Interesting because-
    he was so young when he dropped out! he probably thought school was boring (during
    that period of time).
     At age 20, he went to work for himself booking bets on horse races, baseball games,
    elections and prize fights. Interesting because he probably wanted to become rich
    instead of become smart at that younger age.
     Received his nickname, “The Big Bankroll,” because he always insisted on carrying a
    huge bankroll of $100 bills. Interesting because he wanted to be able to immediately
    finance any deals he made; to show that he was 'rich'

    Ms. Parker doesn't like the flappers because of the ways that they act.
    -Her girlish ways may make a stir
    - but her control
    Is something else again.
    All spotlights focus on her pranks.
    Cars were considered "the most important catalyst for social change in the 1920's" because
    - Many women used the cars to save time in their daily domestic chores -- in turn giving them
    more free time, in which they could educate themselves, or find a job.
    - The younger generations loved the car as an escape from the chaperones.
    - Businessmen, possessing a faster, more personal form of transportation, could live farther from
    the city and subway stops.
    Organized Crime and Arnold Rothstein

    Flappers
    A speakeasy (also called a blind pig or blind tiger), is an establishment that illegally sells alcoholic
    beverages.
    The essential elements of being a true flapper are:

     This Jane, being 19, is a flapper, though she urgently denies that she is a member of the
    younger generation. The younger generation, she will tell you, is aged 15 to 17.
     She is, for one thing, a very pretty girl. Beauty is the fashion in 1925.
     to weigh two pounds.
     Jane's haircut is also abbreviated.

    19th Amendment

     The dominant postwar American attitudes and the major movements of the 1920's;
     Society was lacking in idealism and vision
     Sense of personal alienation
     Americans were obsessed with materialism and outmoded moral values

    Prohibition and organized crime


    With the advent of Prohibition, Rothstein saw the opportunities for business; he diversified
    into bootlegging and narcotics. Liquor was brought in by smuggling along the Hudson River,
    as well as from Canada across the Great Lakes and into upstate New York. Rothstein also
    purchased holdings in a number of speakeasies.
    With his banking support, and high-level political connections, Rothstein soon managed to
    end-run Tammany Hall to the street gangs. Subsequently, his criminal organization included
    such underworld notables as Meyer Lansky, Jack "Legs" Diamond, Charles "Lucky" Luciano,
    and Dutch Schultz, whose combined gangs and double-dealing with their own respective
    bosses subverted the entire late 19th century form of political gangsterism. Rothstein's
    various nicknames were Mr. Big, The Fixer, The Man Uptown, The Big Bankroll and The
    Brain.
    Rothstein frequently mediated differences between the New York gangs and reportedly
    charged a hefty fee for his services. His favorite "office" was Lindy's, at Broadway and 49th
    Street in Manhattan. He often stood on the corner surrounded by his bodyguards and did
    business on the street. Rothstein made bets and collected debts from those who had lost the
    previous day Meanwhile, he exploited his role as mediator with the city's legitimate business
    world and soon forced Tammany Hall to recognize him as a necessary ally in its running of
    the city. Many historians credit him as the first successful modern drug dealer.
    By 1925, Rothstein was one of the most powerful criminals in the country, and had forged a
    large criminal empire. For a time he was the largest bootlegger in the nation, until the rise
    of George Remus. With a reported wealth of over $10 million (which is worth roughly $125
    million in 2016 dollars) Rothstein was one of the wealthiest gangsters in US history, and is
    widely considered to be one of the founding fathers of organized crime in the United States.
