& 177 - Decade: 1920s The Roaring Twenties The pictures 1. A woman wearing the short "bobbed" hair style of the 1920s. For many young women of that era, the style proclaimed that they were breaking away from traditional roles. 2. A drawing of a fancy car of the 1920s, suggesting the fast life of the Prohibition era. 3. Charles Lindbergh, the famous aviator who flew the Atlantic Ocean alone in a small plane. The feat won him instant celebrity and seemed to many a symbol of the American spirit. 4. A drawing made after the stock market crash of 1929. The figure - perhaps representing a business owner or banker - is trying to prop up a business about to fall. The falling buildings in the background convey the fact that many businesses were unstable and in danger of collapse. The vocabulary terms A glossary for the vocabulary terms can be found with the link near the top of this section's main index page.
