Famous People from the 1950s !

( Katrina's Questions! ) - Why did you pick the topic? I picked this topic because it seems extremely interesting and like one of the easier topics to research. People from back then that were famous are still known today.

- What do you want to know about the topic? About this topic I’d like to know how famous people now a days are treated compared to them back then and see the differences.

- What did you find most interesting about the topic? The most interesting thing about my topic is finding out information on famous people from back then. It’s weird to see how much of an impact they have on society today, the way people look at others, the music choices. The music choices back then were much more settled and quiet, not as rowdy. Music today is everything mixed together. In my opinion people defeat the purpose of different genres, like in the 1950’s things were specific. Now a days you can’t really tell the difference that well.

- What do you want to share with the class? I’d like to share with the class that the thing most important back in the 1950’s is Elvis Presley, he helped develop how music is today. And also Harry Truman’s role as the president.

It takes times and dedication to do the things that they have done and they practice day in and day out until becoming known to the world.
