Issue test2
“The media (books, film, music, television, for example) tend to create rather than reflect the values of a society.”
呃…这几天写了几个提纲，所以看到下面这篇文，最大的感触是作者对相关材料的透彻理解，例子信手拈来，丝毫不感到犹豫，给人一种一拍脑门的快感啊！下面待我分析之。

For our grandparents it occurred through films and books. 开头第一句话就把我镇住了，因为他(她？)提到了祖父这一带人的事情。要不就是一个美国人，要不就是对美国文化有过较为深入的了解，才能在开头抛出这么一句话。
For the baby boomers it was a result of television and revolutionary music. 第二句话又当场把我雷倒了，此雷非彼雷(新华社健康操)也，我是被作者再一次镇住了。就是因为baby boomers这个词，google了一下发现是指1946~1964年出生的人，试想没有一定时间的积累，如何能在考场上给出这么精确这么american的词语呢？
No matter how the impact took place, it is clear that since its very advent, the media have played a crucial role in not simply being representative of the values of our society but creating them as well.第一段落中给出自己的观点
During the roaring twenties Americans found themselves in a struggle between the old ways of their ancestors and the new ways of the future.仍然是像前面所说的，对美国的历史较为了解，roaring这个词用得很棒
The once steadfast beliefs that men and women should not touch while dancing, and that ladies should not drink or smoke were suddenly being challenged. 前面叙述完一个观点，马上给例子
From where was all this rebellion stemming?用提问的形式给出引出自己的观点，这两个词语的用法学到了
Partly it was due to the returning doughboys from the shores of Europe bringing home revolutionary ideas they had encountered while at war.为了避免自己的观点偏颇，多方面来叙述原因
Nonetheless, returning soldiers could not be held responsible for the social upheaval that America experienced.接着把前面的原因压下去，真正地原因在后头。
There had to be another cause, and there was, the media.如官方评论所言，这句话强调的恰到好处
Although the films of the era were silent they spoke volumes to the society for which they were created.提出观点马上举例子(film, a kind of media)。这里提到了一个默片时代，虽然我也算是个影迷吧，但在GRE作文考试里直接利用电影来作为论证，我还差了些功力啊
Women in these movies wore their hemlines a few inches shorter than the decade before them and they wore cosmetics to accentuate their new bobbed haircuts.对美国文化深入了解的又一体现，连女性开放年代的特征都记得这么清楚
The movies, as well as the books of that era, demonstrated a new materialistic attitude that America had never before experienced.举完例子开始展开分析
Films portrayed every character as having the money to buy a new car, drink, smoke and partake in the leisure’s of life, a philosophy that was soon adopted by the youth of the decade.接着分析
The use of the media in the twenties was to serve as a catalyst for the revolutionary ideas that were circulating.前后呼应，强调媒体对twenties的影响
The films and books of that era sped America along its path of change that eventually led to the greatest social unrest that the United States had ever known.总结句
Unlike the twenties, the sixties and seventies utilized the media in a way that appealed to those searching for truth in a lost and confused world.从grandparents那一代人转向baby boomer. Unlike在这里作为过渡连词
Martin Luther King Jr. realized the impact of the media on society during his campaign for civil rights.大家都知道金博士，但谁能想到把他用到这儿和媒体扯上关系呢？
King urged his followers to withstand any abuse that they might encounter because the media will take their peacefulness into the homes of their society.将前面的例子展开分析
By doing so, King successfully began to change the traditional view of race. Americans began to sympathize with the protesters because of the undeserved turmoil they faced at the hands of the government.接着分析例子
As a result, America relinquished the Jim Crow laws and saw many other groups press for their individual rights as well.一个体现作者功力的地方，Jim Crow Laws，在场有谁能够看到这个词马上把意思说出来的，更不用说在考试中没有一个拼写错误的将其用上。整个例子一起呵成，从提出到逐渐发展到最后的结果，顺理成章
Television cameras rolled as Cesar Chavez organized the migrant workers in California and as Bella Abzug and Gloria Steinham linked arms to protest the lack of women’s rights.听听这些人名，我刚上网查了一下，不是杜撰的哦。我不知道这些人在美国的地位是跟鲁迅在中国一样还是咋地，小弟我是服了。
While the media helped to shape some attitudes about racism and gender it also helped to uncover the truth behind government lies.还准备接着展开论述媒体的强大…
During the Nixon
第一次在太傻发不是”谢谢”、”顶”之类的帖子，战战兢兢点下鼠标。
读完整篇文章，觉得很畅快。为什么？因为作者并没有用上许多复杂的长句或者出奇的结构什么的，除了一些名词、人名，句子基本上都是很容易让人读懂的类型。另外一个原因就是给篇文章强大的气场，每个例子的运用都是那么的恰到好处，让人读起来很有气势的感觉。就像一开始说的，最近开始写提纲有时候想举例子脑袋就跟卡壳了似的，所以看到这篇文章敬佩之情格外的多。当然，这都是来源于作者平常深厚的文化积累，像原文中标注的一些词，能这么流畅的用在考场上，小弟我还得加把劲啊~~~
