Party like the 1920's

Think 1920's ! what's the first thing that comes to mind ? BINGO the PARTIES ! I means let alone the the formation of Jazz , votes for women and the fashion , who is going to forget the reckless dancing and drinking .
There was music from my neighbor’s house through the summer nights. In his blue gardens men and girls came and went like moths among the whisperings and the champagne and the stars. At high tide in the afternoon I watched his guests diving from the tower of his raft, or taking the sun on the hot sand of his beach while his two motor-boats slit the waters of the Sound, drawing aquaplanes over cataracts of foam. On week-ends his Rolls-Royce became an omnibus, bearing parties to and from the city between nine in the morning and long past midnight, while his station wagon scampered like a brisk yellow bug to meet all trains.
To throw a party like Gatsby here's a few tips :
1) Free drinks is the number one most important thing ... put some ice and a lemon at the side and your good to go , old sport ! In the 1920's alcohol was prohibited , so remember to get the party going you need champagne(some “mock tails” for all of us under 21) ! - Good luck finding that old sport.
2) wear your red lipstick ,  black dress and 6 inch heels... Its the 1920's , it's all free spirited . YOLO 
3) invite lots of people who know nothing about you , but just want to have a good time . Hey at least the whole town is know talking about your parties 
4) Jazz music is a must - they didn't call it the jazz age for nothing . 
5)Don't forget to send the guests with something to remember e.g a black and white photograph of their time.

Well thats the end of it , im sure Gatsby himself would be proud !

Which is worse, failing or never trying?



In my opinion failing is better than never trying . Failure teachers us how to improve and makes us mature , whilst never trying gets us nowhere. Sometimes we give up before we even start to even attempt to reach our dreams because we are afraid of failure , but let me ask you something what would happen if we never tried ?
If we never tried technology would have never developed , think about Steve Jobs... I know you all love your iPhone's , well imagine if he never tried , we'd still be stuck with our brick phones :(
If we never try we will just be stuck thinking 'what if ' and be holding a grudge against ourselves because we didn't seize that opportunity .

The Roaring Twenties !

roar·ing (rĂ´rng, rr-)adj.1. Very lively or successful; thriving: a roaring trade.2. Used as an intensive: roaring drunk. roaring·ly adv.

Original cover of The Great Gatsby, one of the most famous novels of the ’20s and a literary classic.

The Roaring Twenties was an age of vast cultural, social, and political change. 
Broadway was a type of entertainment . 
It is said that the Roaring Twenties were labelled so due to its outlandish traits of recklessness, irresponsibility, and materialist ideas, and that these traits sparked the change of many storylines of productions. People no longer wrote about old traditional stories, they were now full of degenerate ideas such as greed, lust, incest . 

During the Twenties all the rules of writing were rebelled against and so they started to write more freely . Some of the famous authors of the 1920's were : F. scott Fitzgerald , T.S.Elliot , William Faulker and many more . 



What do you like about the 1920's ?
