Discuss the impact of television on myth, legend, and folklore. Is the impact a positive one or a negative one? Are stories told on TV our future myths, legends, and folklore? You explored several methodologies about the study of myth. None of the people who came up with these methodologies are alive today. What method would you come up with to study the myths, folklore, and legends that have evolved in the eighteenth through the twentieth centuries? American literary scholar Richard Altick, in his book A Preface to Critical Reading, said, “In the latter part of the 20th century, it is hard for us to realize how important a part mythology played in the imagination of writers and readers down through the ages. The gods and goddesses of Olympus, the heroes of ancient legend were as familiar to the people who created the literature of the western world as popular movie stars are to us. Their names had the power to evoke rich emotions, which sprang from the recollection of the wondrous stories in which these figures participated. Unless the modern reader can somehow re-create for herself the emotional experience a mythological reference brought to readers in earlier generations, her reading of non-contemporary literature will lack much of the pleasure and understanding it would otherwise possess.” Discuss this statement. Without an understanding of myth, can we fully understand and appreciate noncontemporary literature? If we can’t, then how can myth, legend, and folklore stay alive? Does it need to, or can we survive as a culture without it?

ok so u have2 basically

                the united states presidential election of 1912 was the 32nd quadrennial presidential election, held on tuesday, november 5, 1912. the election was a rare four-way contest.

                incumbent president william howard taft was renominated by the republican party with the support of its conservative wing. after former president theodore roosevelt failed to receive the republican nomination, he called his own convention and created the progressive party (nicknamed the "bull moose party"). it nominated roosevelt and ran candidates for other offices in major states. democrat woodrow wilson was finally nominated on the 46th ballot of a contentious convention, to the support of william jennings bryan, the three-time democratic presidential candidate who still had a large and loyal following in 1912. eugene v. debs, running for a fourth time, was the nominee of the socialist party of america.

                wilson won the election, gaining a large majority in the electoral college and winning 42% of the popular vote, while roosevelt won 27%, taft 23% and debs 6%. wilson became the only elected president from the democratic party between 1892 and 1932, and the second of only two democrats to be elected president between 1860 and 1932. this was the last election in which a candidate who was not a republican or democrat came second in either the popular vote or the electoral college, and the first election in which all 48 states of the contiguous united states participated.

hope this !
