World War I Roaring 20s—period of good times, economic prosperity during the 1920s Jazz Age—name given to 1920s by Fitzgerald because of the music of the time period Prohibition—made alcohol sale and consumption illegal Bootlegging—the illegal sale of alcohol Speakeasies—the illegal bars, basements, pharmacies where alcohol could be purchased/consumed Flappers—daring, confident women of the time period with their short skirts and “bobbed” hair

Great Depression—period of money troubles and economic uncertainty following stock market crash of 1929 Modernism—break away from the literary forms of the past and experiment with new topics, techniques, etc. Imagism—focus and describe a single object in poetry so that reader can “see” mental picture of it Harlem Renaissance—long overdue recognition for the artistic contributions (art, literature, music) of African Americans and other minorities
