DRAMATIC

                                                             

    All of the actors in the movie "war horse" wore believable costumes to fit their personality and the character they were acting. The movie took place in France where they fought in the war. The actors were amazing they were all good at their part they took place in. I actually believed that Albert really cared about the horse. Although the little girl who found joey when he ran off with this black horse that i think he really likes, she really wasn't a good actor I didn't believe that she really wanted the horse. She looked like she didn't care but the grandfather looks like he really cared about the little girl.

prohibitation

                 Prohibition is defined as the act of forbidding something, especially by law. Prohibition had greatly impacted the alcohol brewing business when alcohol was banned. during that time there were many bootleggers, which were people who sold alcohol illegally without registration or payment of taxes. There were also many speakeasy's which were saloon's or nightclubs that sold alcoholic beverages illegally. Which I don't really blame them because there are people that make a living off of selling alcohol and for it to be banned takes away so many peoples money income. During post- prohibition only half of the breweries that had been open reopened.
