Creative/Literary Nonfiction

I am going to add the Creative/Literary Nonfiction Hang 'Em High by Phillip Gerard to my Anthology.

          "It was back in the days when every little boy in America owned a toy six-gun and our national character was formed in half-hour TV episodes."

I find this example of creative/literary nonfiction meaningful because the children of today's society are polar opposite to the children of the baby boomer generation. The children of today's society are so dependent on technology and the children of the baby boomer generation had only television and not much to choose from. They had to use their imagination more often and played outside. This exemplifies the slow downfall of society. Children do not play the way they used to. They have become co-dependent of technology to entertain them and have slowly drifted away from their imagination and virtually their own independence.
