  3. Radio Nowadays, people don’t listen to the radio as much anymore for information but in the 1930s, the radio was one of the main ways to be aware of national and global events. During the Great Depression, President Franklin Roosevelt’s “fireside chats” on the radio gave Americans hope and allowed them to have faith in the U.S. government. Today, people usually listen to the radio for music although news stations such as 1010 WINS still provide news.

  7. Music Most of the songs we listen to today is about love, loss, regret and pain. By emotionally connecting with lyrics of songs, we are able to portray the same emotions when we have to write our feelings on paper. Some songs are created to help us learn lessons. One such song is Peter WeatherWall’s “Photosynthesis”.
