A Christmas Story Review
Since the Holidays are coming up, I thought I’d review a film which I think is perfectly appropriate for the occasion. And what better title to review than the timeless classic known as “A Christmas Story”? Since this movie was released in the year I was born in, this is yet another film that I’ve known pretty much my whole life. And I have seen this movie at least several times during my childhood. Now, what made this movie so special is that it wasn't really a Christmas story as the title implies, but rather, it was a drama with a few moments of humor here and there. And once you start watching it, you will quickly realize this isn’t your typical Christmas themed movie. It doesn’t revolve around the legend of Santa Claus and the myth about him traveling across the world to bring toys to children. No, this is a more realistic story that tells us that sometimes what we want isn’t really what we need. Originally released November 18th, 1983, this film is set in the 1940s, long before the time of the film's release, and long before digital age which we live in today. Anyway, the story in this film is basically a drama story told in the form of a narration by Ralphie when he has come of age, as he shares his childhood experiences with the audience about what happened to him on that particular day during the Holiday season. And needless to say, it was a Christmas that he would remember for a VERY long time. And let me tell you, this movie sure has left quite an impression on me that lasted for just as long. I watched this movie 30 years ago as a kid. And 30 years later, it’s high time I did a review of it. Though, keep in mind, I haven’t seen this movie in ages despite that I remember very specific parts of it by heart. So forgive me if some or all of these scenes are not in the correct order.

Henry Ford's Idea
Henry Ford was one of the greatest pioneers of American History. He created the Model-T automobile and invented the fast paced assembly line. Henry Ford would go on to drastically change the perspective of industries around the world. His invention of the assembly line and his five-dollar a day wage for the average worker brought about a total new change in factories. Ford’s style and ingenuity helped America to be more prosperous and created a large amount of opulence for America in the early 1900s, all because of one man’s creativity and determination to achieve a dream that would help out the common man and the entire world.

The History of Tobacco in Florida
The scientific name for Tobacco is Nicotiana tabacum, and is in the same family of Solanaceae, which includes tomatoes, peppers and potatoes. Tobacco is characterized by the presence of the alkaloid nicotine which is found in all parts of the plant except the seed. The production of Tobacco has been a staple in Florida’s history and foundation long before the Civil War. Quincy, Florida grew a great deal of what was known as “Speckled leaf tobacco”, a sun variety grown on hammock land. This tobacco was hauled by wagon to the gulf port of St. Marks and transshipped by sailboat, about one-third of the annual yield being exported. This pristine industry reached its end in the Civil War, with only a few believers who were too conservative and stubborn to allow a war to interfere with the accepted order of their lives.
