The affect of Elvis


Watching that documentary on Elvis made me realize that he had a huge affect on the world. Mostly he affect women because he basically told them that it was ok to move their bodies a certain. Elvis made women crazy about him, and it wasn't just his good looks that attracted women to him. He made the women comfortable in their own bodies and with their sexuality. Back in those days women weren't supposed to be crazy and moving their bodies a certain they were supposed to be calm and prepare for raising children. Elvis made a huge generation gap because the elders were opposed to Elvis' soulful music and the way he rebelled against authority. He not only made in difference in many teenage girls, but also made a difference in music. Elvis was the first man to sing soulful blues which some songs were written by black artists. This was a big deal because this was when the world was segragated by color. All Elvis ever heard was the music that the artists composed. It seemed like to him nothing else matter but the music.

Cassandra-

I also think its cool how music could change a whole country and how Elvis overall relaxed America and changed our values, morals, and how we dress and act. He gave the youth and women power and showed that its okay to rebel!
