The Greatest Thing Since Sliced Bread is set upon the backdrop of American politics leading up to 1944. Today in our reading we encountered two people, Roosevelt and Thomas E Dewey.
Research and prepare a short (1 paragraph) biography on both of these people. To focus your research, tailor your biography to the events leading up to the election, and positions that Dewey and Roosevelt stood for.
Again, within the the context of historical fiction, we read another colloquialism, a phrase that has a specific meaning to the context, setting, and "trends" of a community. We can assume that phrases like "selfie," "omgrofllol," and "spamming" have no real connection to 1944, save perhaps spam meat.
What does the phrase "Clear it with Sidney" mean? Remember to use CREST in this response (4-7 sentences), as simply recalling the facts from the book is not enough.
