"The Runaway" by Norman Rockwell



 Create an intro paragraph for the following thesis statement: Rockwell’s “The Runaway” overlooks the fundamental rift that was rising in America throughout the late 1950s – an emerging counter (no pun intended) culture that was not concerned with how things were in America, but rather how they are. 

In the 1950's poilve were beating up african-americans, and it wasn't the best of times, but in Rockewell's "The Runaway" we see a boy who has runaway from home and a police man who is watching over the boy. He isn't mad at the boy and all three men in the picture appear to be satisfied with their lives. This is a piece of nastalgia, for life wasn't this perfect.  Create an intro paragraph for the following thesis statement: Rockwell’s “The Runaway” overlooks the fundamental rift that was rising in America throughout the late 1950s – an emerging counter (no pun intended) culture that was not concerned with how things were in America, but rather how they are.
