Preston Sturges and the Great Moment
Preston Sturges began work on a film about William Morton's discovery of anesthesia based on a 1938 biography. Sturges convinced the studio to let him write the script after another version fell through. Sturges was attracted to Morton's story as a man who helped mankind but suffered personally. However, when released in 1944 as The Great Moment after much editing by the studio, it was a box office failure and damaged Sturges' career. The film remains an important cultural artifact as the only Hollywood movie about the discovery of anesthesia.

Francisco Franco and Adolf Hitler are portrayed as posting on social media about their friendship and alliance as dictators, though in reality they had little respect for each other.

The boy who dared
Helmuth Hübener was a 17-year-old German living in Hamburg during World War 2. He initially supported Hitler but began to question the Nazi party as people's rights were taken away. Helmuth listened to illegal radio broadcasts and distributed flyers against Hitler to inform people of what the government was hiding. However, a frightened acquaintance reported Helmuth's group to the authorities. When arrested, Helmuth hoped for the best outcome but was found guilty of treason and beheaded at age 17 for opposing Hitler. The book and article both describe Helmuth's conflict with Nazi Germany society as he fought for the truth through words and actions despite facing danger.

Shakespeare presentation
The document provides background information on William Shakespeare and his plays Hamlet and As You Like It. It discusses that Shakespeare lived from 1564-1616 in Stratford upon Avon and wrote 37 plays and 154 sonnets. Hamlet was written between 1599-1601 and is one of Shakespeare's most famous tragedies. As You Like It is a pastoral comedy published in 1599-1600 that is set in France but takes place mostly in the Forest of Arden. It focuses on disguises and confusion like many of Shakespeare's other comedies.
Romanticism and aestheticism
Romanticism was a reaction against Enlightenment ideals from 1789-1824 that emphasized intuition and emotion over reason in poetry. It responded to political repression during the Napoleonic Wars. Major Romantic poets included William Blake, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Lord Byron, William Wordsworth, John Keats, and Percy Shelley. Victorian Aestheticism from 1868-1901 valued aesthetic beauty over social themes, influenced by Walter Pater's view of intensely living for beauty and intuition over science, including influences from Oscar Wilde and Algernon Charles Swinburne. Both Romanticism and Aestheticism emphasized subjective experience and intuition rather than objective reason.
