Example of aTIME CAPSULE (1950)TIME CAPSULE (1950)TIME CAPSULE (1950)TIME CAPSULE (1950)

Nancy Shellburne, daughter of George and Martha Shellburne lives during the time of the Cold War. She is one who lives in a cold environment, created by her always serious father and obedient, overmother. Nancy describes the seriousness acquired as the years increase. They practice civil defense drills, and as for their tame games were at an ultimate end, play had lost its fun. At one such drill, Nancy meets Brenda Wompers whom she describes as carefree and one who represses the whole danger that they were supposedly in. At times of seriousness, the humorous girl would always connect it someway to something hilarious. This eased the intensity of the tensions between the Russians and Americans. Nancy would spend every Monday evening at the Wompers’ to watch every episode of the much anticipated T.V. show, “I Love Lucy.” The Wompers’ environment was much different than her own. They were warm and welcoming, and always had room for fun, fun, and more different than her own. They were warm and welcoming, and always had room for fun, fun, and more fun. One day at dinner in the Shellburnes’ house, George made an announcement. He announced that the Americans exploded the first H-Bomb over the Marshall Island, and how it doesn’t exist anymore. Her father concluded the announcement with the building proposal of a bomb shelter. After that he started his work. He would go out and dig all day. Nancy and her mother were encouraged to make a list of supplies they would need. No one was to know of George Shellburne’s obsessive work on the nuclear bomb shelter. Nancy had not even shared this bit of info. with Brenda. On one normal day, Nancy’s parents were discussing the Wompers’ and their irregularities. They think with company such as Brenda, Nancy wouldn’t keep her grades up. She protests, and in return her father tells her that they were going to a civil defense meetings for 6 weeks on miss Lucy! After intense work on the shelter, it was finally completed. One day Brenda came over, to return Nancy’s Math book on the card table, and after a rude encounter w/ her father, Nancy was embarrassed to talk to Brenda. Brenda understood, and after school dressed up as Nancy’s father and imitated him. And once again, it was back to good old times.
