    This story is the continuation of the story ''Shining'' which was published in 1979 in France.The story is getting back on the ''child light'' who's  now an adult and who's plunged into a war between good and evil... the only thing you can think when you read this book King is backis ''what will happen ?''. If you like stressful books you will not borry with this one and I recommend it to you

  • Prohibition: Prohibition was a period of nearly fourteen years of U.S. history in which the manufacture, sale, and transportation of liquor was made illegal.

    Many people drank because it was hot or because it was cool.They drank when they closed a bargain or when they made new acquaintance.
    The American man started to drink early in life: when they were teenagers and they just stopped when they died.
     
    When they worked they drank two times in the day, when the bell rang they stopped their work and they drank.
    The prohibition started because many wives and children « were beaten by their father or  husband and they were mistreated or abandoned whithout food or shelter.
     
    Many associations like the WCTU were created to help these peole.
    So the US governement  proclaimed the Volstead Act in October 1929 to ban alcohol, beer,liquors or any else beverage of the American society.

  • During the twenties, in America people used to drink every day.: from early in the morning until late in the evening, and they spent all their time in saloons. They started to drink early in their life and they stopped when they died.

    Americans were used to drinking for a lot of opportunities : they drank when they made a new aquaintance, they drank to rejoice or celebrate an  election, they also drank if they met someone.. 

    Very fast  alcohol became a rite in the life of Americans : men could stop their activities in factories and offices, farmfields, As a matter of fact a  bell used to ring to warn the workers of the break:  it was known as  the "grog time".

    Rhum, Whisky and Beer were the three types of alcohol that could be found. Alcohol became a symbol of masculinity: to show you were a man ,you drank.

    But, alcohol became dangerous for women and children because men became violent. Men couldn't provide for their family and they couldn't do their job. 

    So the government proclaimed the prohibition with the 18th  amendment in order to protect the nation from drunkards who could become harmful to the nation.

  • Alcohol was steeped in history of America for many decades, namely people loved drink early in life and they stopped when they got to the grave.

    Before the Prohibition in America, the population -and in most cases men- were used to drinking all the time. They drank to celebrate an election, when they closed a bargain or when they made acquaintance with someone. Alcohol became dangerous because men had no control over them. Therefore their wives and their children became victims of this decadence; they were abandoned, mistreated and deprived of food and shelters. Men couldn't provide for their family and couldn't do their job. All social classes were concerned with the problem of alcohol.

    At that time, the 18th amendment to the constitution of the United States was proclaimed and the Prohibition bagan in America. Prohibition was also called The Noble Experiment.

    With this new law, alcohol became an object of trafficking and speakeasies appeared. Many people took advantage of this prohibition, like bootleggers. A lot of bootleg liquors appeared like Yak-Yak Bourbon, Rum Runner or Pumpkin Wine. This new baverages were called Wood Alcohol.

    Faced with this huge problem, several organizations were created in favour of The Noble Experiment; WCTU (Woman's Christian Temperance Union), an organization which was formed only of women, was one of the most important.

    Finally, in 1933, the 18th amendment was removed from the declaration with  the 21th amendment to the constitution of United States.
