The show depicted the everyday experiences of a Jewish immigrant family in the Bronx and their navigation of American society. At the beginning of each episode, Molly Goldberg, the sympathetic protagonist and mother figure, directly addresses the audience, introducing the moral themes of the episode along with advertisements. By breaking the fourth wall of communication in television with her direct address, Molly mediates between the story world and reality, which eases the transition and makes her relatable to the viewer. For the first televised sitcom, it is remarkable how the show vocalized the female perspective, and centralized an immigrant group thought to be unassimilable in society

“The After Hours” Imagine being locked up in a dark room filled with nothing but darkness — and mannequins. Just being alone in the dark is nerve-racking, but being with plastic mannequins that’s even more horrifying. Their plastic human-like faces and designer clothing are a few aspects that you make to try to assure yourself they’re not authentic human-beings. Nevertheless, their human-like face seems to stare into space, or at you while you’re shopping. Staring at a mannequin gives you an eerie feeling that they might upthrust their arms, batter their eyes, or move their lips.

Day 1 After watching news on reports of extreme behavior, it is evident that news analysts and reporters overemphasize some facts or occurrences. For instance, the Orlando nightclub shooting was covered intensely whereby images of people scampering for safety were repeatedly aired. The media also used terrorism consultants and analysts who overemphasized the incidence. For instance, considering how the Orlando shooting was reported many people would believe that going to public spaces would expose one to a terrorist attack. Day 2

Clare Boothe Luce stands in front of an audience at the Women's National Press Club in 1960 to deliver a speech about the issues and successes of the American Press. She realizes that what she has to say may not be well received by her audience because they are the journalists of the American press, so she addresses them with an introduction that purposefully prepares them for her criticism.

Luce's introduction begins with an immediate shift in tone from being delightful to being harsh and getting down to business.
