Rockwell's "The Runaway"

Thesis:
Rockwell's "The Runaway" over looks the fundamental rift that was rising in America throughout the 1950's - An emerging counter culture that was not concerned with how things were in America but rather how things are.

Paragraph:
Ask yourself this, "If a child, who appears to be running away from home, was to sit next to you at a diner, how would you react?" The famous painting, "The Runaway," depicts this very situation. As a young child, approximately 5 years old, sits at the bar of a diner, the manager as well as a police officer do not seem to show very much worry for this child. Whereas today, this child would not have gotten this far without the accompaniment of an adult. [insert thesis here]
