4 WHAT IS THE ROARING 20'S? The 1920s were an age of dramatic social and political change. For the first time, more Americans lived in cities than on farms. The nation’s total wealth more than doubled between 1920 and 1929, and this economic growth swept many Americans into an affluent but unfamiliar “consumer society.” http://www.history.com/topics/roaring -twenties

5 WHAT WAS THE AMERICAN DREAM IN THE 1920S? "the belief that anyone can, and should, achieve material status." CrosspointLiterature. August 29. Instead of shooting for equality, in the 1920's the american dreamm wass to get rich fast as you can and live the fun free life. And since people arent striving for equality, there is still alot of discrimination.

6 WHAT DOES THE ROARING 20S HAVE TO DO WITH OUR BOOK? The reckless jubilance that led to decadent parties and wild jazz music—epitomized in The Great Gatsby by the opulent parties that Gatsby throws every Saturday night—resulted ultimately in the corruption of the American dream, as the unrestrained desire for money and pleasure surpassed more noble goals.

7 WHERE DID THE CONCEPT OF THE AMERICAN DREAM GENERATE? The first idea of the "american dream" was thought up y the writers of the declaration of independence. When they wrote it they added that ""All man are created equal and that they are all endowed with certain unalienable rights, among whih are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." This was the original American dream before it was warped by the people of the 1920's.

8 HOW IS THE AMERICAN DREAM TODAY DIFFERENT THAN IN THE 1920S? The American Dream isn't any different, but the way to achieve it is. Back then, it was work ethic and labor, whereas now, people except things to be given to them without earning it.
