F Scott Fitzgerald Life parallels the story- poor to rich Raised in St. Paul Zelda married him only when he was rich Moved among the wealthy- saw the purposelessness and immorality of the rich m/images/1280/F_S cott_Fitzgerald.jpg

Literary Genre Falls into the category of literary modernism: pessimistic view of mankind Considered a BILDUNGSROMAN- the story of a boy becoming a man Nick celebrates a birthday- learns a vital truth of life: Being rich can make people jerks

American Dream is born American Dream first written about by Horatio Alger Wrote first “rags to riches” stories- poor boy works hard and becomes successful 135 dime novels: Tattered Tom

Why AMERICAN dream? 1. Ethic of hard work, survival 2. Immigrants arrived in huge numbers from Europe 3. Not possible in many other countries : No caste system

Why 1920’s? Cultural Forces Advertising begins Consumer Confidence high: Post War Bliss 40 hour work week: Life seems good, more free time Credit: Makes huge purchases possible

Henry Ford: A Genius Henry Ford creates a middle class for the first time Pays $5.00/day 8 hour day For the first time, factory workers can afford the item that they make! ¾ own cars

Icons of Industry and Business Rockefeller JC Penney Firestone Sears and Roebuck Carnegie

Birth of the “Nouveau Riche” Means (in French) new wealth Implications: Culturally inferior Lacking in good taste Stupid/ uneducated

Wild Women Flappers are created Exemplify the paradigm shift of the age Wild, drinking, smoking, sexually promiscuous Also capable of achieving success (through sports, )

Wild Music Jazz Music Influenced by African American and Cajun music Creation of Jazz Clubs Parents hated it! “Stay away from Jazz and liquor”

American Dream in 2009? American Idol Who Wants to Be a Millionaire Internet Businesses

Possible? Oprah Winfrey Sam Walton Ray Croc Bill Gates Chuck Norris

Probable? Foreclosures at a record level Bankruptcies at a record level Savings in the negative numbers Millions without health insurance Food shelves- record use
