Henry Ford was very famous for promoting this wonderful commodity that represented a new kind of freedom. It was a symbol of the American Dream, and everyone was striving to have the new product. “The automobile was the backbone of economic growth.” The first real automobile appeared in Middletown in 1900; however, it wasn’t until Henry Ford came around and created a mass production of automobiles that the machine that would provide easy travel would become popular. Although the automobile created such a wonderful freedom, many adults thought that it was tearing families apart. Teenagers were spending more time with their friends driving around instead of staying at home with their family.
A person like Chris McCandless who has everything in the world is still unsatisfied on what is around him.

Whereas he helped people suffering of hunger by donating all of his college money, he forgot to help himself.

Ford created the automobile industry, which employed thousands of workers and inspired new industries as well (Heritage, 2010).The new industries included but were not limited to: gas stations, mechanics, fast food restaurants drive-ins (pig stands) and motels (A&E, 2006). Cars basically changed the way people lived, how they spend their leisure time and where they worked at (Roak et al., 2011). With cars people could travel further to work, vacation or to other cities. Ford not only inspired new automobiles and jobs but he also attracted competition. Walter Percy Chrysler was one of the last independent car manufacturers to enter the automobile industry; he established the Chrysler Corporation in 1924 (Peterson, 2013).By the end of the 1920s decade there were three major leading automobile industries: Ford, General Motors, and
This demise is a running theme throughout many of Steinbeck’s works, in which he often blames it on the rise of industry and the spread of capitalism. This view can be justified by many events throughout history, from the Great Depression through recent years. In 2013, the city of Detroit, Michigan officially filed for bankruptcy. Detroit was home to the quintessential American industry, automobile manufacturing. In the 20th century, the automobile was a welcome change to American life, as it granted workers and families a new mobility and thus a new sense of freedom and urgency, and we became a nation excessively dependent on our cars.
Fly fishing is a very attractive sport to some. However to others, it’s a complete brainless waist of time. Although I don’t fish, I was able to catch a lot of the subtle analogies in the book and later in the movie about where life meets fly fishing. It appears to be that in any group, be it a family, friends, work group, or whatever; there will or should always be that one thing that unites everybody. For the McCleanes, it was driving into the backwoods of the Black Forest early in the morning, hiking to their favorite fishing spot and letting the morning pass by in silent relaxing competition.

Previously I’d only been to this part of the area in a car, so now being able to ride the streets was truly an event I’ll always remember. We rode to the top of Great Oaks to Bright Water, where at sixteen years old, I witnessed one of the largest hills I’ve ever seen. Standing directly at the bottom, I looked up and felt the menacing road was mocking me. I turned to Joey and saw the same look in his face: wanting to conquer the slope. We walked up the hill carrying our boards, wanting to savor the thrill of riding down.
When he got there realised that the American dream was worlds different from the TV series Dallas. He started to make friends in college and began visiting them at their homes. He was overly fascinated by the beautiful and big houses, to him, everything looked shiny and prosperous. This can be seen in line 9-20 “Visited college friends in their hometowns and was struck by the spacious suburban houses and the gleaming
Everything was new and exciting. However, as time passed by, I felt really lonely and started missing my friends really bad. That is certainly the worst part about moving to another country: your social life gets really affected by that. I was always an easy person to become friends with, so I thought that wouldn’t be a problem for me here, but unfortunately I was wrong. I have lots of friends in Brasilia, and we used to hang out every weekend, and when we had nothing to do, they’d come over to my place so we could watch movies and play some games.
