The roaring 20's

If I posed the question of how best to describe the lifestyle of the 1920's, most people would respond with perhaps a mention of how an economic boom led to increasingly luxurious lives. However, they would be wrong and uneducated in their conclusions. This essay opened my eyes to the best way to describe it, calling it, "the roaring 20's, the Jazz age, known as an age of prosperity."

With this new-found prosperity, America could become a nation that was fertile ground for heroes--heroes who could hit sixty home-runs in a season. I never realized that three of the heroes that we associate with associate with the "roaring 20's, the Jazz age, known as an age of prosperity" (Babe Ruth, Charles Linbergh, and Henry Ford) were so similar. For example, I never knew that they were the first to do something/get 0ver sixty home-runs in a season/gain the respect of people by doing unheard of things.

I now present to the world another one of my favorite essays of all time, which is simply titled "Chapter 31 essay".
