Progress in America


This image is a clear representation of Progress in America. I see a sunflower covered gas nozzle and blurred cars in the background. I think this signifies the need for fuel efficiency and how auto technology has progressed. When the Great Gatsby was written, the auto industry was in its infancy and only the wealthy, such as Gatsby, could afford cars, especially like the Rolls-Royce Gatsby has. Manufacturing improvements and mass production has lead to the production of more cars for less money. Rather than a luxury in the past, a car is now often a necessity. Most people today, rely on cars for transportation. If someone oes not have a car, they are most likely considered Lower Class. It is more affordable for consumers to purchase cars nowdays because of the varying models and prices of cars. I wonder what is next for the future of cars. The creation of hybrid and the future of cars is Progress in America.
