The Great Gatsby Journal March 1
During our time studying the Great Gatsby, I made many connections between IHSS and the book. The largest one, was between differences in the living conditions of different socioeconomic classes. The Great Gatsby showed these by comparing the extravagant parties of the rich to the "Valley of Ashes."We also saw these differences during our trips out to the different food shops. One group went to a Kroger stocked with food and in a good neighborhood, while the other group went to food stores that were just a few miles away from this Kroger and filled with no fresh food. Personally, I believe that there is an even bigger difference between the socioeconomic class of today, than there was in the 1920s.

Looking at how the Great Depression brought the middle class back in a state that was so ideal that it was the admiration of multiple foreign countries, do you think that the only way to revive the middle class is to lose it all together? Why do you think the poor is underrepresented in social media?
