The Great Gatsby
. New York: Scribner, 1925.
Print.
This source is an excellent resource
on
the golden age of the 1920’s. It accurately reflects the emotions of the era and the
carelessness
of the
rich in regards to the duality of law enforcement and social conventions, .
It is an excellent character study of a poor man trying to be something he is not, which directly connects with
the
social research
project and the impact of money and societal cues regarding wealth on th
e general population.
