Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
the United States entered the First World War and Wilson emerged as its greatest cheerleader. Thereafter, a growing number Americans felt they had been duped (Gross and Gross 7).
As a result, the U.S. emerged as a superpower, and during the 1920s, decadence and ostentation were everywhere. The rich were getting richer and the poor held onto
their dreams of becoming rich. But was money a prerequisite for happiness? Author F. Scott Fitzgerald, himself a scion of a socially American prominent family, struggled to answer

It focused on impoverished First World War army officer James Gatzs unrequited love for Daisy Fay, who seeks money and social position, which she finds in Ivy Leaguer Tom
Buchanan. Gatz tries to win Daisys heart by reinventing himself as a dapper aristocrat while hiding the fact that his fortune was made through underworld associations and petty crimes
