The 1920's Project

"Great fiction is social history; Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby has become automatically identified with an American decade; The Jazz Age (which he named) or The Roaring Twenties or The Boom."

Select one famous or infamous person that represents the time period between 1918-1929.

TASK: Though your research, you are to prove whether this time period was:

• one of decadence, moral decay, loss of innocence, hedonism and lawlessness

• an age of miracles, "The American Dream" of succes, a celebration of enterprising individuals, creativity (art, music, writing, movies, inventions, etc.) and progress.
