Selfish People

They envy and seek the glamour and lifestyles of characters like Gatsby. The people who appear to be sincere and beautiful, are truly filled with carelessness, selfishness, and immorality. No matter the time of day, people are always self centered and selfish. The characters of The Great Gatsby as well as the people of today just continue to be careless of anyone but themselves.

prohibition

Prohibition was a big deal in the 1920's. It was a law that forbidded the sale of alcoholic beverages. Many people of this time got very angry and began rebelling against this law. Although it was a law, no one followed it. It was the 18th amendment to the constitution that enforced prohibition in the United States. It was only in the U.S. where alcohol was banned. People broke this law because and the death toll grew higher as well as domestic violence counts, and crimes as well. Prohibition definantly wasn't as helpfull to the United States as they intended it to be in the beginning. This law was... a failure!
