Jesse+Rose+Reflection+on+Appearance

Part of being an American is to be respected and highly sought of. No American wants to be a nobody. Appearance counts for a lot in our society whether that means being beautiful or smart. Making a name for yourself seems to be really important in the American character. We want to be individuals, and it is what we do, believe in, wear, learn, attend, experience, and pursue that gives us taht individuality. Who is that appearance for? I believe that everything any given American does for them self is indeed for self satisfaction, is weighted out just as much for the acknowledgment of others.

We see a version of this in Jay Gatsby in the twentieth century novel, __The Great Gatsby__. His ambition to be somebody and to be acknowledged/looked up to, is something that, I bet, can be applied to many Americans today.
