Reflection+for+Status+Quo

Although this wall shows that there has been a change in the gap between the rich and poor people of America, it has not been a change for the better, but rather a worsening of the problem. The picture at the top of the wall illustrates not only the difference between the rich and poor of America, but how they interact. The quote from The Great Gatsby about Tom and Daisy, two rich characters in this novel about the "roaring 20's" of America, symbolizes how many rich Americans act: reckless and ignorant of those around them. The behavior that these two characters display in the 1920’s can be found in the rich communities of America today. The chart and quote along side it explain how the gap between the rich and poor, both in terms of money and in terms of interaction, has grown and worsened with time.
