U.S.A. by John Dos Passos
THE BIG MONEY- The Bitter Drink
This chapter of the book is dedicated to a sad story of one man’s life, Veblen. It talks about a hard working family and a son who wanted more than what the family created or wanted in life. A great rebellion, which resulted in an educated man, who was known by many in the educated word. To a farmer he was a son and a lazy one at that. To the women of his time, he was unstoppable and a heartbreaker.
The story is about development and sets out the hard working father and a quick fix son who wanted less effort for maximum result. This is a great example of how one’s life can change due to the choices we make. Veblen was an extravert who wanted new things and to develop minds and machines. Like many great man who devote themselves to their work he had a vision. He died alone and wanted no record of his life due to this vision. For all his great ideas he had a sad life full of disappointments. Conclusively, this chapter is dedicated to people who have a chance to do something different and live a happy life, or, do something one wants and sacrifice everything for it, even happiness.
