The image I have chosen is an architectural drawing of a
theatre in Chicago during the 1930s. Theatres during this period were extremely
popular as they were one of the key forms of entertainment for the American
people. These theatres were constructed as iconic buildings which brought culture
to cities all across nation. America has always been a country where big is
seen as better, the buildings that architectures had created were of grand
design, this relates to Adams theory of the American Dream where the lives of
individuals could be improved through technological advancements. American
citizens could live happier and richer lives due to more modern forms of
entertainment and more opportunities being created. The theatres and other
buildings developed improved infrastructure and allowed American citizens to
have a sense of national pride. It would also give America hope as new
inventions and new technologies would continue to be introduced.
