What is the U.S.A.?

A far-far land? A new place, which was built of emigrants, their sons and daughters? A country where everything is possible, where dreams come true?
It was definitely true, the possibilities were enormous, and they ruled (rule) the whole world.

We were advised to read three different writing of three completely different lives, and background.
Henry Ford, and how he grew up, about his ideas, and how he managed to get them through. How he invented the automobile industry and so much more. For me that was the most interesting reading.

I liked the way Dos Passos was telling the story. It’s simple and descriptive. How he is showing the socialist idea of not telling people what to do, then let them do it, because they want to do it. “It’s up to you” - philosophy. This little essays also showed me how independent America was. How they wanted nothing from Europe anymore, and wanted to invent and reinvent everything and how it led to great stories, inventions and the Industrialisation. And how people happily lived or failed the American Dream…
