 Athletic heroes reassured Americans that people were
capable of great feats and lofty dreams. If in our heroes
we see our idealized selves, the sports heroes of the
1920s gave Americans a sense of hope.

“It's hard to beat a person who never gives up.”
― Babe Ruth
"Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game”
― Babe RuthThese source
“I've seen them; kids, men, women, worshippers all, hoping to get his name on a torn, dirty piece of paper, or hoping for a grunt of recognition when they said, 'Hi-ya, Babe.' He never let them down; not once. He was the greatest crowd pleaser of them all.”
 - Waite Hoyt (teammate)

These sources show how people look up to babe ruth and how he is one of the biggest figures in the  times, and he insprired many as he was similar to the average man in upbringing, he was able to do amazing things.

In contemporary society, actors and celebrities are more dominant in the limelight than athletes, but athletes still inspire people to work hard and try to chase their dreams.

way unmatched by newspapers or magazines.

" Radio programs ranged from live theater to sporting events, and from symphony concerts and jazz to religious sermons and broadcasts of important events.

many ways, it reflected the characteristics and issues of
the 1920s.

"the present writer already looks back to it with nostalgia. It bore him up, flattered him and gave him more money than he had dreamed of, simply for telling people that he felt as they did, that something had to be done with all the nervous energy stored up and unexpended in the War." - "echos of the Jazz Age" F. Scott Fitzgerald.

Fitzgerald's essay, along with his depiction of the age in "The Great Gatsby" show how jazz matched the tempo of life in the 20's. The cars in Gatsby show how everyone is fast and reckless, and the excessive consumption of alcohol and loss of inhibitions show the volatility of the times.

In modern times, music and the availability of music is so diverse and widespread there is a type of music for every event in everyone's life, and can have different meanings for each and every listener.

Scott Fitzgerald is a perfect example of a writer from this genre and another theme that is common for these authors was the death of the American dream, which is exhibited throughout many of their novels.
