As life in the United States began to undergo changes, many felt the gnawing insecurity associated with change. The heroic person who could face the trials of competition or the dangers of the unknown became larger than life. The hero had come up against the strongest adversaries and won. For people living in uncertain times, the hero was proof that a brave and strong-willed man or woman could win out over fears of the unknown or the impossible.
What qualities seem to have been idolized in the 1920’s?
1. Writers Speak for the twenties
A. F. Scott Fitzgerald published This Side Of Paradise and The Great Gatsby. He won instant acclaim as the spokesman for the twenties generation. In these novels and others, he described the confusion and tragedy caused by a frantic search for material success.
B. Ernest Hemingway expressed disgust with prewar codes of behavior and the glorification of war. He also developed a clear, straightforward prose that set a new, tough, “hard-boiled” literary style
2. Sport Heroes
A. Babe Ruth - Perhaps the greatest baseball player who ever lived. He led the Yankees to seven world series and his record for Home Runs (Total and in a season - 60) stood for years. Ruth was a media icon and fan favorite.
B. Harold Edward “Red” Grange - College football hero, this running back drew tens of thousands to watch him play and helped popularize college football.
C. Jack Dempsey - One of the greatest heavyweight boxers of all time. Lost a dramatic title match to Gene Tunney.
D. Bill Tilden and Helen Wills—Tennis champions who epitomized grace and poise. These star athletes helped popularize the sport of tennis.
E. Johnny Weismuller - Olympic gold medal winning swimmer who later starred in Hollywood as Tarzan Lord of the Jungle.
3. Other important Heroes
A. Charles A. Lindbergh—He flew a nonstop flight from New York to Paris in thirty-three and a half hours. He was the man who epitomized heroism in the twenties. Lindbergh became a world and national hero who characterized courage and doing the impossible.
B. Louis Armstrong—a trumpeter who played the first jazz heard north of Mason-Dixon line.
C. W. E. B. Du Bois—founder of the NAACP and worked hard to improve the lives of blacks in America.
