Independent Reading #7



Prompt #4

In chapter 8 in Part 2 I thought it was interesting how they went to the dinner in a bad neighborhood. I thought it was surprising because they go from casino to casino living the life and then to a bad neighborhood where there are drunks and prositutes. By Thompson talking about the two different worlds in Las Vegas shows the two different sides of the American Dream. The side with the luxury and the money represents the American Dream having money and the luxury. The bad neighborhood represents the reality to some people's lives because some might not have that same kind of lifestyle and struggle to find money.
