Conspicuous Consumption in Sinclair Lewis' Babbit

Proudly consumed by Sinclair Lewis Babbitt Sinclair Lewis saw a conspicuous consumption idea at Babbitt or purchased unnecessary items to show people wealth. Lewis explained George Babbit, the hero of the book, as a person, but his values ​​and priorities are confused. Babbitt buys the most expensive and contemporary items to make herself happy and inform the surrounding people of his identity. He is more interested in these things than his wife and children, he is "God is a modern home appliance" (Lewis 5). Through Babbit, Lewis tries to show how ordinary Americans do or what they buy, even though it is unnecessary.

Therefore, I began to read Sinclair Lewis 'Babbit'. It is a satire of America's social landscape and a more profound view of the consistency between the middle class and mankind. This book was written in 1920, but most of that idea still remains today. The opening paragraph is simply amazing. I started writing every day or every half day, so this is the first week I tried to stick to my daily writing habits. This reminds me of my custom I have definitely noticed that writing is my personal habit so far. Depending on the theory that you believe, the custom is formed after about 3-4 weeks. I am wondering whether to continue these series, and why I am doing this. Those ideas happened before I sat down to write this article. The lesson I learned here is to write something else if you do not want to write specific types of stories such as short stories or novels.

In particular, the main street of Sinclair Lewis is portrayed as a narrow manga in the Midwest town. And Lewis got a generous return from this portrait, actually to disappoint or to focus on the fear of the Midwest market. Lauk wrote that focusing on similar works and not paying attention to those who celebrate the real Midwest will still create feedback loops that affect our culture and literary classics . Among other things, what is lost is the potential story of a Midwestern writer who shapes norms and helps establish literary realism.
