Question
read the excerpt from the song, \brother, can you spare a dime?\
they used to tell me i was building a dream
with peace and glory ahead—
these lines emphasize the pre-great depression belief that
○ peace and glory were the ultimate goals of wwi.
○ the american dream was beyond reach.
○ american businesses were imperishable.
○ there would always be work available.
The song "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?" reflects the disillusionment of the Great Depression. The pre-Depression lines "building a dream / With peace and glory ahead" reference the widespread belief in the American Dream of steady work and prosperity, meaning people assumed work would always be available to achieve that dream. The other options are incorrect: WWI's goals are not the focus here; the pre-Depression belief was the dream was attainable, not out of reach; and the lines do not center on business imperishability.
