Question

How did the work of John Dos Passos respond to societal changes following
World War I? (1 point)
• He wrote pieces about the death of the American Dream.
• He criticized the rich and their lack of empathy.
• He rejected the traditional method of romanticizing war and violence.
He sculpted surrealist, cubist figures in unconventional ways.

Answer 1

Correct choices: the first three are true; the fourth is false.

Dos Passos’s fiction (especially the U.S.A. trilogy) expressed disillusionment with the American Dream, criticized wealthy and powerful elites, and rejected romanticized portrayals of war; he was a novelist using experimental literary techniques, not a sculptor.
