ys there—right on the job. They used to tell me I was building a dream With peace and glory ahead— Based on this excerpt and your knowledge of American history, why did the stock market crash make Americans lose confidence in business? Following the mob without asking questions can potentially lead to financial or emotional devastation. People worked diligently to participate in the building of the American dream with the understanding they would profit. The promise of peace and glory compelled many people to work for the wealthy and make them richer. Instead of plowing the fields and going to war, American should have gone to college

The answer is "Following the mob without asking questions can potentially lead to financial or emotional devastation"

The explanation for this answer is that the text makes it clear that the narrator is following the opinion of the crowd about the success in realizing his dream without questioning where it would take him, what the price to pay for that dream or some other questioning that the made him better plan his investment in the realization of his dream and prepare it if any harm occurred.

similarly, through the influence of other people, many citizens invested in the stock market unplannedly, believing they would achieve their dream in that way and unfortunately had a great loss in the stock market crash and lost confidence in this type of investment.

How would you describe walter mitty's wife?
solong [7]
Walter's wife, known in the story as "Mrs. Mitty," treats Walter like an absent-minded child. She is overbearing, condescending, and critical towards Walter. But she is also Walter's link to the real world. While Walter is off in his own imagination, it is his wife or other people who bring him back to reality. This relationship of Walter's imagination (his escape from reality) and his wife's nagging (in efforts to bring him back to reality) is an uncertain "chicken and the egg" situation. We, readers, don't know if Walter's imagination is what caused his wife to become the practical, reality-based wife that she is or if Walter uses his imagination as an escape from his overbearing wife. Even if we knew which came first (Walter being absent-minded or his wife being condescending), it is just as likely that over the course of their marriage, Walter's and his wife's behaviors fed off of each other; and therefore, who started the whole cycle is somewhat irrelevant.
At the end of the story, when Mrs. Mitty returns from her appointment, Walter says, "Things close in." This is noted as a vague statement but could be interpreted to illustrate how Walter feels about the real world. He feels trapped and therefore resorts to fantasies in order to escape from that trapped feeling. One could sympathize with Mrs. Mitty, knowing that Walter is always absent-minded to the point of being careless. On the other hand, one could sympathize with Walter. Even when Walter tells her he was thinking, a valid excuse, she dismisses it as a fever:
"I was thinking," said Walter Mitty. "Does it ever occur to you that I am sometimes thinking?" She looked at him. "I'm going to take your temperature when I get you home," she said.
