The central idea of paragraphs 1-5 from "Hollywood Dreams of Wealth, Youth, and Beauty" is given. Choose the explanation that supports this central idea. The images that Hollywood used in the movies portrayed American life in the optimistic way immigrants often saw America. Putting this way of life on the screen made it seem possible for all Americans. Group of answer choices These paragraphs make claims about the movie industry and how it helped create the idea of the American Dream. They explain specific themes from well-known movies to establish the messages that these movies were sending America. This section further illustrates the central idea by giving examples of stock movie characters (gangsters, entrepreneurs, cowboys) and how their lives were optimistic despite the problems that they should be facing. Mondello leads this section with a claim about minorities and film. He includes a quotation that supports the contradictory way Mondello describes America for immigrants. It appears perfect but is not. He then uses an example from a more modern movie to show this same contradictory nature of America. A shift occurs at the beginning this section. This point in the article signals a step back from the generalized “good life” and attempts to define what Hollywood is presenting to consumers as the “good life.” The author uses repetition to emphasize the disparity between what is portrayed as real and what is actually true in America. He ends with a scenario that proves both the author’s points that American life in the movies appears grand, but, in actuality, it is based on illusion.
