The Last American Man Chapter 9

Is Eustace the ‘last American man’? Why or why not? Is that idea a good or bad one?

I don’t think that Eustace is the last American man because at the end of the book it talks about Eustace’s new dream to have a big house with “walk in closets.” It is apparent that Eustace is starting to gradually becoming like many modern-day Americans. Anyone with this dream should not be given the name “The Last American Man.” I think that the idea of “The Last American Man” is a good one because of how people today think that they need things that are really a luxury to have. It is nice to create a view of what people used to be like in early history.
