The two images i have chosen i think depict Watsons view on the American dream. In the first picture where it shows the couple looking up to the skies, dreaming of the future with materialistic items drawn within the stars translates the American goal and myth of 'newness'. All the items are modern day technologies and represent a notion of wealth and high status with the swimming pool and big house.

In the second picture i have chosen, i think this also represents the myths of America quite well, as it has a fairly expensive maybach car shown in the middle of the photo with skyscrapers as a backdrop in new york city. The car symbolises Watsons idea of the "geography of mobility" and the big, Maybach car i believe translates this idea very well and ties into the notion of newness.
