Without a car most people feel that they are poor. And even if a person is poor he doesn’t feel really poor when he has a car.Henry Ford was the man who first started making cars in large numbers. He probably didn’t know how much the car was going to change American culture. The car made the United States a nation on wheels. And it helped make the United States what it is today. There are three main reasons why the car became so popular in the United States First of all the country is a big one and Americans like to move around it.

One weekend all of the hotels were full because a large meeting was being held in the city. On Saturday night , three men came into the hotel and asked for rooms. Mr. White explained that there were no rooms for them. The men didn’t want to go because they had no place to stay. Mr. White wanted to help them.
