hmm...

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. I feel that he compromised his origional goals and got caught up in the rush of modern life. I also feel that what makes America unique is that we can all be different and do what we want (to an extent) but I feel that Eustace got caught up in trying to impress his father and living his fantasy, which living your fantasy is a typical american thing, but his fantasy isn't the only fantasy and thats what makes Eustace Conway one of many american people.
