In the United States immigrants sway from their country's to start a new beginning. This wanting of a new beginning is sparked by a belief, a rumor called The American Dream. The American Dream is an exaggerated idea that in a way. Gives motivation to the people who are near giving up.
The American dream is something that everyone wants. But struggle to achieve this goal of wealth, happiness, good health, and of course love. The American Dream is just an illusion that motivates a person to continue in the reality. The American Dream is hope to people for new and better possibilities.
In the Great Gatsby for example, James Gatz is obsessed with Daisy Buchanan. His first love but in a sudden change of fate. James and Daisy meet themselves in a fork in the road and their paths diverged.
James Gatz thrives threw life for seven years. He was becoming wealthy in corrupt ways and James Gatz changes his name to the elegant sounding Jay Gatsby. He put his new name to good use, making it well known by society. He was now young, wealthy, and well known he had it all except happiness. Then he finds Daisy but she has a family now. Gatsby being so obsessed doesn't care and wants her back to live in his dream world. But in the end Gatsby is murdered and all his accomplishments, flushed all away and so close to achieving them.
He had the American Dream in his hands but when you got their it was no longer a dream or an illusion. It was reality, its life at its best just stop asking for more and just cherish it and live it. because one day that believer will be there. It will be hard times and good times but they'll be there someday.
