The Great Gatsby used the American Dream as big part of the idea in the story. But, Is the American Dream really possible? Or is there even such thing as an American Dream? This is something many people say they are going for. But, in reality what is this ambition everyone is working so hard for? Money? Happiness? Luxury?
This beautiful story tells us how a man works so hard for love. How he accomplicious this so called American Dream to be with the person he loves. For this love he need money. Knowing that Dasiy his love was a wealthy women with a good family name. As though for him, he was a poor young man. Gatsby knew he need to be wealthy too. Just to even think about being with Dasiy.
He started working for this Dream. To become a wealthy man and be successful. His ambition to be with Dasiy was what made him want this so bad. To get money even in an illegale way. He was a smart young man that soon learned the bootleg business. He bootleged alcohol to win all his money. He was soon a really wealthy man. He had acopplished his dream to become rich. His American Dream came true. He had money.
With all this money and all the success why was he not happy then. Why was his story not a happy ending? All his money could not buy him love. It could not make Dasiy love him as much as he loved her. Hit could not make her leave everything behinde to leave with him. All his money did not bring him happiness.
So you see, this is what i think about. What is this so called American Dream? To me it really does not excist. Its just life that we need to live. Live for what can make us happy. Have goals to reach, be ambitious on everything you do. But mostly enjoy what you have.
