The American Dream/The Great Gatsby Gatsby starts poor in a little farm in North Dakota, but with luck and sklills he managed to get rich. He ,always, believed that he will getrich, that is why he made a list, which sould help him when he becomes rich. For example “practice elocation, poise and how t attain it”. He studied how he has to behavior when he meets rich people. When he met Dan Cody and went with him, he was lucky, for Dan made Gatsby yo his heir and gave him some money. Gatsby worked with this money and got rich. On his way he did some illegal stuff, for example he go worked in the drugbusiness, nut he got rich. This part looks like the author does not suport the article, but it does, because Gatsby never got rich, for it was his dream to be rich. He got rich, because it was necessary to achive his real dream: to be together with Daisy. So his dream is a “abstract value”, it is love. All of Gatsby s actions in the novel are in purpose to get Daisy. He just made all the parties o meet Dasiy. That is why he stoped his parties, after Nick intoduced him. He showed Daisy his money and his house to impresse her and to show her that he can offer her the same live that Tom can. When Nic told Gatsby “You are worth the whole samn bunch put together”, (Fitzgerald 154). Nick told him that, becase Gatsby s American Dream was love and not money. After Daisy turned Gatsby down, he could not be happy anymore. All his money did not mean anything to him, when he could not share it with Daisy. ”the percentage of people… has remained low” (Seelye 3). Gatsby was the living prouve, for the American Dream. He just lived to achive his Dream, after that was impossiable his live made no sence anymore. Fitzgerald tells us =, that the American Dream is not money, because it can not make you happy, but it is love. The American Dream is not dead, it is just hard to achive. But without a dream you work for, your live makes no sence. That is basicly wat the article is about. It says that he American Dream is more about love, than about money and that most people say they are not about to achive their dream, but they still believe in their American Dream.
