Gatsby the American The American today meant something totally different than what it meant back in the 1920’s. F. Scott Fitzgerald’s, The Great Gatsby talked about how the community was effected by the American Dream. During this era there were a lot of hopes and dreams for self improvement. In The Great Gatsby, the American Dream evolved around the image of brilliance, even their looks had to be brilliant. The author of The Great Gatsby really pointed out to the readers some examples from the novel like Romanticism, material goods, and the young people (youth) and lastly how people acted very selfishly. At that time period they worried about showing off, so they didn't really

    Fitzgerald leaves the sentence unfinished because he wants the reader to wonder what it is exactly that will happen on “one fine morning;” he wants to display how unknown the future is for everyone, as well as how much hope there is because that is what Gatsby’s entire life was: hope. He hoped for Daisy, for wealth, and for a life entirely different from where he began. Nick thinks that one fine morning everything will be right, that he will wake up one morning after all the work and hope and longing put in will be worth it. Hopes and dreams are centered around future beliefs because to hope for something is to want that something to happen, but a person cannot hope for something to happen in the past, as the past has already happened. A person can wish that something had not happened in the past, but they cannot hope for something else to occur instead.…

    Compare and contrast the importance of dreams and The American Dream in your two novels The American Dream could be seen as the foundation of America.

    Living in the suburbs with a white picket fence may be what comes to mind when you hear the phrase ‘American Dream.’ For others, this dream carries heavier implications; a good education and hard work seem like the only pathway to success and wealth for those who hold or are held to higher standards. F. Scott Fitzgerald’s comparison of Jay Gatsby’s dreams and the American Dream in The Great Gatsby paints a picture of lust, greed, and eventual and inevitable failure for the reader. My idea of the American Dream may be different than other people’s, but each and every person are all pursuing one common goal: happiness. This goal has been evident since the term ‘American Dream’ was first used, over 90 years ago, and is definitely present today.…

    The American Dream is supposed to represent hard work and self-made independence. The ideal is blurred though when it becomes a selfish, endless pursuit of money, material, and pleasure. In modern society, success is measured by the accumulation and display of one’s wealth: the size of one’s house, the quality of one’s wardrobe, the luster of fine jewelry, or the model of one’s automobile. In the 1920’s, society mirrored today’s outlook on success. In Fitzgerald’s rendition of the American Dream, The Great Gatsby, he captures the ideal in both the cynical and the hopeful viewpoint through the characters of Nick Carraway and none other than Jay Gatsby himself.…

    The Dissatisfaction of the Roaring Twenties The ancient greek philosopher Heraclitus of Ephesus was once heard saying,“The world is nothing but a great desire to live and a great dissatisfaction with living,” (Heraclitus of Ephesus). Although he was clearly not referring to America in the 1920s, Heraclitus’ idea parallels life in the Roaring Twenties. The American Dream was very real for many americans. It was a goal to be strived for, and people worked hard for their own version of The Dream. Many times the dream included money and other material things.…

    The American Dream gives people the opportunity to achieve many things through hard work, and determination. In the novel, “Their Eyes Were Watching God” by Zora Neale Hurston, Janie is in search of true love and refuses to let anyone make her think differently or bring her down.

For Gatsby, this love couldn´t be complete without status, wealth, and the ability to make a strong impression.…

    The ‘American Dream’ The ability to become successfully wealthy, popular, and most importantly, happy in America is difficult to obtain, unless one was to grow up in a rich, social, and happy family.

    Gatsby’s idealistic views on life are the results of an American dream that has been overpowered by personal greed. The American dream withers as Gatsby’s impractical expectations are never met and his death represents the end of exactly that, a dream too high to reach. Therefore, Fitzgerald describes the American dream as a dream that is not for everyone and causes social discrimination and it reveals how men and women were trying to live their dreams in a corrupt…

    The American Dream is commonly correlated to people’s social class. Both Langston Hughes and F. Scott Fitzgerald share the perspective of social class connecting to the American Dream and expressed this in their writing. The specific use of incorporating characters of high social status that have the American Dream versus everyone else who works towards the dream but never obtains it is a common thread between both writers. Specifically in Fitzgerald’s novel, The Great Gatsby, Nick and Gatsby are conversating about Tom and Daisy as well as their marriage, and before Nick leaves he turns around after remembering something: “They’re a rotten crowd,” I shouted across the lawn. “You’re worth the whole damn bunch put together.”…

    The American Dream; the ideal that every US citizen should have an equal opportunity to achieve success and prosperity through hard work, determination, and initiative. Unfortunately, back in the 1920’s this ideal remained but a mere dream for anyone trying to work their way up from rags to riches for the simple reason that it was practically impossible to become rich unless you were already born into it. In the novel “The Great Gatsby” by F. Scott Fitzgerald we get an up close and personal idea of what it was really like to be after the American Dream. However, instead of the typical dollar and a dream story Fitzgerald puts his own spin. For one, Fitzgerald criticizes the “American Dream” in every possible way throughout the entire book.…
