F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote a impressive novel, that follows the life of characters living in the town of West Egg on Long Island in the summer of 1922, The Great Gatsby. The story’s main plot involves a youthful, mysterious millionaire by the name of Jay Gatsby. The story has underlying messages about dreams and making them come true or having them shattered. Through the use of symbols of name changes, dialogue describing Gatsby meeting Daisy’s daughter, and the captivating plot that shows no party attendees show at Gatsby’s funeral in The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald portrays that the American Dream does not completely fulfill expectations but is instead easily destroyed by reality.

Chapter 5 reveals Gatsby is being shy and nervous when he meets back up with Daisy again. “You’re acting like a little boy, I broke out impatiently”, says Nick, because he was so disappointed that Gatsby was uncomfortable. Gatsby had mapped out and imagined how great it would be to meet Daisy again and had high expectations for when he met Daisy again but instead his dreams are being shattered by the reality of shyness and nervousness. Nick says he is acting like a little boy, like a boy who is to shy to talk to his crush. Although Gatsby already knows Daisy, she left his love for money and materialistic purposes, thus resulting in Daisy becoming somewhat a new person. This leaves Gatsby with the appropriate reaction to be shy, it’s just not what imagined in his mind. In Chapter 7, Nick says “Gatsby and I in turn leaned down and took the small, reluctant hand… he had ever really believed in its existence”. When Gatsby and Nick met Pammy, Daisy’s daughter, Gatsby’s dreams became crushed because he finally became fully aware that Daisy has moved on. Fitzgerald used diction to convey the point dreams disintegrate. He made the sentence so dramatic sounding and the word choice he used got the point across dreams aren't always
