The American dream is the declaration of independence which states that “all man are created equal and that they are endowed with certain unalienable rights, among which are life, liberty and pursuit of happiness”.

Individuals try to thrive for the same rights and equality although people are judging based on their different social classes through poor or rich. The declaration of independence has been ignored; the wealthy individuals treat others poorly and misunderstood from the world they to live in. The West and East Egg play an important role which act as a symbolism within the novel. The author entails that people are still not treated quickly and that social discrimination still exists, where people do not put a stop to this social implications. An example is found within the novel is when Tom and Wilson negotiation when Wilson wants to resell Tom’s old car. Tom clearly wants to keep his affair with Myrtle and as a result he does not allow Wilson to resell it. Money doesn't buy us happiness. We would like to believe that money is one thing
