Goal! 2: Living the Dream...

One of the most controversial topics of the book, The Great Gatsby, is the title itself. So, is the great Gatsby great?

I looked over to my father and his smile was as bright as the sun itself. I could imagine my life there in America, living the life I always wanted. While it was a bit sad to leave my friends back in the Philippines, my excitement concealed most of the sadness. I was about excited as a child seeing presents underneath the tree on Christmas Day.

When their corporations earn money, and they can create more job opportunities for the lower class people. However, the goal of trickle down has never existed. The wine stayed on the top cup.
