TRAGEDY
Tragedy is the worst thing that can happen to someone. No matter what shape or form tragedy is always the hardest thing in life to come over. I believe tragedy happens for a reason whether it’s because you have at one point in your life have done something wrong, or because god is testing you. Some people believe tragedy happens for no reason at all.
Gatsby was a really good person he grew up poor. But had it in mind to change that for someone he loved and wanted to be with Daisy, who told him they could never marry because he was poor. So he left for the war, when he came back he came into money and finally was good enough he thought for Daisy. He looked for her but when he found her she was already married.
There were many tragedies in this book. Another one can be when Daisy and Gatsby were in the car together. Daisy was driving when Merdal ran out into the middle of the road and tried to stop the car because she thought it was tom. Daisy hit Merdal but kept driving away. Well Merdal's husband Wilson was really hurt by this tragedy of his wife being killed. So he went to Daisy’s house and her husband Tom went outside to talk to him. Which tom was having an affair with Merdal his wife. Well Tom told Wilson that Gatsby was the one who owned the car. So Wilson went over to Gatsby’s house and killed him and then killed himself.
Tragedy comes in many shapes and forms. I went over about four tragedies that were all different from one another in many ways. No matter how big or small tragedy is you should still over come it.

The American Dream-Juan C. Zeron
"The American Dream"
"The American Dream" means a lot of thing to the people that lived it and achieve it. I think there is no right answer to this phrase. To most of the Latin People means a better life and a better future. Some people described it as getting money and power, but some think it’s a better education, finding love, and happiness.
It’s an illusion for the people that are far away. But the ones that are living it in reality get disappointed, because is not what they expect it will be. They lose their hope and they think they will never accomplish that dream.
Gatsby is the one that thought “The American Dream” was getting money and power so he didn’t had what he really wants (Daisy) so I think he was wrong about “The American Dream”, it wasn’t about money and power to succeed in life I guessed he was wrong about the way he wanted to succeed.
I think the events that lead up to Gatsby's death it was when he got rich and powerful. He didn’t see the other side other “The American Dream”. He was so confident that he never knew he’ll end up killed.

Laura Hernandez Final Exam
Every person has an American Dream. To most people their American Dream is to come to the united state and live a better life than they had before. People come because in the United States they get a lot of freedom and the right to do pretty much anything that is not illegal.
U.S. citizens in America don’t realize how much freedom, money and a better future the have from the rest of the world. On the other hand people who don’t have what U.S. citizens have think they should move to the united state to get the opportunity succeed. Illegal Aliens risk their life trying to succeed in the United States to obtain their American Dream.
Fahrenheit 451 is not related to The American Dream in any way. In the book they don’t have the right to do anything. People tell them what they have to do and how to do it. They didn’t have the right to read books or have a book in their possession. If they where found with a book the firemen would destroy their property. Many peoples American dream is to be a writer.
In my opinion this book was bogoose, it was probably written by someone whose dreams got destroyed, and decided to write about how unfair things can be. Or maybe the publisher just wants to show people the rights that people “take for granted”; it all really depends on how you see the ultimate goal, which for some it’s to accomplish their unique “American Dream”.

My topic is on The American Dream. I will be comparing it to The Great Gatsby.
The two books are very similar because the both have to do with respect, freedom and money.
In the great Gatsby book, Gatsby wants respect because but never had it because he was poor. As Gatsby got rich no one would give him respect because they knew his money was dirty. The higher class men would of respected him if his money was earned in an honest way.
Gatsby was a poor man with many dreams. There was only one that always dreamed for, which was the American dream. Because he was poor he couldn’t marry daisy, even though he wanted to. Gatsby becomes a boot legger, and makes dirty money. So no one respects him.
Freedom has a lot to do with the book. Gatsby never had freedom. The always tried to hide from the police so he wouldn’t get caught. In the end people believed that Myrtle killed Gatsby. But Gatsby gets shot and dies. Gatsby’s American Dream is now over because he dies.
The American dream is different for everyone. It has to do with the same three things such as money, freedom, and respect. Some people don’t always achieve their dream. Some get more then what they asked for. the Great Gatsby has a lot of good examples of the American dream.

THE AMERICAN DREAM
What do you think what means, “The American Dream”? To me The American Dream means that you should have the opportunity of everything. Like wealth and freedom. And in the book Fahrenheit 451 it does not relate to this.
The American Dream should be that you should have the opportunity for everything. But I think that everyone makes there own American dream. Who ever wants to live poor, does it. And who ever wants to live rich does it also. But there are people that have that opportunity and don’t take it.
The American Dream for everyone is mostly wealth, freedom, and fame. Like for me is fame because I want to be remembered in the future and forever. Also the money is the most one to have. So I can give my family everything.
In Fahrenheit 451 it does not relate to the American dream. Why? Because people don’t have the choice to read a book. They don’t have the freedom to do so.

The American Dream
My topic is going to be on the American dream. How this American dream has to do with the book the great Gatsby. How money, respect, and freedom all come together in this book.
In the great Gatsby, Gatsby is a poor man. He wants to get married with daisy, but she doesn't because he is poor. Gatsby then becomes a bootlegger. He starts getting money and becomes rich. money has to do a lot in this book because they all want money and be rich.
After Gatsby became rich he wants respect. All the higher class man get to know him, but they still don't have respect for him. all the other man didn't have respect for him because they knew that his money was dirty money. they knew that they got there money in a good way.
Freedom never really came to Gatsby. Gatsby was always trying not to get caught by the police. At the end of the book they accused him of killing Myrtle. Gatsby then gets shoot and dies. Gatsby's dream and the American dream is all over.
I think this book describes the American dream good. To every one their American dream is different, but in some way is the same things money, respect, and freedom. the American dream does not always come true because things always get in the way.
