Isabel Rivera final exam

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.
