~X{Gatsby's American Dream}X~
In the book "the great Gatsby" it illustrates to the reader that if your American dream is to achieve wealth and fame. that you need only to seek it and it will come
For example, in the book, Gatsby searches to obtain wealth in order to gain the attention and affection of his love interest. Gatsby ended up making a portion of his dream come true by attaining wealth and becoming a playboy of sorts. However, the book also depicted the dark side of the American dream (If I will) because Gatsby ended up not getting the girl and he was shot and killed which I hear is not that fun...
In my opinion not everyone can achieve the American dream like Gatsby did. because in order to attain fame and fortune in the real world you have to be good at something, have some type of talent (and in all honesty not everyone is that talented).
so, In conclusion It is next to impossible to achieve the American dream of having vast amounts of wealth (which is most every one's dream) if you are not at least talented. the exception, of course, would be those lucky few (cough, cough Youtube, cough) so even though is is sort of an illusion of the American dream it is a good read if your bored.
