Raymond Vargas - Final Exam

The AmericanDream can be anything. But it is usually money. If you were to ask someone about the American Dream, they will tell you it's money. If you were to read The Great Gatsby, you will find that in there.

The idea of the American Dream was written down in The Great Gatsby. it shows how some rich people have to go to great lengths to get money. Gatsby had to get money to try and get Daisy Buchanan. He had to do many things for the money he had at the end.

The American Dream is more of an illusion because not everyone can get money like the rich. Some people actually kill themselves while trying to accomplish it. Even if it wasn't an illusion, not everyone succeeds.

The Great Gatsby is a great example on why the American Dream is an illusion. Gatsby got all the money and stuff, but couldn't get Daisy back. He eventually was murdered by Wilson because of what Tom told him. After that, everything goes back to like if nothing happened.
