What is the American
Dream? Is it attainable? Are the characters in TTG living the American Dream?
In TTG there are two different American dreams shown. Tom
and Daisy Buchanan represent one dream. Their American dream revolved around
reputation and their riches. The character Jay Gatsby represented the other
American dream shown in the book. His American dream was based off of hope,
love, and being flashy with the things he owned. Because two American dreams
are shown throughout the book, I would say the characters are living their own
versions of the American dream. However, the American dream represented by Tom
and Daisy Buchanan seems like the more common American dream. I believe that
both dreams are attainable. With hard work and good charisma the Buchanan’s
American dream could be achievable. Also Gatsby’s American dream is attainable
if you once again work hard and have a certain passion for life.
