Fitzgerald's Use Of Allusions In The Great Gatsby

Fitzgerald’s book The Great Gatsby was published at 1925s it was the year of the bestseller, the book uses allusions and symbolisms to present a dramatic story. The book describes accurate 20s society people’s life and the dark side. In some people's eyes, The Great Gatsby uses beautiful literary devices tells people a deeply meaningful story. There are also some people consider characters are not fully developed make it to a readable book. However, I think this is a terrible book because the 20s America is a symbol of American Dream but The Great Gatsby twists it. So, in my opinion, The Great Gatsby ruins the America can bring wealth to you this image and despises the American Dream, throughout the Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby is a terrible book. For example, Fitzgerald grows up in 20s society he sees how corrupted government and police department are, they barely take money to cover criminals. This example illustrates it:

We slowed down. Taking a white card from his wallet, he waved it before the man’s eyes. “Right you are,” agreed on the policeman, tipping his cap. “Know you next time, Mr. Gatsby. Excuse me.” “What was that?” I inquired. “The picture of Oxford?” “I was able to do the commissioner a favor once, and he sends me a Christmas card every year” (Fitzgerald 72). On this example, Nick and Gatsby speed up, and Gatsby shows a white card then the police let them leave. Police ignore the car over speed which shows in this society, government surrender money and power; where are justice and law, if everyone is like Gatsby and police then the order will not exist. This is not the America that people want to see because they will be disappointed to the American Dream this will not what we want to see. Therefore, I do agree that The Great Gatsby is a terrible
