This novel shows how the “American Dream” is about having fun, being rich, living life with no worries, and having whatever you wish for (source A). In this novel it shows how Gatsby got rich through selling illegal alcohol and reaching his dreams to be rich and live the “American Dream”. This influence people to sell or participate in illegal stuff in order to be rich and live the life. Until this day, people still believe that the “American Dream” is about being rich and living the life with no worries. People still believe this because people live up to these standards not knowing that it is just made up. This novel also shows all the up and downs of the United States by using Gatsby’s life.
