The Great Gatsby's Mistakes

“For many, the American Dream has become a nightmare.” is a quote by Bernie Sanders. In the novel “The Great Gatsby” by F. Scott Fitzgerald there was a character named Gatsby that wanted to reach the American Dream but he never made it. The death of Gatsby confirms what we already secretly knew that the American Dream is nothing but the hope that sustains the hopeless. This statement is true with the events that occurred in the book. Gatsby dream was to have lots of money and to be with Daisy. Gatsby shows throughout the book and to his very end that even with all the hope he will not get his dream.

“The only people you have to look out for in life are the people that don’t care about anything or anyone” (Alde). In The Great Gatsby by, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Tom and Daisy are just those people that are not to be trusted. They have no regard for other’s feelings and live life without facing the consequences. Tom and Daisy show that they are careless people through their insensitive, thoughtless and selfish acts.

Cheating, spending, killing, although wealth seems glorious it comes with its consequences and some choose to face them and others don't. In the book the Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald the statement “wealth breeds carelessness” is greatly supported, the two characters who portray this the most is Tom and Daisy Buchanan. As both Tom and Daisy cheat on one another they have no regard for those they are cheating with, on or even those around the cheating. When the book progresses it becomes overwhelmingly clear that the only thing that either of them truly care for is money. Finally as the book comes to an end and their problems grow more great they use their wealth to escape and because it's so easy to get away fro their problem becomes so small to them although it's extremely great.

The movie begins with Nick Carraway in a psychiatric hospital receiving treatment for alcoholism, insomnia, anxiety, and fits of anger. He talks to his doctor about Jay Gatsby the most hopeful man he had ever met. His doctor suggests that he writes all he has to say down to make discussing it easier.

Everyone in the world always wants something. It can range from food to cars, but there is always flaws in what they want. The main flaw is always money. Nobody ever has enough money they always need more until it corrupts them. That is why it is called the american dream because it's all dream. If their dream comes true there is always a downfall with it. Most people think you need money to be happy and most people don't find out that it is not true. F. Scott Fitzgerald shows in the book The Great Gatsby that the american dream is all about money and is corrupting everybody.

One of the main reasons for Gatsby’s death was himself. He had one major flaw that brought his whole life to ruin. Even though Gatsby could’ve prevented his own death, Myrtle and Tom were also big causes that led to it.

America's most culturally influential period of all time, the 1920s, produced hundreds of timeless pieces of literature, each one capturing a new light, a new view of the marketed “American Dream.” Distinctively, the product of F. Scott Fitzgerald, one of the most well known authors from America's ‘Roaring 20s’, The Great Gatsby, has stood out from the rest. Not only has this classic become more apparent with time but has revealed a realistic picture of the carelessness of the upper class in this era. Expressing this in depth outlook Fitzgerald uses his characters George Wilson, Myrtle Wilson, and more complex, Jay Gatsby.

The Great Gatsby is a story about love and carelessness, as represented by two characters: Tom and Daisy. Throughout this story, we learn about their true personalities. We are introduced to a enormously wealthy married couple who comes from old money. They come off as a kind, fun-loving couple, and respectful of each other and friends. Although they have money, they don’t seem to use it as a vehicle to lord themselves over other people.

     In the novel entitled The Great Gatsby by F Scott Fitzgerald, Jay Gatsby is at times made out to be better than us. At first glance he is sophisticated, using big words and claiming that he is an 'Oxford man.'; But when we look closer we can easily see that this man is a farce. Much of this man has been shrouded in mystery. We know very little about his past until later in the book. We don't know where he was born, who his parents are, or where all of his money came from. He frequently disappears form Nick's view seemingly without a trace. All of these things make him out to be somebody of real importance but by looking closely we can gather an abundance of evidence to the contrary.

The Great Gatsby The Great Gatsby was written by F. Scott Fitzgerald (formerly known as Frances Scott Fitzgerald.) Fitzgerald was an American novelist and short story author. Much like Jay Gatsby Fitzgerald lived and prospered in the 1920’s also known as the Jazz Age. Fitzgerald wrote “The Great Gatsby” to display everyday life among Upper and Middle Class white americans during the rebellious jazz age. In one scene Nick tells Gatsby “‘They’re a rotten crowd’; i shouted across the lawn.

Batman's first robin, Dick Grayson, witnessed the death of his parents right in front of him just like he had so he decided to take him under his wing and help him sort out his feelings before he began to live a life of revenge. There are a number of ways to help a child through a traumatic situation but having him fight crime and potentially getting him killed isn't one of them. Although it isn't a sign of mental issues, it is a sign of bad judgement which could mean that some of his decisions may have been in poor judgement. Ever since the appearance of Robin in comics many people such as Frederick Wertham have questioned whether or not the relationship between Batman and Robin had a sexual relationship but it is later resolved when the

By no means is “The Great Gatsby” a disaster: Even at its most shallow, the film rescues Jay Gatsby as a largely sympathetic, romantic figure rather than a cynically ironic one. But neither is it necessary. Childlike, fetishistic and painfully literal, Luhrmann’s experiment proves once again that it’s Fitzgerald’s writing — not his plot, his characters or his grasp of material detail — that has always made “Gatsby” great.

Francis Scott Fitzgerald wrote many works of literature including one of his best sellers, The Great Gatsby. The Great Gatsby was considered to be the depiction of The Roaring Twenties, and one of the best American novels ever written. During this time, The Roaring Twenties doubled the nation's wealth, which allowed more people to be rich. This wealth caused a split between social classes. The ones who had their American Dream, and the ones who did not. With its beautiful lyricism, pitch-perfect portrayal of the Jazz Age, and searching critiques of materialism, love and the American Dream, The Great Gatsby is considered Fitzgerald's finest work (biography.com).

The Great Gatsby is a 1925 novel written by F. Scott Fitzgerald. The book trials Nick Caraways as he moves to New York city in the made-up town of West Egg on Long Island in the summer of 1922. The book is mainly focused on the young, charming and mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby and his underlying love for the beautiful Daisy Buchanan. The book takes place in a generation of loosening morals, glittery jazz, drinking, parties and glam. Nick chasing his own American dream, he finds himself next to Gay Gatsby house, and across the bay from his cousin Daisy and her womanizer husband, Tom Buchanan. Nick becomes drawn to the world of the super-rich. The Great Gatsby analyses themes of love, social changes, irony and excess, creating the picture of the jazz age that has been described as a cautionary tale about the American dream.

I remember it just like I remember yesterday .I was seventeen my mom woke me up that morning ’’Shatima wake up, school”. I laid there for about 5 minute feeling tired; not wanting to get up. My mom comes back in the room and says’’ get up child now, time for school”. I stayed laying there in the bed feeling like I could not move. Ten minutes later my mom came back and said “Shatima if you do not get your behind out that bed”. I took a deep breath. I got up slowly; though feeling like I was hit by a bus, ran over by a train and then buried under three hundred tons of sand .If you could imagine that; I was exalted .I got ready for school, left out the house went to school,. I was sitting in my math class. In room 201 the teacher was Mr. Johnson, sudden my heart felt like it was racing, the palms of my hand began to sweat. The room was spinning and then the room went black.
