I Love Money

Gatsby through our new literary lense, Clash of Class, I was able to understand the social divide that is very apparent throughout the novel. Often times The Great Gatsby is looked at as a love story, but there is much more to the historic novel than just love. The Clash of Class lense looks deeper, beyond money and power, into the novel and required me to really explore the differences between East Egg( Old money) and West Egg (New Money). Money is a defining quality throughout The Great Gatsby in

Nick to his friend Meyer Wolfsheim. One of the most strange details of Mr. Wolfsheim was the strange decorated buttons on his jacket evidenced when Wolfsheim said ‘’I see your looking at my cuff buttons….. Finest specimens of human molars.”(Fitzgerald, 72). A human molar on a jacket is possibly one of the strangest/disgusting things I have heard to be on someone’s jacket.

I want to work hard to have a good salary per year. It means I will have to make the enough money where I will not struggle with bills and finances. My goal is to coach professional baseball after I am done playing. I will make around $15,000 per month if everything works out well. I like to think big because I am an ambitious person

“That locality is always vaguely disquieting, even in the broad glare of afternoon, and now I turned my head as though I had been warned of something behind.

The eyes of Doctor T.J Eckleberg watches over all the characters while they live in what they consider the “American dream”

situations throughout the film. The Younger family which Hansberry focuses on is a black family struggling with poverty, yet dreaming of possessing a lifestyle far more promising. This covers two of the main themes of the film which I believe are the concepts of dreams and money.

I would like to pursue a career as an architectural drafter and a drafting engineer. The Prairie Meadows Scholarship would help me financially and it would make it easier to pay off student loans after college. This is my dream job. I love taking architectural and engineer drafting classes at school. My parents always told me to get a job that I would enjoy so I would be happy to go to work.
