Please support your comments with examples from the novel.Jay Gatsby is the hero in the American classic The Great Gatsby.In the novel, the "American Dream" a lot of connections and wealth, and dreams. First, you need a dream, then you can start working. Gatsby is an example of his dream is to chrysanthemum back, but he can not just go to the chrysanthemum, and asked her to come back, he needs the money. He has to earn a lot of money, as we said before the "American Dream" is all the money. I think that money is the most important part, because at that time, you can not have no money to do, this is how people value each other, or even love is no exception. Therefore, I think the dream is money involved. Time relationship to money and dreams, because in the novel, no one can achieve what is not, such as Gatsby spent the money of the five-year revenue in Chapter 3, when he met Nick, he said he spent three years to make money, to buy his house, so we can see that time as well as the other two. American dream, represents power, wealth, dreams, hard work, courage, seems like a prosperous country is getting better and better way, but behind it is incredible. people are not honest, they pay more attention and money of all, I think the worst thing is not inside glad, even if they are rich. society is very rough, because people do not honest labor value than some people are doing illegal business like Bill Gates, because people with money to judge each other, "old money" is very arrogant, they consider themselves better than others, obviously rich is good, but In my opinion, there is something more valuable than money in the community.

"Another good example, I think the daisies, if Jordan is stationary, then she is absolutely emotional, she cherishes and money people, just like in the 1920s, other girls. This is almost the same as boys, Tom and Gatsby They also believe that if they have the money, they will get everything they want, in Chapter 7 Tom Gatsby believes that he despised Gatsby, "because he believes that he is not born in a wealthy family, he made the illegal business, Gatsby believes that as long as he can make money, it does not matter the money come from. In the fourth chapter, Nick said: "I am one of the few honest people I have referred to as" this may be evidence of the "American Dream" is actually very bad. In the third chapter, the authors use the green light on behalf of the "American Dream", the color green means hope, but eventually die because Gatsby, "American Dream" is also dead4.
