    The American Dream is something that foreign people look for when they come to the United States. The American Dream in this story , it’s about being Wealthy and elegant . Gatsby chased  his dream to become rich enough for Daisy .  As we read in the story many of these Wealthy people were bad .                                                                      Tom Buchanan was a total douche bag . We had everything , he was very rich . But Gatsby became rich because he was dealing with illegal trafficking , like selling alcohol in drugstores . All he wanted was Daisy’s love but it all went down .                                  The American Dream can be dangerous .                     In the end “  So we beat on , boats against the current borne ceaselessly into the past .” No matter what he had in the past  , everything reflects back to the present times . This relates to Gatsby . He comes from a poor family as he moves away .                                                   

        One time my brother and I were just walking around a parking lot. And all of a sudden, we found a  $100 bill on the ground. We both started fighting over the $100. We ran back to our house and our parents told us to share the money or split it 50-50. I was so selfish that I was about to run away from my brother, but my parents stopped me. My parents told me that I have to start sharing my stuff with my brother. So what my parents were trying to say is that I need to share to those who are in need, espically my brother.
