C.+Gatsby+Essay

“that everybody has a fair chance to succeed” (seelyee 2). In the novel everyone can do what they want to become successful. Gatsby really wants Daisy but she is married to tom. The quote describes this situation, because even though she is married, he still tries to get her, but in the end he does not get her. The novel as a whole describes the American dream, because the majority of the people in the novel have money. In the old days, the American dream was to have money, for some people today that still is the dream. The quote is “it is the funniest thing old sport” (Gatsby 97). I choose this quote because the novel really is funny I say that because Gatsby and everyone else want to achieve something.
