The definition of "The American Dream" our some big shoes to fill. As I feel we have made many steps in the right direction I feel we have not met perfection. Manu people face bigger obstacles based upon their race. No doubt we have made leaps from where we were during the time of slavery but that does not mean we have reached equality. In a recent Meta-study (combination of studies from Harvard, Northwestern, and Massachusets)they found that there has been no noticeable change in the level of hiring discrimination against African Americans in the past 25 years. This study shows that "Since 1989, whites receive on average 36% more callbacks than blacks, and 24% more callbacks than Latinos". With these obstacles for certain people it is hard to imagine that the American dream is completely achieved.https://www.forbes.com/sites/eriksherman/2017/09/16/job-discrimination-against-blacks-and-latinos-has-changed-little-or-none-in-25-years/#28f9895851e3

I believe we call it the american dream for a reason. With the base knowledge that The American Dream is an equal platform for all to achieve success we can see why Americans feel to Passionate about this. Looking back at the history of American we see many things that are unjust. Two of the biggest things that come to mind for me is the invasion of the native americans and their home land and slavery. With these past events continually hanging over many americans and their families I feel this specific dream to have equality is specific to america.

The whole book in my opinion is based around a dream. The biggest dream I see is money. Most people in the book have money. You see the struggle of getting money to support yourself and the different obstacles you have to go through to get there. For example Gatsby's parents were poor and he continually worked to earn his living and once he got it he was not afraid to show it off. We can see the gap in equality looking at Tom and how he was born into a rich family an did not work very had to get where he was.

According to google the American dream is "the ideal by which equality of opportunity is available to any American, allowing the highest aspirations and goals to be achieved.". Although we may have our own opinions of what our personal dream is this is "The American Dream"
