This is the power of the american dream that once was so great. It inspired awe and motivation in countless individuals. It was the lifeblood of america.

The american dream is dying, and even in the eyes of god (Dr. Eckleburg) do we need to save ourselves from our own lack of ambition.

"I wouldn't ask too much of her," I ventured. "You can't repeat the past."
"Can't repeat the past?" he cried incredulously. "Why of course you can!"
He looked around him wildly, as if the past were lurking here in the shadow of his house, just out of reach of his hand." (110)

The american dream of the past hos long been dead, but many have already replaced it. It is now the time to create a new dream that all can aspire to achieve together.

"Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's no matter—tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther.... And then one fine morning—So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past." (180)

The green light is the american dream. Though many of us still believe in it, without any action, it will remain out of our reach for many generations to come.

But I didn't call to him for he gave a sudden intimation that he was content to be alone—he stretched out his arms toward the dark water in a curious way, and far as I was from him I could have sworn he was trembling. Involuntarily I glanced seaward—and distinguished nothing except a single green light, minute and far away, that might have been the end of a dock. (20-21)

The green light is the american dream. Even if we were to swim across the bay to find it, we could never reach it, for it is in the past. If only we were to look to the future to find what will be in store, rather than dwelling on what has already failed.

You may look at this and say that its sad how the "kids these days" don't get to experience the same wonder that we got to, but all they know is what we need to know: how to dream in despair.

Even is times of such little dreams, of such little joy, and of such great despair, "There is always hope".

Children have the power to wee anything in a bright light; they can turn anything into whimsy. They play better then we ever dreamed we could.

# data[].attributes.body
Adults don't let kids live their own dreams, they're too busy beating the future over the head with old knowledge to even give the future a chance to be something. Restricting their creativity is why the american dream is dying

# data[].attributes.body
While many people may call kids stupid or inexperienced we could all stand to learn a lesson of how to just let go of our troubles for once, and finally be free to dream.

We might be to afraid of standing out to do something new or different, even if it makes more sense. We have to stand up for each other to give everyone the ability to live their dreams

There are people out there with their own visions of the american dream, but many of them just aren't in any position to do anything. If we work together we can inspire change anywhere.

# data[].attributes.body
Even though we strip nature of its right to its land, we can still dream big. We can still make a difference even if we don't get anything out of it.

# data[].attributes.body
If we want to live the fabled 'american dream' then we need to take a stand and stand out, even if we have to do so alone.

# data[].attributes.body
The american dream has been fading away because there's nobody doing anything about it; we need another great man to start another great revolution.

# data[].attributes.body
The right place to look for dreams is not back, but forward. We need to evolve the american dream for those that it will impact the most, because they're the ones who need it the most.

# data[].attributes.body
Many, MANY people have completely given up on achieving the american dream. They all instead hope that joy comes through monetary success or fame.

# data[].attributes.body
We must inspire the american dream's revitalization through love, not war. If we fight for something that is simple and just, then there should be no man to rise against us.
