He was able to achieve his goals of becoming wealthy, so in one way he did achieve the American Dream, but in another way he wasn't able to get the " Golden Girl" Daisy as he saw it to be his wife. For that reason Gatsby wouldn't total have achieve the dream because he didn't accomplish his most important of goals. ]]> 2023-05-18 14:33:22 UTC https://padlet.com/chukwudioff6763/sln15faf9i8jvkm2/wish/2596355983 chukwudioff6763 https://padlet.com/chukwudioff6763/sln15faf9i8jvkm2/wish/2596365701 This story talks about how paradoxical the American people.

He tells no matter how small people make your dreams and you feel, you should never let them take your dream away. It is a good lesson to the people who believe in coming to America and making something of themselves, and the ones that think it's impossible or that they should just stop dreaming.

The struggles that come from inflation, increased prices, stagnant wages, discrimination, homelessness, and just generally strife it seems that American Dream is really more of fantasy than something that everyone or even most people can obtain.
