Fitzgerald's message about the American Dream is that it is all disillusionment, meaning fake or not real. In his novel The Great Gatsby, Gatsby throws disillusionment all over the place. He seems like he has friends but when his time comes to have a funeral only one person calls and the person calling just wants his clothing back from Gatsby.
Expressing the meaning of something by using different words which lead to better clarity
The novel was about a boat trip that the narrator took to thames river along with his friends. He goes on rambling about the trip and takes the time to digress or go off topic to tell anecdotes. What was really memorable about the book was the places visited which were described beautifully.
Apparently Jerome got the inspiration from one of his trip to the thames for his honeymoon in 1888, and his experiences provided him the subject material for the novel.
