<span>Jay Gatsby is intended to be the symbol of the American Dream, he was a poor man who came up from nothing and now owns a mansion on the water to throw the most lavish parties. All this money and material is incomparable and unable to fill the void of his deepest want--Daisy. But people are not included in the American Dream, and F Scott Fitzgerald leaves a person at the center of Gatsby's fixation because she is unobtainable, and those who wish to pursue the American Dream may not get all that they desire.

Explanation:
"Merry-Go-Round" is a poem written by Langston Hughes. The poem is centered on the theme of racial segregation due to Jim Crow's section law.
The law disabled the colored people to mix with the whites, and created a separate section, at the back for all blacks, whether be it a train or a bus. But the child in this poem, the speaker, ask the carousel operator questions <em>"Where to sit?", </em>as there is no back in the merry-go-round.
The carousel operator may give the child a stern reply because he is from the North.
