The Most Remembered and Most Often Quoted Statement
<em>The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. </em>I think that every American is well aware of the Gettysburg Address. They may not remember much about anything anyone else said, but we all remember the contents of Lincoln's remarks. It is taught in almost every school and at every grade level (nearly). It is as unAmerican to claim that no one will remember it as it is to claim that we do not have a democracy anywhere on earth. Not substantiated. At least in Lincoln's case.
<em>that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom.</em> This is the hardest one to make a comment about. It didn't look that way when in 1870 the 15th Amendment was passed. It sounded like slaves and others (Native Americans for one) were granted immediate freedom with the right to vote, but the states had ways of fighting back. It was not until the mid 1960s that this opinion began to be just words on a paper. I'd it was substantiated, but it took generations before you could say it really was so.
<em>That government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. </em>It remains to be seen whether this one is true or not. Great challenges like ahead. I don't think you could say either way.
From my previous ans to ur Q last week:
Daisy is the ultimate status symbol; at least for Gatsby she is. In a way, she IS the American Dream. W<span>hen Daisy and Gatsby reunite and begin an affair, it seems like Gatsby could in fact achieve his goal.
But </span>Daisy refuses to leave Tom and Gatsby is killed by George. With the “strivers” all dead, the old money crowd is safe again. <span>Daisy was born with money and does not need to strive for great wealth or other far-off things from the American Dream.
</span>Nick describes Daisy as “High in a white palace the king’s daughter, the golden girl,” literally considering Daisy as a prize. He also pessimistically says, “you can’t repeat the past”, implying there is but a small window for certain dreams. The dreams cannot be achieved once the window is closed.
Nick is not happy with his family’s respectable fortune and his girlfriend out west. At the end, <span>Nick sadly meditates on the lost promise of the American Dream
</span>
The part on Nick was a little thin - as Nick explains in the book, the American dream was originally about discovery, individualism, and the pursuit of happiness. It has been corrupted by <span>easy money and relaxed social values. Nick</span><span> realized after Gatsby's death: the dream was also about learning from the past.
"On Nick’s last night in the East, he walks over to Gatsby’s mansion. Nick looks out along the beach and wonders what this land was like long ago-when it was a new and unspoiled world. Nick sees the green light. The green light represents the dream. The pure dream that Gatsby had. The purity of the American Dream is something that is in our past. The past of our nation, and in the innocence of our youth.
</span>
Nick realizes that what Gatsby had was the sense of unlimited promise. He possessed The American Dream. An older and wiser Nick returns to the Midwest."
