Answer:
F. Scot Fitzgerald critiques the idea of the american dream (like many other classic authors) through the situations of the characters. Jay Gatsby is able to acquire an enormous amount of wealth throughout his life, but he is unable to penetrate the upper class. he ends up being killed after tangling in that crowd for too long possibly mention the context of the 20s. a tumultuous time following WW1, increase in immigration as well as women's rights and the massive economic boom. (with the crash looming in 1929) there was a belief that anyone could 'strike it rich' like Gatsby did. George and myrtle Wilson were middle class people looking to improve their life, and achieve the american dream daisy is the ultimate, perfect example of the american dream. the darkest secret at the end, Gatsby's wealth didn't come from work, it came from a life of crime. Fitzgerald is basically saying american dream is actually a lost promise. also underlying greed strewn throughout the novel, and affairs which tear couples apart.
quote:
'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.'
very key symbol of the green light, and Gatsby reaching out to something (the american dream) that he cannot acquire.
Explanation:
wait nvm. ignore my answer.
Actually, as a writer myself, the rough draft is the second step for writing a story. the first step is an outline of what to include in the story. then its your rough draft after the outline. the rough draft is like the paper but you are aware that you will have to go back and change some stuff. the rough rough drafts do include and introduction paragraph a body, and a conclusion paragraph. writing the rough draft before your actual story the better it will be. all writers do that. a rough draft include everything that your original story will have but the draft will be needing some work. so your rough draft is sort of like a few paragraphs having the main points and ideas. you also wrote description, be careful although details are very important you have to keep in mind too much details in one paragraph is going to be too much. for example, i suffer though this as well, imagine you introduced other characters other than the main character, if you describe what they look like in one paragraph, its not going to be interesting for the reader. so you can, perhaps when that character is talking, you can hint in some details about them!!!
