Self absorbed He’s let down when all of his action don’t give him the results he wants.

Part II:
1. The American dream is the common desire to be successful. Every American wants to make a lot of money with a high paying job, and all the luxuries of having money.
2. The media advertisement, salaries, and society match my definition because students and adults work as hard as they can get into the best schools, the best paying jobs, and all the luxuries of having money.
3.
Elements That Make Up Jay Gatsby's American Dream What is Wrong With Gatsby's Concept of the Dream or The Way He Attempts to Attain It
1. Lying He shouldn’t lie to get what he wants.
2. Being rich He didn’t work for it.
3. Woman of his dreams She only wants him for the money
4. His house, car, and servants Only to make him look good
5. Fake friends Use him for his house and money.
4. Life shouldn’t be all about buying happiness. If Daisy wanted to be with him an he had real friends it should be because of his personality because of his fortune.
5. "I see now that this has been a story of the West, after all-Tom and Gatsby, Daisy and Jordan and I, were all Westerners, and perhaps we possessed some deficiency in common which made us subtly inadaptable to Eastern life."
Part III:
“I found out what your ‘drug stores’
