Similarities Between The Great Gatsby And Modern Society

The American Dream in Fitzgerald’s Great Gatsby vs. Modern Society 1776: The year America was put into action; the year the dream was born, the American Dream. Today, I believe the dream may be seen innovatively; representing the want for a life full of contentment and the ability to build our own paths in this life. As depicted in Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, the dream was seen as the want for social wealth as well as physical prosperity. Although both Fitzgerald’s view of the American Dream and today’s vision of the American Dream have many similarities, there are still a flock of differences. With these points set aside, I assert myself with modern society’s definition of the “Dream.” As stated above, there are a lot of similarities
