The author has very cleverly made the names of the characters correspond

It is understandable for a young man such as Gatsby to attempt to search and work towards gaining the American Dream. However‚ the

Meg Jay: "Why 30 is not the new 20" Notes When Meg Jay states‚ “Forget about an identity crisis and get some identity capital… Do something that adds value to who you are.
