Gatsby essay thesis

The American Dream is that every person should have an equal opportunity to achieve success and prosperity. Gatsby's desire for success is clearly evidence of the American Dream and obsession. Gatsby is determined to rekindle his love with Daisy no matter what or who gets in between them. He believes that his money can get him anything he wants. I do believe Gatsby symbolizes our culture and desires because all of us want something but sometimes we just can't have it. Even though some people may have money they still can't get all they want. It's like the old saying, "Money can't buy you happiness."
