However, until recently have I got the time and mood to read it. As soon as I finish reading, I find my previous unwarranted assumption of it totally wrong.This i
2、s a story about Gatsby and his pursuit for the American dreams。 During the World War One, the poor soldier Gatsby fell in love with an upper class girl named Daisy. But due to the wide gap between them, Daisy decided to marry Tom, a man of her class, instead of Gatsby. Broken-hearted Gatsby then hel
3、d the conviction that money was of the greatest importance. He strongly believed in the American dreams, which as we all know, advocates that one can achieve whatever he or she likes through continuous efforts. He strived for five years to become a millionaire and bought a villa near Daisys to attra
4、ct her. He was too addicted to his fantasy to realize that Daisy was no longer the lovely girl she used to be. Eventually, he was killed because of her crime.After reading it, something reverberates in my heart. I cant help thinking of the theme Fitzgerald trying to convey. One thing may be the lone
5、ly void of peoples spiritual world. I am deeply impressed by chapter 3, where a vivid description of a party is given. There were beautiful girls, drunk men, and boisterous crowds there, but none of them perceived the pointless of their lives and the barren of their minds. To see this phenomenon dee
6、per, there were two circumstances underlying it. The first is the lack of dreams. Some people, especially the people of the upper class, lived an aimless life. They wasted their time and money and took an indifferent attitude towards life.They chased for temporary ecstasy but lost their identity in
7、eternity, namely Daisy and Tom. The second is the misleading of dreams. Some others like Gatsby, bravely pursued their dreams, yet going to a diverged way unconsciously. They might mix up the concept of a richer life and a happier life, viewing a higher social state and a peaceful fulfilled life as
8、equality. Unfortunately, when they were busy chasing their dreams, everything changed with time. When they were anxious about the to-gets, they ignored what they had already had and lost the alert to the constant changes. The excellent use of symbolization illustrates this idea perfectly. The imager
9、y of green light is the most important symble which occurred three times in the novel. The green-lights obscure in the mist indicates the dim of Gatsbys dreams.As far as I am concerned, this story can serve as a reminder for us. To live a meaningful life, we should carefully choose some dreams to pu
10、rsue. And in the process of fulfilling our dreams, we should always be concious about what we really desire. Anyhow, only by pursuing the proper dreams can we finally get to the deep springs of happiness.There is a dream,rooted deeply in every American,from the very beginning of theMayFlower,that th
11、e great grandfathers of all Americans had been contemplatingand seeking,and of all Americans that has been written in the second sentence of theUnited States Declaration of Independence which states that "all men are created equal" and that they are "endowed by their Creator with cert
12、ain inalienable Rights" including "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness."The American Dream , is a belief that as long as the United States after a hard struggle will be able to achieve the ideal of a better life, that is, people have to work through their own hard work, courage
13、, creativity and determination to move towards Prosperity,rather than rely on specific social classes and other assistance. This is usually on behalf of the people in the economic success or entrepreneurial spirit.Yet, the dream has already became a nightmare,that in the money-orienting,power-persui
14、ng minds springing up since the Industry Revolution,Americans have fallen in,not only the way of life through which Americans rifling for more luxurious enjoyment, but the morality of heart that they persued prosperity with all costs of which they were oblivious.Luckly,we had people who saw the real
15、ity much more clearly than the blind masses,while those were considered Critics ofpointed out that many versions of the dream equate prosperity with happiness, and that happiness may not always be that simple. These critics suggest that the American Dream may always remain tantalizingly out of reach
16、 for some Americans, making it more like a cruel joke than a genuine dream. Fitzgerald was one of them who went the first step that American fiction has taken since Henry James, because he depicted the extolled grandest and most boisterous, reckless and merry-making scene()。It was five years that Fi
17、tzgerald foreseen the latent fatal cancer of Capitalism of American. The Great Gatsby soon came into being,in which first half is comedy,second half isthe third-person view,Nike, who learns that his next-door neighbor, who throws lavish parties hosting hundreds of people, is the wealthy, mysterious
18、Jaythe key charactor ,Gatsby, had fallen in love with Daisy in 1917 as an Army Lieutenant stationed near Daisy's hometown, Louisville. After the war, Gatsby came east and bought his mansion near Daisy and Tom, where he hosts parties hoping she willthen Gatsby was a man of integrity and honor,who
19、 received great respect form the society to his wealth andafter his death,he was merely remembered,forgottern in the flew of time and lust. These parties were fashionable, but pointless. It was only a show-off of Gatsbys riches and material success. The crowds hardly knew their host; many came and w
20、ent without invitation.The music, the laughter and the faces, all blurred as one confused mass, showed the purposelessness and the loneliness of the party-goers beneath their marks of relaxation and joviality. All this was typical of “the Jazz Age”, when many people lost belief in American dream and
21、 indulge themselves in drinking and dancing. The great expectations which the first settlement of the American continent brings vanish, and so despair and doom sethis blue gardens, men and girls came and went like moths among the whisperings and the champagne and the starsOn week-ends his Rolls-Royc
22、e became an omnibus, bearing parties to and from the city between nine in the morning and long past midnight, while his station wagon scampered like a brisk yellow bug to meet all trains. And on Mondays eight servants, including an extra gardener, toiled all day with mops and scrubbing-brushes and h
23、ammers and garden-shears, repairing the ravages of the night before.“Every Friday five crates of oranges and lemons arrived from a fruiterer in New York-every Monday these same oranges and lemons left his back door in a pyramid of pulpless halves.” (Chapter 3, 52)The exavagent life, the noisy people
24、 constitute Gatsbys parties. However, the depiction of the fashionable and meaningless parties served to highlight Gatsbys tragedy by contrasting the grandeur of his party with his violent death, with the frustration of his dream. Gatsbys funeral was rather deserted and cheerless compared with his p
25、arties. Its a record of human coldness. Nick had invited some people to come to Gatsbys funeral. These people were all Gatsbys so-called friends. They found a lot of excuses for their absence because they knew clearly that Gatsby was no longer useful for them. Gatsbys generous parties had not brough
26、t him even one friend. Whats more, Daisy, once Gatsbys lover, the real killer, “hadnt sent a message or a flower”。(Chapter 9, 233)The sharp contrast between the exavagence of the parties and the coldness of the funeral revealed the hypocritical relationship among people and the moral degradation of
27、the Jazz Age.Gatsby, though his wealth came from his criminal activities,was the typical symbol of American dream in that time,and the whole-hearted dedication of Gatsby and his sincere belief in what he did made him heroic, and this submerged the unpleasant details so that they did not seem importa
28、nt in the final outcome,as has the American dreammer who were so stubborn to believe perspirition would bring what they want.The real killer who murderred Gatsby was the society,in which people could become rich overnight by non-moralpoor beautiful girl could marry a wealthy boy who may not be hands

30、rcy. The cruel reality smashed Gatsbys dream. Fitzgeralds comment on the failure of Gatsbys dream was also a statement on the failure of American dream. The contrast of the dream and the reality significantly indicated a moving away from faith and hope in a world where material interests had driven out sentimentality and faith. What is more, dream, even if it persists, is utterly helpless and defenseless against a material society. It can o
