The characters continued to cheat on their spouses, let money become their obsession, and debated the American dream for the hopes of one day obtaining happiness. But the fact remains that they have no true morals or ideals o...

Money and morals and whether you have them or don? t are dominating themes in this novel. Daisy and Tom Buchanan live a life of extreme decadence. They have a beautiful mansion, high status in society, and all thing...

F Scott Fitzgerald Jay Gatsby
568 wordsThe Great Gatsby, a novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald, is set in 1922 in the New York City area. It is about the American Dream and those who attempt to reach its illusionary goals. Jay Gatsby acquires the wealth and the power of his dream but not the happiness. We have to wonder why F. Scott Fitzgerald would write such a book. Was it to reflect the society of the 1920 s: where either you had money and the dream, or you were poor and lived amongst the ashes. You could have the chance of being like th...

Tom Couldnt Stand Demaine Oil Man People
952 wordsOut of the five main characters in the Great Gatsby, I disliked Tom Buchanan the most (however his wife Daisy was a close second). He just didnt seem like he was a nice person, and he also seemed extremely self-absorbed. I dont believe that he and I would choose the same values that we would consider important in guiding our lives. One of Toms important values is wealth. He was very rich and thought that it made him superior to other people. He enjoys showing off his possessions, Ive got a nice ...
