#5 personal review
F. Scott Fitzgerald’s the Great Gatsby was a not very typical because how it ends and the way nothing works out. The best part I believe was hat Gatsby had a schedule for success. This schedule allowed him to have success but did not let him achieve what he wanted the most, Daisy’s love. The schedule was supposed to be the key and shows that if one sets their mind to something they can achieve it. Gatsby’s dad having the schedule shows how success can have a jaw dropping effect and allows others to want the same thing. Another thing that was good was the American Dream in a way that is not stereotypical now days. This idea of new money is not that old and shows the uniqueness of America as a Whole. America’s image in this book illustrates the reasons why so many people have desired to come to this country but is also portrayed as a fake because things are not always as they seem. Gatsby’s whole live is built on this idea and realizes that his “American Dream” was not a dream but a wish that would never become true.

Good personal review of the story. The recognition of the American dream being a wish that will never come true is important to the story, and you did a good job explaining that, so great job overall.
