The Great Gatsby FINAL

There was just one thing that I predicted and it actually came out true, which was that it was a sad book. My prediction, that a person would have big dreams in life and he would not be able to overcome it because of the government, was half correct, because Gatsby did have big dreams but he stopped himself from reaching his goals, not the government.
Gatsby was very successful in reaching the American Dream, because he was a very wealthy person, and everyone dreams to be very rich. He was able to throw parties, buy expensive things, and do many things that many people just DREAM of doing. He was just the person that everyone wished that they were.
Money ruined him!

The Great Gatsby PREDICTION

From looking at the cover of the book and also by the name of the book, The Great Gatsby, I think that this book will be about how some guy has big dreams in his life and he has to overcome some obstacles in order to achieve his goal, but the goals are impossible to overcome. I think that in the book, the government will play a significant role in destroying this persons dreams. The expression that is on the face of the person on the book cover also makes me think that this is just going to be a really sad story.
