Geyuchun STEVEN(absolute fake dream)

  American dream, which  supposed to be wonderful and justice, is actually a fake and dishonest illusion for people to achieve. People who reach the goal must be injustice and deceptive because that is the only way to get huge wealth and so-called success. From my point of view, whether people can arrive at American dream has a strong connection with the personalities of the people themselves. What is more, only those who has false and dishonest characteristics are more easily to attain the dream. Otherwise, it will be really hard and tough for people who are justice and decent to reach their goals.
  When we see one specific character from The Great Gatsby, the opinion can be proved by Gatsby who is the main character in the story, chasing for his "American dream" continuously and showing a typical characteristic a successful man should have. As we can see from the novel, Gatsby is poor when he is young so he keeps working and making himself richer and earn more reputation until he becomes famous through the east egg and west egg. However, the approach he gets to wealthy is illegal which is doing drug business. Also, Gatsby once sent the old money person into the jail which is revealed by Tom until the end. Through the novel, we can find that Gatsby is trying to get over and hid his past but he cannot seal up the fact, which illustrates his aspect of dishonest. In Gatsby's mind, he does not want anyone know his past experience because he is self-abasement for his past and he cannot deal with that period of time face to face. Last but not least,  Daisy, who is  the American dream for  Gatsby, is seen as merely wealth. Gatsby compares the woman with wealth, and he is pleased to see many people chasing for Daisy because that can add more value to the woman. It is undeniable that the man loves Daisy so much but he just relates the woman to his wealth, which he thinks is the most significant thing a successful man should own. Therefore, we can get to know the American dream is all about wealth and it is absolute fake and dishonest.
  We can also see one example from Park Avenue which manifests that American dream is ideal and the reality is against the original dream. It is shown that the government published the policy that rich people can have fewer tax which literally destroy the equality of making money. The behaviour of government is definitely injustice which enlarges the gap between the rich and the poor and eliminates the opportunities for poor men to earn money and pursue happiness. The dishonest rule help part of the people who are wealthy to achieve the American dream easily but make the dream impossible for some poor to attain. To conclude, the American dream is an entirely sham and completely lie for the whole people to reach as people can only touch it by dishonest actions.
