了不起的盖茨比

After reading the Great Gatsby, I feel that the green light of life is often like this. The persistence and pure yearning for dreams support us. But it's not the case when we get close, but we've tried. Although it was just passing by. But we don't regret it.Although the length of this book is not long, the prelude of the story is a test of patience. After reading the first half of the story, the book began to show its unique power. I think the theme of the Great Gatsby is the disillusionment of love, the annihilation of morality and the doomed extinction of the times. Fitzgerald describes the lost generation's vision of American dream after the first World War in a sad and desolate style, and the helplessness and sorrow of the disillusionment of the dream after being hit by reality. The United States made great fortune in the first World War and became the country with the greatest profit in the war. At that time, the United States, science and technology and economic development, the "outbreak" emerged endlessly. But it was also because of the excessive expansion of economy that made people become blind believers of money first, and people were infatuated with the erotic life of the high-class people, the sound and the sound of the night Sheng song.

One thing I have to mention about this book is the "American Dream"“ The "American Dream" advocated that anyone in the United States, whether born noble or poor, could have a better life and get everything they want through their hard work, unremitting efforts and tireless pursuit of dreams. However, with the development of the times and the blind worship of consumerism, this appeal, which was originally full of positive energy, gradually lost its original flavor. People's definitions of "a better life" gradually diverged. In the later stage, it completely evolved into the vision of the upper class society and the worship of money and luxury. The degenerate "American Dream" was full of people's desire for extravagant life and the extreme pursuit of gorgeous and empty material enjoyment. In this way, having more money and enjoying more abundant material conditions had gradually become the heart of every dreamer. Gatsby's crazy pursuit of daisy in the book, from a certain point of view, actually reflected his pursuit of the upper class society and the materialistic world. It was Gatsby's American dream and his flashy age that finally ruined his life. As mentioned in the guide: "material can't bring happiness or happiness. Life with more money is not a better life. He made great efforts to enter the upper class, just to recover the love lost due to poverty; This is the root of his tragedy and the reason why he deserves respect. "
