My Thoughts on The G

The Great Gatsby is one of the most famous American novels, and after reading it, I have many deep feelings about dreams, love and wealth. The main character Gatsby is a poor man who falls deeply in love with a rich girl Daisy. To win her back, he works hard and becomes wealthy. He buys a big house and holds big parties every week, just hoping Daisy will appear one day. For many years, he keeps his simple and sincere dream in his heart. However, the ending is very sad. Daisy is selfish and shallow. She enjoys Gatsby’s love and wealth but chooses her rich and cruel husband in the end. She even lets Gatsby take the blame for her mistake, which finally causes Gatsby’s death. Sadly, almost no one attends Gatsby’s funeral after all his grand parties. This book tells me a true lesson. Wealth cannot bring real happiness and true love. Gatsby’s dream is beautiful, but it is based on a wrong person and the vain rich world. The so-called “American dream” in the story is actually empty for many people. In my opinion, Gatsby is a tragic but respectable person. He is loyal and persistent to his dream. This book makes me understand that we should chase real and valuable dreams, instead of pursuing empty vanity and illusory love. True happiness never comes from money or fake glory.
