The+American+Dream+of+Wealth-Reflection

The American dream, it's what pushes many to travel to America and those who are in America to work their hardest every day. Although there are many dreams a person can have, the most prevalent in America is attaining wealth and power. But, what most people don't realize is that just because you have attained fame and fortune does not mean your life will be instantly fixed. Many people would think if they had enough money they would be happy, they would be able to forget about all of their problems. But, our problems follow us, no matter what amount of wealth you achieve, your problems will always be there to haunt you. Gatsby fell victim to this and in the end did not get what he wanted most, his beloved, Daisy. Americans must be aware of our tendency to use money to solve our problems, because in the end the problems/hardships we tried to make go away by gaining wealth and power will catch up with us. I wanted to show the American dream of wealth through some luxurious objects, but the problems we can still face even with our wealth.
