It is a difficult dream for the European upper classes to interpret adequately, and too many of us ourselves have grown weary and mistrustful of it. It is not a dream of motor cars and high wages merely, but a dream of social order in which each ma n and each woman shall be able to attain to the fullest stature of which they are innately capable, and be recognized by others for what they are, regardless of the fortuitous circumstances of birth or position." -James Truslow Adams=

"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past." ** The Great Gatsby (180)

He had come a long way to this blue lawn, and his dream must have seemed so close that he could hardly fail to grasp it. He did not know that it was already behind him." The Great Gatsby (180) http://totheroots.files.wordpress.com/2007/04/american-dream-is-over.jpg Courtesy of Google The American Dream is close to being dead. We see that it is sure not what we expected. Like Gatsby's Dream, he realized there was never a reality; what he expected never came. Instead he got nothing, and got killed for his dream. He dream was over. Like in this picture, some American Dreams are over, but mostly, more and more people are realizing there is no dream, or what we once thought it was, is now getting away from our actual grip. Instead, we can never grab onto the dream. We are like Gatsby, and "Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us..."
