While sitting down to read chapter six and seven in the Great Gatsby today, I looked back and remeber how on friday Mr. Bolos excentuated the point about if Gatsby is a symbol of America? And i just feel with two such interesting chapters to talk about dreams, and the purpose of life and love; I hate the topic of if Gatsby is a symbol of America. I'm assumising hear that Mr. Bolos/O'Connor want this question to bring up to point of the american dream and it's relevance and yada yada blah blah if you can or can't climb the social ladder. While thinking back on how to really think about Gatsby I'm kinda confused on what to think because in one sense he had all this success and money all for daisey and that is kinda remarkable and honorary but at the same time he lied about his education and up bringing and in my opinion I think money is reallly and always be the main component of social class and if you have enough money you can totally move up.
