In the novel, Gatsby�s American Dream could not come true because he missed out on love. He had all the money he could ever want but no love for a woman or a family. He did love Daisy some time ago, but now that she is married to Tom and has a family it would not have worked. Gatsby said �Daisy is leaving you� (Fitzgerald 133) to Tom and then she agrees and Daisy�s says �yes I am.� After they get home she does not even speak to Gatsby wants on American Dream but just cannot have one because the love he had in his life is not there anymore.

In the newspapers article, everyone talks about how the American Dream is about coming up from nothing and getting social status, wealth, and happiness. All the people said they would not give up. Since 44 percent of people actually reached the American Dream, not even half of them have given up on it either. The American Dream does not come easy and people do obtain it.

As times get tougher so do people. �You want to hold to your American Dream even more when times are hard�(Seeyle 1). This means that you have to work hard to get the dream in life because nothing comes easy. Like, Gatsby thought it would be easy to find her and then just fall in love and everything would be alright. Daisy knew she would not leave Tom even though she said she would, which is why she still left with Tom at the end.
