 Part 2 ↘The lazy American dream in Gatsby
George Wilson | The Great Gatsby Wiki | FandomGeorge B. Wilson is a car mechanic, an incompetent and lazy poor. He lives in the lower class.๐Ÿ˜“๐Ÿ˜“๐Ÿ˜“ He just wanted to make a little more money every day, but he didn't work very hard.๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ˜ก He did nothing every day, and he didn't even know that his wife was cheating. He represents the poor who are oppressed by wealthy people, but I think he also represents the daydreamers who do not want to work hard every day but still want to get rich.๐Ÿ’ฉ
ไบ†ไธ่ตท็š„็›–่Œจๆฏ”ๅคซไบบ_่ง†้ข‘ๅœจ็บฟ่ง‚็œ‹- ๅพฎ็Ÿญ่ง†้ข‘็ฝ‘Daisy Buchanan is a beautiful woman but also a lazy, selfish woman. ๐Ÿ˜ˆShe neither loves Tom nor Gatsby. The only person she loves is herself. She chose to marry Tom only because Tom was plentiful and a rich man.๐Ÿ‘ช There was no love between them. Marrying Tom allows her to have what she wants without having to work hard every day. She never cared about her husband even if her husband was derailed. This is because of her laziness. She didn't want to make money through her efforts, but she spent her husband ’s salary with peace of mind.๐Ÿ’ฉ

What they reflect？๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡
The American dream is broken, the so-called American dream is just an excuse people use to laziness.

George B. Wilson is a car repair shop owner and technician. Tom Buchanan and his wife Myrtle Wilson didn't like him, saying he was "too lazy to know that he was still alive." In Chapter 2, we met George while Tom was in his garage, Walked away. Tom and George have some auto-related business, but it is unclear what the deal is. I guess that George is trying to buy Tom's car to resell it, and Tom pretends to consider George's low-price offer,๐Ÿ˜ˆ which George insists because Tom is there to establish a liaison with Myrtle. He is a car repairer, but he does not want to make money by repairing cars for others at all but earns the difference by buying other people's cars and reselling them at a high price, trying to get the same wealth as the rich people without trying. He believes this is the so-called equality between people. He used equality promoted in the American dream as an excuse for his laziness.

！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！ 

There is also a person who also confirmed my point of view, and she is Daisy Buchanan. Daisy embodies the decline of female values towards material enjoyment. In love and money, she chose money๐Ÿ’€, married to the vulgar and annoying Tom, and in a monotonous life afterwards, and she was only pursuing material money and timely enjoyment. There was no other ideal. Because she has money, she can do nothing and enjoy an abundant life. Daisy chose this marriage to realize her desire for status and materiality. ๐Ÿ‘นHowever, after this satisfaction was achieved, her soul began to become lonely, empty and dazed. Because there is no true love between her and Tom, money cannot play any role in enriching the spirit. And her husband kept Daisy consistently neglected, which further expanded the loneliness and loneliness deep in her soul. But she did not have the guts to abandon the present wealth and decisively leave the current material life. Because she has been controlled by money, she is addicted to this feeling of gaining nothing. Her sitting enjoyment is a manifestation of laziness, but she still has the wealth she wants to have. The American Dream is just an excuse for lazy people, and a lie to deceive hard-working people.

Who realized the American dream?๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€
Neither of them realized the American Dream. They think they are fulfilling the American dream, but in reality, they are just lazy using the American dream as an excuse. George just wanted to make a fortune, but he didn't work hard. Daisy enjoyed the money and indulgence brought by other people's efforts.Neither of them fulfilled the American dream. They just felt that they were fulfilling the American dream, but in fact they just used the American dream as an excuse for their laziness.

Who need change?๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ฑ
They did not realize the American dream, and they need to change. They need to become more industrious, but at the same time, the American Dream also needs to make changes. We should not make the American Dream so easy and so beautiful, or even become the practice of the American Dream step by step.

As Trump said in his speech, only through the joint efforts of all people can the United States be made great and stronger again. It is not that individuals are struggling hard, while the rest are lazy, trying to sit back and enjoy their success. Such an American dream is illusory and unrealistic.

        The Character Analysis Connects the American Dream             Alisa's   Blog !!!!!!!!!        Hi, class! Do you remember what I said about the American dream? Today I'm going to connect it with The Great Gatsby . I think Tom is the most memorable person for me. Let's see what kind of person Tom is in The Great Gatsby.๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡           Tom  is an Old Money who has a high statu s in the society.๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ’ฐ He got married with Daisy, and they have a daughter๐Ÿ‘จ‍๐Ÿ‘ฉ‍๐Ÿ‘ง. However, he cheated on Daisy because he has a mistress . The common thing between his mistresses is that they are both the poor . Tom is a self-absorbed person and  believes in basic inequalities of people based on birth. He  looks down on the poor, even the New Money.       As I mentioned in the Part 1, I think the American Dream shows that everyone wants to have a good family and be  ๐Ÿ˜ƒ ๐Ÿ˜€ ๐Ÿ˜„ , but only few of rich people can achieve that. The rich people believe that the status is base

In other words, she is the dream pursued by the middle and lower classes represented by Gatsby. Daisy was born in an upper-class family. She only has a sense of dependence on the material . She is selfish in feelings. The person she loves is h erself (only herself ???, DON'T USE THIS WORD, lol๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿ‘Ž) Her beauty is her best tool, a tool used to induce others. She is a beautiful but fickle woman herself, an introverted and boring person. Daisy's spiritual world is driven by money . She believes that money makes everything better and even more beautiful . ๐Ÿ‘จ-------

Hi, this is Lynn!  In   the Great Gatsby ,  Daisy is the most  mysterious  and  complicated  character. Just as Daisy’s name, her appearance is as beautiful as a flower๐Ÿ”…๐Ÿ”….  However , her personality is so  vain and selfish๐Ÿ˜จ . She easily abandoned  Gatsby  and married with  Tom   only because Tom has money and status , though she was supposed to wait for Gatsby to come back from war.  For Daisy, her own happiness and success is established on money and fame.  Therefore, to realize her own “American Dream”, she has to choose from her  old love  and her  carefree future , and Daisy immediately selects  the latter.๐Ÿ˜ž ๐ŸŒ‘๐ŸŒ’๐ŸŒ“๐ŸŒ”๐ŸŒ•๐ŸŒ–๐ŸŒ—๐ŸŒ˜๐ŸŒ‘๐ŸŒ’๐ŸŒ“๐ŸŒ”๐ŸŒ•๐ŸŒ–๐ŸŒ—๐ŸŒ˜ Do you remember  my definition of American dream  in the last part? As I said before, the American Dream is a dream which  advocates self-accomplishment . In order to  realize  our own success, we will  focus more on ourselves , and gradually we will  have less patience and empathy to listen to others and understand each other.
