“Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that’s no matter—tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther. . . . And then one fine morning—
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past”

The American Dream failed Gatsby. Most Americans feel that Gatsby was rather thick to have believed in it anyway.




My sister just read Gatsby for the very first time, and she was quite amazed. You two are making me want to re-read it!
