The 1920's dream is over the dirty thirties reality has came.

    (When reality hit and the bubble popped and the illusion was gone, welcome to 1930's)

    The novel is over, and so are the 1920's. The Great Gatsby is dead and no one comes to his funeral besides our friend Owl eyes, Gatz's father and our "moral" friend Nick. After all the parties that Gatsby held, with all the free booze, all those "friends" are gone. His dream, his love, his world is gone with Tom no where to be found. The man is 6 feet deep and no one is there, Nick has to beg people to come. Just like you would have to beg people to invest in the stock market in 1929. The decade of doing whatever you want, of partying, of dreaming is over and the consequences are severe. In the 1920's people had dreams of making million, Gatsby had Daisy. People could no see reality because the green light was to bright and it just said go, chase your dream, don't worry you'll get it, do what you want. By the end of the decade people woke up from an amazing party with a bad hangover. The whole decade was a chase for wealth the shallow illusion that people thought would bring them happiness failed miserably.

     The 1920's changed America forever because the industrial age brought upon the class system that the declaration of independence avoided. People chased wealth to become a higher class than others. We have the  prime example of Tom Buchanan and Mr. Wilson. Or the inequality of the wealth during the period where you had millionaires and many poor people with a low GDP per capita of $2000. Worst part is the system has not changed today and it is the same thing, and always will be, always no matter what anyone says.

   The Great Gatsby dies and so did the Greatest decade in American history, well it seemed pretty damn fun to me!
