Gatsby who starts out his life as James Gatz, grew up on a farm in North Dakota; it is here that he ended up working for a millionaire and decided from then on to completely dedicate his life to the achievement of wealth. Daisy and Gatsby meet while Gatsby is training to be an officer in Louisville; he falls in love with her. However they end up not being together, and Gatsby believes it to be because of his lack of wealth.

Gatsby had a dream much like many other people do, so much like what other people dream; we often call it the "American Dream." This dream is to have everything anyone has ever wanted, money, power, a wife who loves you. To achieve this dream James Gatz felt like he had to lie and cheat. He started out as a middle class nobody, but then, by bootlegging, and other means of illegal activit

Fitzgerald uses this to symbolically show the truth about the American dream of wealth and beauty. It seems as though throughout history those who try to achieve this all end up in the same way. The wild 1920's, in which it was a big party and fun for the wealthy, was soon followed by the Great Depression of the 1930's. No matter how hard one tries to capture the American Dream, Fitzgerald makes it clear to the reader that gaining wealth and living extravagantly might seem great, but it only sets one self up for a huge downfall, as in Gatsby's case where he lost everything, his love, his status, and his life.

When Daisy doesn't show up for any of his parties, Gatsby begins to ask around to see if anyone knows Daisy. It is then that he meets Nick Caraway, a distant cousin of Daisy. Nick would soon introduce them, and they reminisced about old times and soon began to see each other nearly everyday. It now seems as though Gatsby's American Dream is all coming together.

Gatsby is truly in love with Daisy; he would search out for news clippings of her and cut them out and keep them. He builds a gigantic mansion just across the way from Daisy's house so he could be near to her. Also he throws huge parties at his house every Saturday night in the hopes that maybe one night Daisy will show up. He never really participates in them, but more just watches and waits.
