Every American has a dream in their deep heart, it is American Dream. It’s a dream that they believe they will be able to achieve the ideal of a better life if they work through their own hard work, courage, creativity and determination during a hard struggle, rather than rely on specific social classes and other assistance.

Some brilliant people who saw the reality much more clearly had pointed out that the American Dream may not always be simple and it may always remain tantalizingly out of reach for some Americans, make it more like a cruel joke than a genuine dream. Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald is one of those brilliant people, he wrote The Great Gatsby to describe the cruel reality of the 20th century.

The key character, Gatsby, had fallen in love with Daisy in 1917 as an Army Lieutenant stationed near Daisy’s hometown, Louisville. At that time, he was very poor , he came back after the war and made a lot of money from illegal activities. Gatsby bought his mansion near Daisy and Tom, where he hosted parties everyday hoping she would visit. During the parties, the crows hardly knew their host, even many came and went

What Makes The Great Gatsby Great？

Fitzgerald is one of the most important novelists in America in the 20th century. His masterpiece, The Great Gatsby established his status as the embodiment of the spirit of the Jazz Age in American literature. The author skillfully uses his imagination to give the deeper meaning to this love tragedy: destruction of the American dreams. Besides, successfully using the double-mastered writing style, he put his own experience and the individual part of his personality into his works, interpreted the American teenagers’ common mentality and his own point of view towards the world and recurred the outlook of American Jazz Age. It is so vivid that we cannot even figure out whether it’s just a novel or a real life.

Being a transitional period of prosperity from tradition to modern after World War 1, the Jazz Ages saw varied women groups which are focused on money and marriage. In this age, the capitals have accumulated in a fast speed, consumer consciousness soared, people are urgent to manifest themselves immediately and do things unconventionally or unorthodoxly. “I understand that you are looking for a business gonnegtion.”（p76）that the sentence by Mr. Wolfshiem said to Nike. It indicates that it is a money world. In the world of old and new, the traditional convention has been shackled and been changed quickly. In Jazz Age, this novel discusses how females balance money and marriage in a much more open way. More

SAT小说背景系列——The Great Gatsby （一）

在SAT考试中，阅读部分需要花费更多时间和精力准备，了解清楚SAT阅读背景资料会更有利于我们正确把握文章大义。 备考SAT阅读可以利用大量阅读英文小说来培养语感。英文小说在英语学习中的重要性一直以来都被强调，但却未能落实。在SAT阅读中，如果能够把小说利用好的话，那么对于学生理解水平的提升会有极大的帮助。 这首先体现在英文小说在SAT阅读分项中本身便是重要的考察项目。同时小说阅读的主要要求是略读，即快速获取文章的有效信息，同时能够记忆前文的信息与现在所阅读到的信息进行勾连，这些能力恰恰是SAT阅读所需要重点考察的。今天外朗小编就给“烤鸭”们介绍一些《伟大的盖茨比》这本小说的背景。

《伟大的盖茨比》

他以为黛西还是爱着他的黛西，他以为赢得黛西便是完成了自己的梦想，那个关于财富、名望的梦想，却不知黛西已是被金钱腐蚀的笼中鸟，不知自己正踏上死亡的不归路……

小说以第三者尼克的视角解读了盖茨比的伟大：悬置评判以便看清多姿多彩的伟大。与愚蠢粗俗的花花公子汤姆、看似优雅迷人实则自私冷酷的贵妇黛西相比更形纯粹。小说的背景设在二十年代初，那是一个繁华却也空虚的时代。这篇小说的亮点首推盖茨比的奋斗史：出生贫困却不甘于平凡，偶救一富翁接近上流社会，当上军官爱上富家小姐黛西后，用五年使自己富可敌国。其次是情深不寿：第一次，他要求黛西等他，黛西为了现实的生活嫁给了汤姆，第二次，五年后，他费尽心思想和黛西在一起，却在汤姆告诉她盖茨比只是个暴发户时出走，开车失手撞死了汤姆情妇，后又在汤姆污蔑盖茨比是杀人犯时选择沉默，导致盖茨比被汤姆情妇的丈夫枪杀。

我们能为自己的梦想坚持多久尤其这个梦想对于我们来说遥不可及？盖茨比坚持着自己的梦想直到死去的那一刻。黛西是盖茨比所要追寻一切的化身。她身上集中了一切金钱和财富所带来的美好的东西:房子、教养、美貌、爱情。而盖茨比除了坚持梦想体现其伟大，更有对爱情忠贞不渝所体现的伟大。这些都是值得我们学习的，另外，中英文双语阅读对我们的翻译非常有利，书适用于英语教育、学前教育（双语教育方向）。

这本中英文的小说让我们从这个爱情悲剧里更切近那个时代，繁

华包裹内里的寂寞，由繁华到萧瑟，是失落的美国梦。

The tragic man----about the Great Gatsby In the eye of Nick or most readers, Gatsby is great. As a child, he dreamed of wealth and luxury, and he has attained them with his own power. But as for me, Gatsby is great,for his tragedy.

In the whole life of Gatsby, he has persued two things, one is spiritual comfort, Daisy; the other is materialism. However, what he is always longing for, at last, becomes illusions.

Five years ago, Gatsby felt helplessly in love with Daisy when he was a young officer in WWI. But Daisy married Tom for his wealth. Since then, Gatsby decided to win his love and his success in whatever ways. But the glamour and excitement of American life has affected Daisy a lot. She has become materialistic, vain and selfish. Gatsby has made a wrong choice at first for his “want” never exists.

《THE GREAT GATSBY》

《THE GREAT GATSBY》is a famous work written by Francis Scott Fitzgerald, widely regarded as one of the greatest American writers of the 20th century.It was published in 1925, establishing his position in the history of modern American literature. The writer is regarded as a spokesman and one of the representatives of the "lost generation" writers. Unfortunately he died of heart attack at a young age of 44. But sometimes I thinkit may be a relief for him. After all, he had suffered a lot after being infected with lung disease and addicted with alcoholic.

I think the book tells me a story about love, dream, success and coldness. Gatsby, the hero of this novel, fell in love with an attractive woman named Daisy. However he was too poor to marry her,whose family was noble and rich. But he never forgot her so he tried to change his fate by seizing any possible opportunity. Fortunately he ultimately made it and returned to look for his goddess. 1from page 65 ○
