Cue theme music

I think the central idea of the great gatsby is people would do anything just to be happy.
-Infedility, Lies, ignorant, and scheming.
The reason why I choose this topic was because in life no matter where you are you wouldnt want to be depressed or lonly although sometimes it is good to be, you would want to be happy and to be happy you would need to overcome a lot of obtaclesed. I say obstacles because in life everything is a challenge. All these characters have challanges and things in life that describe them.
 I also think its about the american life because towards the end of the book you end up seeing how the characters affected every situation of the story. The american life is describing gatsby because his american life was to be rich like every other american and so he did but he was to stuckin the past that the american life he wanted was not present and everything he would was for one person which caused many things to happen.
