“I can’t believe I did this bad!” he told me. “I’ve always done well in bio. I studied all night!”

I stood there feeling bad for my friend, being a very dedicated student, because of his dire day. It blew my mind too because he did, in fact always study. The conversation was not going anywhere, and I felt I had to help him somehow. Taking a shot at cheering him up, I explained to him that people have to learn to set reasonable goals for themselves, trying not to stretch their capabilities. Not only did he feel better, but I was relieved as well, knowing he understood the error of his ways.

In The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald Jay Gatsby, a wealthy man residing on Long Island, holds onto a dream that he thinks will grant him eternal happiness. As a man with his values in the wrong order, Gatsby struggles to see his dream through and ends up being emotionally distraught because of his extreme expectations for life. With this in mind, one may see an aspiration as an impossible feat, while others the same aspiration as a great opportunity. Either way, one must set plausible goals

With Gatsby’s thought of only being able to obtain happiness through wealth, many points can be addressed through Gatsby’s relationship with Daisy.

After Tom destroyed Gatsby’s sense of life, Gatsby went back to his house to his final resting place. Soon after, an outraged Wilson came to the scene killing both Gatsby and himself out of rage of his wife’s murder. Gatsby’s death marks the point in time when he finally realizes his dream will never come true. His high and implausible expectations for the way he should live drove him off the deep end. Nick, being Gatsby’s only true friend, was the only one to see the “real Gatsby.” It is human nature for people set standards for themselves and others around them, but what many have to realize is that if unrealistic, these expectations will never be met, inevitably leading one to perpetual disappointment.

The most obvious weakness of Jay Gatsby is his ability to close past events in his life and move on. As a main theme of the novel Gatsby’s relationship with Daisy Buchanan plays an important role in showing Gatsby’s excessive ignorance. As the past sweetheart of Gatsby, Daisy is the epitome of unimaginable wealth and unattainable beauty. Many years after their parting because Gatsby had to go to war, they are finally reunited. Gatsby now felt as if his dream has come true by having everything he ever wanted: Daisy heart and money. T
