Great Gatsby Bill C

Today I am here to discuss to you my fellow senators about Bill C, which states that Americans are careless people. This statement can be proven not only materialistic but also morally careless from the 1920’s high class society, through the novel “The Great Gatsby”. Fitzgerald the author of the novel depicts what American did for there goals and what the American dream was all about. This carelessness can be lead from the feeling of blinded love, when a woman only accepts the man for his economic situation, and the man does whatever it takes for her to be with him. Carelessness is shown as James Gatz knows that Daisy will only pursue the relationship with him if he improves his economic situation although she loves him.

James Gatz blinded by love and not caring of his dignity accepts her condition and sets off to become wealthy. Daisy tired of waiting for him marries a rich man named Tom. This man treats Daisy like an object, but she ignores the situation because money is more important for her. James comes back wealthy attempting to take Daisy, not caring that she lost it to another man for his money. I also believe that the high society creates problems for lower class Americans. Myrtle, Tom’s paramour, a lower class woman also careless and blinded by love ends up dieing because she wanted some from Tom. Her carelessness end her life.

Although my facts are morality based, there is also material carelessness. James Gatz attempting to gain popularity, he hosts parties and has a great time. He gains his popularity using his hard earned money.
