In the second chapter of the book there is dinner party in which Tom, Myrtle, Nick, and Jordan all attend. At first it starts out well and everything seems to be going fine. Until things turn a little illegal because they start drinking. Myrtle starts by yelling Daisy’s name repentantly. So to shut her up Tom slaps her in face with his open palm and breaks her nose. This party started as an ideal American party and seemed perfect in every way. Due to all drinking and hitting i would not consider the party to be a very successful one. This does not portray the American dream because no one wants to go to a party where a women gets her nose broken for talking.

Gatsby is the ideal idol for the American Dream because he is perfect in every way. Gatsby has the money and always has massive parties that everyone goes to. In the beginning of the book Gatsby started out as a mysterious and questionable person. As the plot deepens in the book you begin to doubt his motives and past.

He starts out by changing his name from Jimmy Gatz to Jay Gatsby then he lied about were his family originated from. Gatsby’s was rumored to be a bootlegger. Later in the book it is revealed that he really is a bootlegger.

The American dream of happiness was ruined and Gatsby's life came to a stopping halt.
