When Nick arrives back his house after tea with Jordan, he runs into Gatsby. After talking a little about Daisy, Gatsby says, “I carry on a little business on the side,” (82) and “You might pick up a nice bit of money” (83). To most people being offered a job would be very exciting, but Nick doesn’t like the nonchalant manner in which Gatsby offers him the job. Nick realizes that it was Gatsby’s attempt to buy Nick’s friendship. This proves Gatsby’s materialist ideals, because he believed that if he helped Nick earn more money he would be a
Even though Daisy is in love with Gatsby she marries Tom “because [Gatsby] was poor and [Daisy] was tired of waiting for [Gatsby] (137).” This shows that for Gatsby to accomplish his dream and be happy, he has to have money. Because of Daisy’s status she cannot or will not marry a person of a lower status, of which Gatsby had been until he made all of his new money. In conclusion, Gatsby’s dream and the American dream share some aspects, but they are not the same thing. The American dream is entirely focused on earning money and status to progress and change what one was in the past. Gatsby on the other hand is living in the past and cannot be happy with moving forward.

"There just wasn't enough business," he said.

Like he had done something he thought was cute but wasn't so sho now how other folks would take it." (Pg. 189) While Anse thought that he deserved a pat on the back for buying the mules for the family in exchange of Jewel's horse; it is merely an act of cruelty and selfishness. Anse could have taken Armstid's offer of giving Anse his family of mules; however, Anse declines Amstid's gracious offer and decides to go through with the plan of selling Jewel's horse. He also attempts to justify himself by bringing up how long he went by without teeth and how he sacrificed so much for the family.
This relates to Walter Lee because Walter, too, is chained. His obsession with becoming wealthy and prominent keeps returning through out the play. Walter feels as though no one in the family supports his idea of opening a liquor store, but they want him to be an entrepreneur, but opening a liquor store is against his mother's moral grounds. Walter's arrogance is clearer when he asks Beneatha about her decision to become a doctor: He asks why she couldn't just become a nurse or get married "like other women." When he comes home after drinking with his friends and Beneatha is dancing to the African music, he says, "Shut up" to Ruth, just before joining Beneatha in the dance.

Red Sammy states, “a good man is hard to find,” considering himself, known to be clumsy, to be one of a dying breed. Even the Misfit remembers things his father said and did as well as the unfairness of his punishment for crimes that he can’t remember committing. According to these characters, the present is filled with pain and unhappiness, and things were different long ago. In a way, this belief allows them to stop short of deeply exploring their own potential for greatness because they’ve allotted themselves that the world is not associated with it.
