Final Essay for Jake, reinvented

We will be working on the following essay prompt this week:

Jake, reinvented
Final essay-50pts

In the conclusion of The Great Gatsby and Jake, reinvented, the authors seem to be drawing an analogy between Gatsby/Jake’s dream of Daisy/Didi and the American dream. One point is that both Gatsby/Jake’s dream and the American dream are unachieved. Write an essay explaining the connection between Jake’s quest and the American dream. You must also explain why the author chose to end the novel with failure.
