Some people believe that no matter how hard a man works, the American dream will always remain out of reach. A study guide for The Great Gatsby explores the themes, such as the illusory American dream, and elements of F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic text. Additionally, readers explore the figurative language (similes, alliteration, and homonyms) found within the story.
