The Great Gatsby F. Scott Fitzgerald 1925

Anticipation guide 1. When one comes by wealth illegally, he or she is very likely to pay for it in the end. 2. People who live in big cities in Eastern America are sophisticated, while people who live in Midwestern cities are simple and innocent. 3. It is no longer possible to attain the American Dream (to amass a fortune without compromising traditional moral values). 4. If you truly love another person long enough, you will eventually have a life together. 5. There is no difference between a family that has been wealthy for generations and one that was poor until just recently (old money vs. new money). 6. Money cannot buy happiness.

Anticipation guide  7. Anything you can do to “get ahead” in life or better your situation is acceptable.  8. You can and should only be in love with one person your whole life.  9. Reality is what we make of it.  10. Once the past is gone, you can never get it back.  11. If you have unintentionally done wrong, you should not have to be responsible for your actions.  12. A person’s behavior, occupation, and apparel are good indicators of what kind of a person he is.
