How does this article help us understand the great Gatsby better? ANYBODY CAN GO FROM RAGS TO RICHES, AND SOME PEOPLE WILL DO ANYTHING FOR MONEY.

Does the central claim teach us something new about the meaning of the great Gatsby ? ANYONE WILL DO ANYTHING TO GET RICH.

CENTRAL CLAIM… SUCCESS CAN COME IN MANY DIFFERENT WAYS TO WEALTH.
