Keiser University American Dream as Observed in the Film The Great Gatsby Discussion

 

Hello! I have completed the outline for this assignment but need help in writing the essay…Here is the topic.

The American Dream lecture in Week 1 points out that Poor Richard’s Almanac was an annual publication that included calendar lists, home recipes, weather forecasts etc. What made Franklin’s almanac unlike other almanacs was the inclusion of Franklin’s witty parables and humorous writings. Franklin proposes in “The Way to Wealth” that anyone who works hard, avoids debt, and works toward attaining a virtuous character can be successful and ultimately wealthy—that the American Dream is accessible to all.

Watch The Great Gatsby and argue why or why not Franklin’s assertions are correct. Provide examples from the film and your own explanations to support your assertions.
