The Great Gatsby

Each pearl was really a testicle

Gatsby is used to show the death of the American dream. The American Dream is one of the pursuit of happiness, success, and wealth. His connection to the bootlegging is seen as the corruption society has obtained while trying to obtain this dream. In this sense the dream is unattainable to all that is corrupt. In other words, Gatsby can't obtain his true goal of getting daisy. Corruption destroys everything that the good or the hopeful who do the right thing, and causes society to hate everyone in it and cause even more problems. One example is the gang wars and the racial problems that exist with us today. So, these problems that exist in the United States today, exist because of the corruption that has hurt the human society since its creation. This is true among all, not just to those who create most of those problems, but also those who are good citizens and rely on the lord and the law to keep them the good side of the tracks, rather than the bad. Hopefully, one day this corruption that has plagued the human race will we eradicated.
