Part 2 Cloven (Yutong) The wave of success in the age of development.

  I think the American dream applies to the past, but not to the modern age.In that fast-growing era, everyone felt they could get what they wanted. They are determined to work hard for their dreams and believe that their dreams will come true. However, with the development of society and the solidification of class, this idea becomes useless. The American Dream did work in America in the 20 's, but today is a backward and useless idea. At the age of development, you were able to succeed in a very short time, but in this day and age it is difficult to achieve.However, we can still learn from this history benefits, such as how to choose employment.

  Nick thinks the financial industry can bring him success, so he started his own struggle in New York alone. He bought a cheap house in the West Egg village and bought more than 10 books on finance to start learning. The financial industry was just getting started in that era, Nick found the right time, and I'm sure he'll succeed as long as he sticks to it. His ideas are similar to those we have just graduated from college, we have our own pursuits and ideals and spend as much energy as Nick to finish it. But as far as we know, the number of successful young people is getting smaller.

Nick is wrestling with the financial books he just bought in his cheap rental house.

  Gatsby was born in a poor family, but he thought he was a child of God. Through five years of hard work he became very rich, he almost finished his dream. Success in such a short time is hard to imagine for young people today, because young people who have graduated from college for five years may still be working for their boss else. These two roles are good examples of a dream and belief that it will come true, and another that has been successful in money and status.

  Nick's dream is simple, he just wants to survive through the popular financial industry. I believe it is possible if he wants to make money from the financial industry, because Gatsby once wanted to help him develop his career. Nick refused him because of the legality of Gatsby's method, but it was a chance to make Nick very rich. This is the era of development, the wave of success will make many people easily succeed.

  If things happen in this age, it's hard to believe that a person can get rich through finance in a short time, even using some illegal means. Not only you can not realize your dreams, but also you will have violated the law and paid the price. The same truth applies to Gatsby as the law continues to be perfected in development. Through some illegal trade, Gatsby made and sold alcohol under prohibition, accumulating rich wealth in a short time. The way is little illegal, but also proved that the wave of success in the era of rapid development is real.

  In the film, The American Dream in China, three young people can succeed because they do things that are socially vacant. For the United States today, the idea of the American dream is not effective because there are few social vacancies in the United States. Of course, some industries will become very good, such as information technology, but the number is far from the wave of success. Of course, this history tells us that it is easier to choose the industries that are needed to succeed, especially in China, which is still in the developing era.

 On the whole, the wave of success has passed and the American dream can only be applied to that era of development, not today.
