The Great Gatsby

1. His full name Francis Scott Key, and he was lawyer and a author was the son of John Ross Key, a Revolutionary officerand poet who wrote the words to the United States national anthem, "The Star-Spangled Banner".
2.I would say he isnt any of them because his life sounds like he is not "old money" or nouveau riche" . However if i had to pick one i would and i would say "old money".
3.The prohibition was a way for the country to get rid of the use of alchol. this did not work .Speakeasies were place were alchol was sold.In the novel the great gatsby the characters went to those places and drank alchol.
4.The term American Dream has had many shades of meaning throughout American history. Today, it generally refers to the idea that one's prosperity depends upon one's own abilities and hard work, not on a rigid class structure. For some, it is the opportunity to achieve more prosperity than they could in their countries of origin; for others, it is the opportunity for their children to grow up with an education and career opportunities; for still others, it is the opportunity to be an individual without the constraints imposed by class, caste, race, or ethnicity. It sometimes includes the idea of owning a home.
5.That all men are created equal and in my opnion i do think this is part of the american dream.
