I believe that the Great Gatsby will be based on a person's struggle in the times and how he/she makes a change for the good. The reason why I think this is because my research shows that many went from poor as dirt to rich from either getting a job in the new factories or smuggling booze. This could be totally inaccurate but I hope that the book turns out to be interesting.
The most interesting fact I found when doing research was how much money situations have changed over the years. In 1920 teachers made roughly $970 and the average for everyone was just over a thousand. Now a days people complain that making $70,000 is not enough to live comfortably.
