The Great Gatsby
Written by Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald and published in 1925 "The Great Gatsby" received good reviews but sold poorly. Today the The Great Gatsby is
considered one of the greatest American novels of the 1900's and is taught in schools nationwide.
Gatsby makes his fortune through bootlegging and covers it through his "drug stores". Seeing how wealthy Gatsby is and the power he appears to have even over law enforcement many parallels can be made between him and Al Capone.
In The Great Gatsby the theme New money vs Old Money constantly pops up. This is one of the main reasons Gatsby fails to get Daisy. She belongs to a family with money (old money) while Gatsby only just got his fortunes (new money)
