gatsby get wealthy by bootlegging u know selling alcohol during prohibition. as u may recall he deals with crooks like meyer wolfshiem which imply to the reader he's into illegal things since wolfshiem fixes the world series. His pharmacies are a cover up to the illicit things he's doing to get wealthy. Like tom buchanan once says "he's just a bootlegger".

The new found freedom of that era. and the parting and trying to keep up with the Joneses. the Great Gatsby is all about the american dream and trying to make it and be successful. the people in the book are trying to be "in" and by being "in" they also want to wear the latest fashions. also, the clothing worn in the book is typical of those with wealth and class. also the clothing worn at the parties is more liberal then what was worn in the past more victorian eras. much more freedom, lots of drinking and sexual freedom. many of the characters in the book were having affairs and cheating on thier spouses for example. so looser morals. more sexy clothing.\n\nalso- the character of Jordan represented old wealth and she dressed more classy and conservative.

Busting up little guys on his way to amass  his fortune. Read economic history.   The sons felt guilty and paid society, as best as they could, to help clear the old bastards name,a dreadful  robber baron.

well, you've got one thing wrong already.  school trains people to have jobs and jobs pay people to work, not to get rich.  while there are certainly some jobs that allow you to make that amount of money, i'll give you a couple ideas:  most millionaires in the country were created in real estate and secondly by being an entrepreneur.

The main theme of "The Great Gatsby" is the rise and fall of the American Dream. Look to the passage of the Dutch Settlers in the end of the book as an analogy of hope for a new start in America and then look to examples of how the main characters fail through their excess and misdeeds as to why the "Dream" falls.\n\nRacism is also a minor theme discussed through the book.

Rich is a subjective word. Do you mean rich as in a net worth of one million dollars, one million dollars in 2005 dollars, or do u mean more like 15 million or more?\n\nRich is defined by the individual or surounding individuals. If one man with a net worth of 150,000 walks into a homeless shelter to help, the people there may look at him as being rich, although if the same man walked into the Chicago Board of Trade (Which I believe still holds the record for having the largest number of millionaires per square foot) he would be considered poor. \n\nThe only way to truly become wealthier is to earn economic profit, and the only way to do that is by exploiting market potential. Market potential is everywhere in America, you just need to open your eyes a little wider and you will see all the possibilities to earn economic profit, and meet your goal of what you believe it means to be rich. \n\nThere is definatly no system that can make a person rich in 20 years. If someone claimed a system existed and everyone got involved and it actually produced money it would mealy be inflationary more than anyhting. \n\nYou should also understand that money doesn't buy goods and services, goods and services buy goods and services, money is just the medium of exchange. So more money doesn't mean you can buy more. The more goods and services you provide the more you can get in exchange.

The only people who get rich are the people selling you those things.  They package information that you can get yourself if you do a little homework.

There are many different ways. Playing the lottery, reading self help books, applying for financial aid and going to college. It just depends on what he wants to do to get it done. There are really no quick ways to do this it takes time and patience so he shouldn't waste his money on those get rich quick schemes because they dont really work.  Or he could go into the real estate business buying cheap houses and cars that have been seized and foreclosed and fix them up and sell them for more so he can make a profit off of it.

There's no real guarantee of getting rich really quickly (or else everyone would be rich) but hardwork and perseverance is a 75% guaranteed way to be rich, but it takes alot of time and patience. An easy way (and sometimes expensive) is gambling and lottery. Beware that people have lost money because of gambling problems. It's never guaranteed that you're gonna be rich with this easy method because a small percentage of lottery players ever win.\n\nThe final answer is that you have a choice of either spending the rest of your life either playing lottery and hoping to win, or work hard and be guaranteed to be rich someday.

Quote by someonenormal "read wealthy people books and learn from their experiences and take their ideas seriously"\n\nHe didn't ask how to make someone ELSE rich, he asked how he could be rich.  All those "wealthy people" how-to books do is make the authors even richer.\n\nYou want to get rich in a short period of time?  Rob a bank.  You want to get rich over time, intelligently?  Save and invest, every month, systematically, in a diversified and properly asset allocated portfolio of investments.  Problem solved.\n\nHope this helps!\n--J.

Cinderella. (look deeper than the Prince Charming and fairy godmother thing) It shows that you can go from having wealth, to having nothing and back to having wealth. When you think you have nothing, look around and just be grateful for what you have, and when you least expect it, more will come your way.
