Gatsby’s dream

Gatsby saw the blocks of the sidewalks really formed a ladder and mounted to a secret place about the trees- he could climb to t, if he climbed alone, and once there he could suck on the pap of life, gulp down the incomparable milk of wonder.(110) Gatsby, who sees Daisy as his everything, follows his dream of Daisy as he keeps on trying to show Daisy that he is wealthy and rich and he is the perfect lover of her. Milk, indicating his dream, is bright and full of hope at this moment. He believes he and Daisy will have a bright future and they will stay together forever. Unfortunately, this did’nt happen. His dream falls as he is killed by Mr. Wilson. Mr. Gatz, Gatsby’s father was on the point of collapse, so I took him into the music room and made him sit down while I sent something to eat. But he wouldn’t eat, and the glass of milk spilled from his trembling hand. (167) His dream is over already. The glass of milk spilled out and ended his dream. He paid his life for his Daisy dream, and he gained nothing.
