People believed that money bought happeniss and love and made everything better.In the American dream people thought money would get them love and rich could only be with rich. Some lyrics in song can really get a point across if you really focus on what they are saying and the reasoning behind it.Money was something everyone thought they would have."I want money, lots and lots of money I want the pie in the sky I want money, lots and lots of moneySo don't be asking me why".I wanna be rich by Calloway shows that people just want money because they believe it will make them happy.Money doesn't make you a better person and won't buy you emotions "Who doesn’t want lots and lots of money for a little love, peace and happiness?" I wanna be rich by Calloway makes it seem like that you can't have love peace or happiness without money witch it exactly what the American dream represents.Fitzgerald would disagree with it because he knows how it is to see both sides of it. In the great Gatsby Daisy and toms relationship is straight on money and that is why they both cheat then are not in love like a real wife and husband should be.FItzgerald grew up in a time where everyone wanted to be "perfect" when really there is no perfect. Money will only make you happy for so long money isn't far entered to stay with you. This book was him giving out his negative opinion on the American dream.
