I do think that Gatsby symbolize our culture because we intend to do something or get rich for the one he care for or loved. The example that the book show is that Gatsby did what he had to do to get Daisy the only person he loved and care for. Although that some people, but many of us will get rich to get what never had or to proof something to someone. Some even did it to flex money on people that doubt them from the beginning.
One example that Gatsby is like one of us is that he started from bottom and got money for working hard. For example the book tell that Gatsby came from a poor family and wanted to become someone very rich and important during his life time. Also, that he had to work when he was young and still didn't make a lot of money. For instance he didn't really wanted to be known as poor person. This show what many people do to this day.
The reason Gatsby not a outlier because many of us have things in common with Gatsby. One example is that we will get or do anything what we put our mind to. Which was Gatsby point of life but he didn't know that he was doing all the work for someone who doesn't care for anyone beside herself. Which is very common in this world because people will use you if your a weak person or desperate person.
In conclusion these reason show how many of us have many similar thing to Gatsby. Also, I actually
kinda knew that thing won't end like that easily which the author is very smart about and made us think that life isn't that easy. Although the book ending was sad because Gatsby work his entire life for someone and never actually got them. Therefore these example show why Gatsby is like one of us who will tried but sometime failed.
