INTRODUCTION
When I first read The Great Gatsby, I loved the plot, storyline, and the flow of Fitzgerald's words. However, at the end of the book, the author left his readers on a sad, depressing note. Although the ending was done to symbolize the American dream and its decline, Fitzgerald never lived to see America bounce back. The alternate endings that I created are not to destroy a classic novel of literature but, instead, to provide a more modern and realistic ending to the book that is just as symbolically equal as the original. I have imitated Fitzgerald's style to the best of my ability so they blend in better, and have also made the format of the text similar to the actual book's layout. So, without further ado, enjoy.
