Since I have read the Great Gatsby last year I'm am not really anticipating reading it again. Pretty much this rich guy *Spoiler Alert* wants this woman and she is his dream, so every night he watches a green light at the end of her dock. The green light symbolizes his dream and how he is always wanted to reach his goal. But when he finally get the girl of his dreams he realizes that now he has nothing to work for; nothing he really wants so he has to let his dream go (I think but my memory is a little fuzzy). And there you go I pretty much spoiled the whole book for you.*End Spoiler Alert*
So, the thing that intrigued me the most about the stuff we studied was how the start of the Prohibition led to the very quick increased of organized crime and underground bars. I mean how did the government not see what was going on around the country, right under their nose? Maybe they really didn't care to enforce the laws or they were really oblivious. But I digress, so thats what I found most interesting when we studied this era, and i'm curious about what others find interesting.
