"The great Gatsby" by Fitzgerald.

A dream is a strongly desired goal that everyone trying to achieve during his or her lifetime. Becoming a super hero with super power is a dream that every young boy has. As time passes by, boys would understand that their dreams were ridiculous, so they would move on to their future. However, not everyone can achieve his or her goal. Those who fail to achieve might choose to live in the past rather than …

…past. Gatsby cannot move on to his future because his past plays an important part in his life, which he would rather choose to live in his dream world than to live in his future. When the story comes to an end, Gatsby has found out that his dream will always be his past, but he is unwilling to accept it. Gatsby's hopeless romanticism has cost him his life and more than he can imagine.
