Your question is a tad confusing... here
goes:
The idea of the "American Dream" is often
centered around money but many would argue that the real heart of it is the opportunity
to re-invent oneself, that you can become who you want without worrying about who you
were born as, or to.
In this case, Gatsby wants to join the
crowd of the super wealthy so that he can have access to Daisy, he makes a pile of money
in shady ways, then comes to Long Island to win her back from her boorish
husband.
In his case, he cannot seem to overcome the
barriers that exist, he didn't make his money the right way for some, Daisy is far too
manipulative and opportunistic to listen to her feelings, and in the end Gatsby may have
re-invented himself but still cannot reach what he is looking
for.
