“Old Sport” ( Jay Gatsby)
Old sport is what Mr. Gatsby says to his neighbor, to his friends, and to even strangers. It is just his way of acknowledging everyone equally and respectively. It is sad to know that if someone was walking down the street and said “Hey old sport”. You would probably think he/she was odd. With this new American Dream we have lost the sense of a good conversation and look for it in our electronic devices. I don’t see this as new and improved. To be honest personally I have not met many of my neighbors, in fact I have only met one. I have been living in my house for three years. Why has it come to this? Losing the new conversations with the people around us. But hey I got this new Iphone to text you instead of meet up or even call you. Just because we are getting a new American Dream does not mean we lose the backbone for the one we had before.
