I don’t believe GATSBY was that great of a person because he was obsessed with Daisy and he lied about his life. It seemed like he was ashamed to show people who he truly was. However, he seemed like a good person because he was always so kind to Nick, but that maybe just because he knew Daisy and wanted Nick to see him as a good person.
Nick isn’t honest with himself because he hangs out with people with aren’t. He always talked about them behind their backs just like each one of them do. He always reminded himself he is honest and if he truly was he wouldn’t constantly say it. He constantly hangs out with dishonest people because he felt like he fit in with them or he wanted to, so he wanted to see what each of them hide. He respects them and seeks out relationships with them because he wants to know about their life’s and wants to feel like he fits in with them. With the information he gets he can have an interesting life to tell others.
“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.” means that both Tom and Daisy didn’t care about other people they just cared about what people had. They both did things that hurt others, however that didn’t seem to hurt them at all, at the end of the day they had all the money they wanted and didn’t care about others or their feelings. I agree with this sentence because Tom lies to Mr.Wilson and when he was around him acted like a good helpful friend. Daisy was only with Tom because of his money and when GATSBY showed her his house she only seemed to care about the items he had and nothing else.
I kinda understand Daisy’s behavior because if she grew up in a wealthy family she might of gotten everything she wanted and once she got only she wanted more money and more expensive things in her life. However, I don’t agree with her choices because she needs to know that money isn’t everything you need to have in life. She needs to know the true value of life, however people don’t seem to help her change the way she sees things. She isn’t person I would let my brother date because she doesn’t want someone for how they are she just wants someone for that they have to offer her.
"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past." Means that no matter what you do to hide your past you will always be the same person you were in the beginning. This relates to the theme of the book because it shows that you can’t hide who you are and you will always end up being the same.
