What’s so great about Gatsby

1. Yes Gatsby was great before he died because he was a good friend and tried hard to prove himself to Daisy.

2. No Nick is not honest with himself. The reason he hangs out with dishonest people is because he can make himself look good I guess. Nick respects these people and has relationships with them because he just wants to fit in with them.

3. What this means to me is that together Tom and Daisy were very careless. They didn’t care whether or not their actions affected anyone around them or close to them. I do agree with this because Tom and Daisy both set up Gatsby who was killed for a crime he didn’t commit.

4. No I didn’t understand Daisy’s behavior because even after what Tom did she was still blind to his actions and continued to stay with him.  Personally I wouldn’t let my brother date a girl like Daisy because she seems too complicated and dumb. She also seems the type to cause problems.

5. Nick wants to relive Gatsby’s childhood dreams and will do so on his boat.

What adults are assuming is that young minds of children aren’t knowledgeable or don’t have enough information to know something  about anything. To support my opinion Emerson asks, “why are
