What’s so Great About Gatsby

           Gatsby is a good person he isn’t the greatest person nor the worst.  In my opinion he’s a good person because in the book we never saw him doing anything out of character and he didn’t drink because he saw Cody, but he was trying to hard to get Daisy to be in love with him again. Gatsby was thinking about the past and how he felt then with Daisy then and wanted to feel that again and wanted Daisy to be his again. I think Nick thinks of himself as an honest person because he doesn’t lie when givohisbopinion or when he is asked things. He isn’t completely honest because he doesn’t say or tell anyone how he really feels towards them or thinks about them. He is around them because he doesn’t want to be left out he wants to be involved in a way with people. Daisy and Tom left after Daisy killed Myrtle because she wanted to run away and let Gatsby take the blame for what she had done. Tom left with her because Myrtle was his mistress and they both didn’t care about the mess they had both caused and without a consideration to anyone they both left leaving everyone else to clean up what they had created. I don’t understand Daisy’s behavior she should have left her husband if she didn’t love him and had feelings toward Gatsby and if she actually loved him she wouldn’t have left after Myrtle had died she would have stayed by her side. Her choices I don’t agree with either if she had a feeling or knew her husband cheated on her she should have divorced him. She is t a person I would let my brother/ son/ or friend date because of how she acted and she didn’t seem to care when Gatsby took the blame for her or when he died. The last line of the book to me means that we move even if we don’t want to because of what we have been through in the past.
