1.  I think that Gatsby was great because his heart was in the right place. He just wanted to be with the woman he loved. He didn't realize he was doing something wrong with Daisy. He thought she loved him too. 2. I don't think that Nick is honest with himself. I think that hangs out with dishonest people because he can relate to them. He may not always agree with them but he still hangs out with them no matter what they do. 3. To me this means that they make a mess and expect other people to always clean up after them. They don't know how to act because they've never suffered the consequences of their won mistakes. 4. I don't understand Daisy's behavior because she told Gatsby that she loved him but then she didn't even go to his funeral. She also let him take the blame for killing Myrtle. If she really loved him she wouldn't have done all that. I would't want her to date someone I know or care about because she's a bad partner and really con

Myrtle's sister Catherine told the coroner that her sister had never seen Gatsby or been with Gatsby. Nick was planning Gatsby's funeral and asking Gatsby's close friends if they would attend his funeral but they all said they couldn't make it. It goes to show that they didn't really care about him or else they would have gone to his funeral. At Gatsby's funeral, the owl eyed man showed up. He talked To Jordan before going home and he found out she was engaged to another man. He was still in love with her but he walked away. Nick said that Tom and Daisy were careless people. That they made a mess and then let other people clean up the mess they made.

The next morning Nick met up with Gatsby. He looked tired. He then let Nick know that he waited until 4:30 am for Daisy to give him the signal that she was okay and that he was okay to go home. This told me that Daisy didn’t care enough to remember that Gatsby was outside waiting for a signal. Nick then told Gatsby that he should go away for a while because his car was most likely going to get traced. Gatsby however didn’t want to leave Daisy behind and wanted to protect her. This goes to show how much Gatsby cares about her, maybe a little too much. The author shows us how Wilson is feeling about all of this and of course he’s not doing well. He figures out that it was Gatsby's car an goes out to try and find Gatsby. When he finally gets to his house he shoots Gatsby and then kills himself.

At the beginning of the chapter Nick finds out that Gatsby fired all of his servants. Gatsby then told him that he replaced each and every one of them. When Nick asked him why he said he didn't want them to gossip since Daisy had been over a few times. Nick then went to the Buchanan house and went inside where all the fans were turned on due to the hot weather. He walked in and saw both Jordan and Daisy sitting by the fans. Tom was in the hallway on the phone. Gatsby was standing on the carpet looking around. Jordan told Nick that Tom was talking to his girl. When Tom came back in Daisy told him to make them some cold drinks. When he left the room, Daisy went over to Gatsby and kissed him on the mouth. The proceeded to tel him " You know I love you."  A little later they decided to go to town. Tom wanted to take Gatsby's car but he didn't like the idea. Daisy then told Tom to take Nick and Jordan and that her and Gatsby would follow in Gatsby's car. At the end

I think that the difference between have to, want to and get to is when you have to you have no choice. Its something you have to do and don't really have a choice. Want to is something you actually want to do. No one forces you to do it, you do it on your own. Get to, to me, means its an opportunity to do something.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     ,m,m.nnnnnnn.nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

At the beginning of the chapter, a reporter showed up at Gatsby's house. He wanted to know more about Gatsby. Nick then explains that there was a story about Gatsby that said he didn't really live in a house, but on a boat that looked like a house. He also said that they thought the boat would sail up and down the shore. Nick let us know that Gatsby's real name was James Gatz and he had it legally changed at the age of 17. At the end of the chapter Gatsby was telling Nick what had happened 5 years ago on a date with Daisy. He was adding so much detail when telling Nick and it was weird thinking someone wouldn’t keep those thoughts/ moments to themselves. He also told Nick that he wanted to change the past. He wanted everything to be how it was 4 years ago. There were certain things that he wasn’t considering.  For one, Daisy was 4 years older therefor had a new perspective on everything around her. The big one was the fact that Daisy has a daughter. What would Gatsby do wit
