ANOTHER BIG QUESTION?

I thought of another question after everyone presented theirs and I thought I'd share it. Can you truly succeed without failing? I thought about this question for the rest of the period and figured I should write it down. :)

GATSBY NOTES AND THOUGHTS ON CHAPTER 6

At the beginning of the chapter, a reporter showed up at Gatsby's house. He wanted to know more about Gatsby.
