Line without a hook - by rick Montgomery
it basically reminds me of Gatsby's emotions towards daisy

# data[].attributes.body
Gatsby throughout the story only had one goal, and it was to make one person happy. in the way, he met new people and most of his actions were nice.

# data[].attributes.body
I think The Great Gatsby is more about money because even when love was displayed there was money involved. For example, Gatsby tried to win Daisy over with his wealth. It seems like many of the relationships in the book surrounded money. Even Gatsby's dream was money oriented.

I think that Gatsby can be seen as great because his actions were usually kind ones. He also cared for those around him like Nick and Daisy by trying to help them and make them happy. Overall Gatsby can be considered great because he had a caring personality which he used to help those around him.

I agree with the statement that Gatsby cared for others but I think he was a great man because he rose from his poor position and made his life grand, regardless of how he got the money. I think that being a Great man is different than being a good man because one requires you to good things like being honest, unselfish, and does the right thing. Being a great man requires you to go after the things you want in life, in this case Gatsby went after Daisy even though she was married.

Gatsby was a mysterious man to many people and some thought he was great and other not. I believe that Gatsby was a Great Man because when he was with Daisy he was his true self. Then they separated and he was determined to become rich for her. So he is great for his determination for the one he loves and he died based on something he hadn't done.

He decided that being with Daisy was his "American Dream" and he did everything he could to achieve that dream.

Gatsby is a reflection of Fitzgerald because of the same humble begins they share, they ambition they both had as young people to achieve something, and Daisy reflects Zelda, and the relationship between them is reflected in the story (not exactly on that scale, it is romanticized a tad bit).

I think that Daisy is very selfish because she never really took in Gatsby or anyone else's feelings into consideration when she spoke or did things.

# data[].attributes.body
I think this story was about peoples love for money because everyone in this story was chasing after money. Nick was trying to build a career for money, Gatsby and Tom were about flaunting the money they had, and Daisy along with Myrtle were chasing after money through relationships.

Also back to black by amy winehouse fits well because the song is about having your lover go back to their ex. Gatsby believed she had Daisy but she ultimately stayed with Tom

# data[].attributes.body
I agree and they actually used that song in the movie too.

# data[].attributes.body
I kind of think that the song "Uno" by Rex Orange County relates to Gatsby and how he feels towards the end of the story as he's giving up.

# data[].attributes.body
I know this song is already on the playlist but "A little party never killed nobody" fits well with Gatsby. Mainly because he's dead now.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the story is more about money than love, greed is also a big theme. All the extravagance throughout the book is surround by money, either new or old. This is a big factor of the story and a difference between Gatsby and the rest. Ultimately money got the best of everyone, leading Daisy to choose it over the past love she and Gatsby had, one that he was still extremely dedicated to, but she was not.

# data[].attributes.body
I would pick either "Art Deco" or "Old Money" by Lana Del Rey. I feel that both songs suit the story well in different ways. Lana actually wrote "Young & Beautiful" for the movie, it is a very good song.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that The Great Gatsby is more of a story about greed. Each character wanted to get their American Dream whether it was love or money. It showed us how far people would go to accomplish their dreams

I think Daisy is selfish, because of her Gatsby is dead and she didn´t even have the dignity to go to his wake. He did so much to protect her and did a lot for them to end up together, but she never tried to help.  She only cared for herself and no one else.

At the beginning of the story we all believed that Daisy was an innocent young girl who had a bad husband. In reality Tom and Daisy were both perfect for each other because they only cared about themselves and money. Daisy didn't truly care about Gatsby, she only cared because he had money. Daisy didn't even try to reach out to call Nick to say anything about the funeral, she just left. She is a bad person and I believe that our opinion about her has changed drastically.

In the beginning I felt bad for Daisy for her relationship with Tom. Daisy at the end of the book was another story, she was no longer the charismatic innocent character.

I will say in the beginning I was a fan of Daisy, but as we continued on with the book I found myself becoming annoyed with her. Now at the end I am pretty disappointed. I wasn't expecting the outcome, but that can show how she really wasn't in love with Gatsby and in love with the lifestyle that he could give her. It is unfortunate how Gatsby's dream was based on her when she turned out to be self centered and selfish.
