But he didn't have true happiness.
    Nick wasn't rich like Gatsby, but he still was a happy man. He had a house that was small and was contempt with it. Gatsby had all the money he could want. If he wanted something, he could buy it. But he couldn't buy the one thing he really wanted, Daisy. He used his wealth to throw parties, and many people came, but none of them were real friends. Gatsby wasn't a happy man, he could have everything he wanted except for the girl he loved. Gatsby's wealth gave him moments of happiness, but the money alone was not enough. He needed love. Although money was the only way he was able to get with the girl he loved, it had consequences. After everything he did to get the girl, his action brought him his own death.

No one attended his funeral except for his only friend, Nick.]]>     2017-03-30 16:00:22 UTC https://padlet.com/chavezjesse185/a37jps4gqso4/wish/163751315
