In chapter one when he is talking about the white race being supreme (17), he seems like a narcissistic, racists, and most likely misogynistic person who should be gotten ride of.

I feel as though while Gatsby is a cool rich man, he is so illusioned by love, he is created unnecessary drama, which could lead to a bad ending. Daisy is someone who has moved on, and Gatsby is simple not OK with that. He continues be petty about his relationship with Daisy when he says "cant repeat the past, why of course I can?" (Fitzgerald 69) when in reality he most likely cant and should not.

In chapter 6 when Gatsby says he can change the past about him and Daisy, I think that Gatsby is overly obsessive and a little crazy because he basically wants to erase the last five years of Daisy's life. I believe he is also a little delusional because he hosts these wild parties in hope that Daisy will show. And finally in chapter 6 when she did show, she was not impressed. Gatsby should learn to move on because he is making himself crazy chasing Daisy.

In chapter one Tom is a very arrogant, narcissist who only cares about him and the things he does. He is also a racist person with a very one sided view of life.

I think that Gatsby does really love Daisy but I also think that he is a bit selfish for wanting Daisy to leave behind her life including her child/family just for him.

In chapter 6 he says "I wonder where in the devil he met Daisy" (65). This shows he is jealous of Gatsby and thinks that he isn't good enough to be around him.

In Chapter 5 when Gatsby is throwing his shirts around the room and Daisy cries (58), I think she is a gold digger who is now regretting her decision for marrying Tom only because she see's how wealthy Gatsby is now.

Throughout the whole book, Jay Gatsby is extremely unrealistic; he has more money than he knows what to do with and he spends it all trying to impress one girl - who's married! He could find anyone else, but doesn't. When she doesn't seem to reciprocate the feelings he gets upset that he isn't having his way, and then asks her to divorce her husband. He's really needy.

At the end of chapter 5, Gatbsy talks about his disappointment that Daisy is not the girl he built her up to in his head. He wishes that Daisy could be her even though she never truly existed. This shows how he can often be unrealistic and oblivous.

She seems like she is very unstable and needs to get her priorities straight because she can't keep leading on Gadsby if she isn't actually going to leave Tom. And she also needs to start thinking more about her baby.

" 'They're such beautiful shirts,' she sobbed, her voice muffled in the thick folds. 'It makes me sad because I've never seen such--such beautiful shirts before' " (Fitzgerald 58).

This excerpt presents Daisy in a different way to the reader, like she is secretive instead of the perfect view that Gatsby sees. She seems to be a liar in some type of way and I think she isn't as good as everyone believes.

In chapter 6 he tells Tom that he knows his wife. (68) This is a bold move by him trying to slowly prove his love and not give up. This shows he is persistent and longing.

Throughout various points in the story, we see that Gatsby has trouble letting go of the past. This is directly stated with " 'Can't repeat the past...Why of course you can!' "(69). He has some stalker based traits that come off as creepy "Five years next November" (55) and completely oblivious to the fact that Daisy just can't leave Tom that easily because she has built up the life and reputation around her. I think Daisy still has some love for Gatsby, but not in the same way he has for her.

"I wouldn't ask too much of her. You can't repeat the past" (69). I like Nick because he tries to give real advice and be a good friend to Gatsby. I think going forward he should maybe let Gatsby do his thing and just see where it goes because obviously Gatsby isn't really listening to his advice.

• Daisy: I feel that Daisy as a character has a good heart but there may be an aspect of her that is naive or not really exposed to the real world because of limitations on her social status such as being a woman. (for ex: "that's the best thing a girl could be, a beautiful little fool. pg 16) --> when she says this quote she is basically admitting she doesn't want her daughters life to be superficial or lived up to its potential but rather a "fool".

  
  

He invited Daisy over for tea so she can be with Gadsby. But now he is really involved and its annoying me because he needs to get out of their messy affair.

Gatsby certainly should've moved on by then. He's genuinely stuck in the past I'd say, and it isn't good for him. Dude's a bum. A super rich bum.

In chapter 3, Gatsby introduces himself, and although it doesn't happen in the book, in the movie he raises the glass and I just like the specific scene. Makes him seem very amicable and like a stand up guy.

I think Gatsby is a shady guy as he's not straightforward about much and also where he gets most of his money from is unknown as said on page 57 when Daisy questions where he gets his money from.

In chapter 6, he seems very possessive and really wants Daisy, but not directly possessive because he knows or refuses to acknowledge that he may never have Daisy.

As for Daisy, I think she needs to leave her grouch of a husband. She'd be so much happier with Gatsby. In chapter one, she claims that Tom hurt her knuckle (16). Gatsby would never lay a finger on her.

In the first couple chapters where Tom is shown the most he comes off as a racist person when he is talking about White being the superior race.

In chapter 6, Gatsby argues to Nick that he can in fact repeat the past, that he can 'fix' things by putting everything back to the way it was and make Daisy love him again (69). I think he's incredibly selfish to expect Daisy to drop everything she's built for herself in the past five years just because he misses her. He had a chance, he didn't take it. I also don't get how he's able to spend millions of dollars on a house across the lake from Daisy when he wasn't even sure she remembered him. What was he going to do if she said she had no idea who he was? Move closer? Not to mention, he had to have his friend set up the tea party with her, because even though he's capable of moving across the lake from her and spending all that money, God forbid he makes an effort to meet up with the girl he's obsessively in love with himself,

I think the Gatsby is spoiled and creepy because he expects Daisy to give up her life just for him so easily and quickly (69), and he has a freakishly specific imaginary Daisy in his mind of what he wants her to be. (60)

In chapter one she talks about how she hopes her daughter is a beautiful fool (21), In my opinion this shows that she's had kind of a hard life and that she wishes she could have been oblivious to things in this world and she hopes that her daughter will be.

In chapter six says he can reclaim the past. He asks too much from Daisy and acts like it is nothing. He is unrealistic and expects too much from people and needs to learn how to move on from Daisy if she doesn't want to be with him.

I feel as though Daisy is starting to be a bit unhinged as she needs to let Gatsby go as she has already built a life with Tom. Despite time being an evil man, she had already married and had a kid with him. She then proceeds to cry about Gatsby's shirts (58), in which she then proves her longing love for him.

I think Daisy is misunderstood because everyone who knows Daisy has a different expectation of her and what they want her to be (60) and we don't even know what she wants for her own life.

I feel that Gatsby is a little weird and is a suspicious character. For example when he said: "five years next November"(55) it almost seemed like he was plotting this whole time to get back with Daisy while Daisy went threw so many changes in her life. It was as if his primary focus in life was literally getting with Daisy while Daisy married a wealthy man and had a child.

I feel that Gatsby holds onto the past and doesn't like change. In chapter 6 of The Great Gatsby, Gatsby and Nick are talking about Gatsby's 'love' for Daisy and Nick tells him that he can't repeat the past, but Gatsby says to Nick, "Can't repeat the past? Why of course you can!" (69).

In chapter one when Nick is talking to Daisy about her daughter and she says, "And I hope she'll be a fool" This shows how Daisy is a little delusional because she wants her daughter to be oblivious and go through life with money but being unable to know what going on around her. This is the opposite of what a good parent should think and Daisy needs to change her mental thought process before teaching her daughter about the world. Daisy is blinded by the money of which she has, and with out her money she wouldn't know what to do.

I believe Nick is a good narrator and also has good key moments and is a nice guy like when he tells Gatsby to stop being rude when he left the room with him and left Daisy by herself on page 56.

In chapter 2 she describes how she wants her daughter to be a beautiful little fool (18). This shows how is a little naive, but also kind-hearted. She wants her daughter to have a good life, but also says that she wants her daughter to be a fool which isn't a good thing.

He came back from the war and Daisy was married with a kid and now she isn't exactly jumping up to divorce her husband just because Gatsby says she should. I don't know what Gatsby expected to happen when he came back. He is acting like a stalker especially when he knew exactly when him and Daisy had last seen each other. Over all he was just annoying me and he needs to understand that the past is never going to go away no matter how much Gatsby wants it to.

Finally, Tom is a racist, terrible person who cheats and remains unfaithful to his wife. In the start of the book, he reveals has he has a white supremacist mindset (17). He deserves everything that is coming at him with a Gatsby and Daisy.

I think that Nicks tries to be helpful but its at his own fault because as we see in the movie this whole affair ends up traumatizing him by the end. It was nice how he offered to help Gatsby reconnect with Daisy however, it seems as though he doesnt know when to be done and just keeps trying to help and be part of things when he is not really needed.

In chapter four he goes into the lunch with Gatsby even though he doesn't want to. Nick is a push over who does whatever he is told to do by Gatsby. He needs to stop being Gatsby messenger as he is third wheeling and do something else.

I think Daisy has good intentions and it just stuck in between two men who really want her. I think she needs to pick a side and stick with it because it would make it clear to Gatsby if he's worth it to her compared to Tom. Gatsby really wants her as seen throughout the book and Daisy needs to tell him what she is going to do.

In chapter 5 Nick gets Gatsby and daisy together and it makes a very awkward ordeal (95), To me thus chapter and this page specifically really show who Nick is because he is a very awkward and timid person who doesn't really know what do in situations like this and will just do what others tell him to do.

Throughout the book, Daisy does have some redeemable qualities: as in, she does seem like a genuinely heartfelt person. But here are some moments when Daisy just has to pick Tom or Gatsby. It's clear to us that she probably would've preferred a life with Gatsby "They're such beautiful shirts,'she sobbed" (58) (this is not about the shirts). But I think she needs to plan her life first if she were to leave Tom- what about her daughter? Haven't heard anything about her since the beginning. Gatsby probably knows she has a child from all his stalking, but what will happen to her daughter if Daisy leaves?

In chapter 1 when we were introduced to Tom, he is described as a bad person, and he is. He is a racist person who believes in a crazy book, and he is also a cheater but he is also skeptical of a relationship between Daisy and Gatsby which is weird because he is cheating on his wife.

I think Daisy needs to find her priorities because she has already started a family with Tom even though he is a jerk and she needs to figure out what she wants with Gatsby and if she thinks it will work out or not.

He is so ignorant and if he is having an affair and he suspects something going on between Daisy and Gatsby, why not just get a divorce. I know getting a divorce was more frowned upon back then but like in a marriage if the husband is having an affair and the wife is in love with another man it is generally not a strong marriage.

After observing Daisy's personality throughout the story, I can come to the conclusion that she's not worth fighting over. She is shown to be a very materialistic person; in fact, she seems to have an attraction to wealth. Daisy cheats on her extremely wealthy husband Tom and kid with an even flashier, wealthier person, Gatsby. She shows signs that she's not even sure if Gatsby is right for her, and if you're going to cheat, you should definitely be sure that's what you want to do. Her pure selfishness should ultimately just cause her to be alone forever.

I think Jordan is an interesting character because she is very distant but also involved with the story. She seems very confident in the way she acts, but she is also very self-absorbed.

• Gatsby is the embodiment of a dream and the essence of hope both literally and metaphorically; Gatsby is too optimistic, which significantly grants him a naive sense of reality and inclines him to hopeless behaviors. This is rooted in Gatsby conception of he and Daisy rapport; ¨He wanted nothing less of Daisy than she should go to Tom and say ´I never loved you.´

In chapter six we start to see his true colors when he talks wanting to erase the past and be with Daisy forever (117), Gatsby is truly a weirdo like he has been obsessing over this girl for over 5 years and now wants him to leave her husband of 3 years just to be with him even though it's been years since they've talked.

In chapter 5, when Gatsby offers Nick a job for helping him reconnect with Daisy, he declines it because it sounds sketchy, so Nick declines. This shows how Nick stays true to his beliefs and is a good person because he's willing to help people without any reward.

At the end of chapter 1, Gatsby stands on his dock reaching toward the green light trying to reclaim the past (18). The author makes him seem like a weirdo stalkery, creep. And even though you are supposed to like him, maybe he should just cool it and stop obsessing about a married woman from five years ago.

I think Nick is timid because in chapter 1 when he is at dinner with Tom and Daisy, Jordan tells him that Tom is cheating. Nick knows this is wrong but does not do anything about it (Page 15). This is seen again when he 3rd wheels Gatsby and Daisy later on, because he is just in the background and seems a little nervous or weird in a way that makes him seem timid.

I feel that Jordan should be a bigger character in the book. Every time she is on the page I understand what is going on in the book and sometimes when she isn't on the page I get all sorts of confused. She is a very direct person and her flashy lifestyle and personality gives the book more life. Like on page 51 she directly tells Nick to simply invite her over without telling her that Gatsby will be there.

At the end of chapter 6, it is shown that Gatsby is stuck on the past, and thinks that if Daisy leaves Tom, her marriage with him and years away from Gatsby will be erased. This is shown when on page 69 he is dead set that it is possible to recreate his past with Daisy, he expected her to say to Tom that she never loved him, and walk away from her marriage to be with him. It shows how he is overly optimistic about his relationship with Daisy and is obsessive of her.

In the end of chapter 6 on page 69 Gatsby shows his concern because he believes that Daisy did not like the party. He began to stress to Nick, and this really shows how much his character wants to be perfect and meet the perfect expectations for Daisy. It shows his yearning to be the perfect man for Daisy, his perfect woman.

On Page 69 Nick tells Gatsby he can't recreate the past with Daisy, to which he responds, "Can't repeat the past? Why of course you can!". I think Gatsby is too smart to be acting like this. He is acting naive when we all know he is capable of so much and is smarter in every other aspect of life besides his situation with Daisy. He should be helping the woman he loves instead of demanding too much of her.

At the end of chapter 6 (112), at the party, Daisy and Gatsby kiss. Daisy is cheating on her husband Tom, by having an affair with Gatsby. Even worse, she is very open about the situation and isn't ashamed of her actions, she feels no remorse for cheating on her own husband.

At the end of chapter 6, Gatsby is having a conversation with Nick about Daisy. He says that he wants her to tell Tom she does not love him anymore and be with him forever (116). I think that this was a very child-like and immature thing to do. Although I do not think Tom and Daisy have a loving relationship with each other, it is still wrong to ask a woman to leave her husband. I think that Gatsby needs to move on in a way where he can be happy without Daisy.

I think that Gatsby is a very caring, but also mysterious man. In chapter 6, Gatsby is worrying about Daisy's opinion of the party and says, "'She didn't like it,' he said immediately. 'Of course she did.' 'She didn't like it,' he insisted. 'She didn't have a good time'" (Fitzgerald 116). In the beginning of the story, Gatsby was not known personally by many people, he was more of just somebody who people knew his name, but as you get to know him, he is very caring and wants to make sure everyone is having a good time.

At the end of chapter 6, Gatsby is talking to Nick about how he wants Daisy to tell Tom that she never loved him. Nick tries to talk some sense into him, but he says, "Can't repeat the past? Why of course you can!" (110). I think Gatsby is so hung up on Daisy that he hasn't seen the many opportunities in front of him that could have exceeded his expectations. He's built up such a narrative over the years of what Daisy is like that he'll likely be disappointed if they ever get into a relationship.

Near the end of chapter 5 (page 84) Jordan goes on to talk about how Gatsby has done all of these things just to get a chance to meet Daisy again. He gets a house across from hers and hosts parties in hopes that she will come and I think that is the sweetest thing ever. If you really love someone then you'll go through the lengths and hardships to be with them again. I can't hate on a character for fighting for love. Gatsby is a hardworking and loyal man.

In chapter five and six, we learn a little bit more about Gatsby's dreams with Daisy. I found myself annoyed by Gatsby's overly-high expectations of her, even though it was his fault she is a real person and not the dream girl he fantasized about. On page 111, Nick describes how Gatsby expects Daisy to leave Tom right away, which I see as arrogant and unrealistic.

I think that Gatsby is an abnormal character and somewhat of a weirdo, this is because at the end of Chapter 6 he explains to Nick that he wants to reinvent the past, he is basically saying that they should just be able to go back to how they were many years ago (pg. 71). This gives off a weird vibe to the reader because it isn't normalized to talk in this way about a married women, especially when all he has done for the past 5 years in obsess over this women even though until about a week ago he hadn't talked to her for 5 years.

In the book, all Gatsby wants is to have Daisy even though she is married to Tom. He says on page 92, "Five years next November." This awkward moment shows his devotion to Daisy and how much he cares for their relationship. He does have negative traits in the story, but every one shown to Daisy is loving and proves how he cares for her.

In chapter V where Nick offers Gatsby to invite Daisy over and helps Gatsby to pull himself together (83 - 88). In my opinion Nick is like a chain link that pulls others together like getting Daisy and Gatsby together and pulling Gatsby to calm down but you don't really notice the middle link.

When we first meet Daisy, she seems like a sweet person with genuine intentions. But throughout the book, while Gatsby gives her a tour of his house, she starts having second thoughts on who she should've married. "'They're such beautiful shirts,' she sobbed" (58). Daisy is now thinking about what her life could've been with Gatsby instead of Tom. Only thinking of how wealthy Gatsby is, makes Daisy want to leave Tom. This makes her seem like a gold digger, who cant make up her mind on who she would rather be with.

In chapter 6, Gatsby is very upset when Nick tries to tell him that he can't repeat the past with Daisy. This shows how obsessed Gatsby is with Daisy, because it is to the point where it is clouding Gatsby's judgement and logical thinking. In the beginning of the story he is described as a very smart and successful man, but where Daisy is concerned, it seems like all his logic is just out the window. He doesn't have realistic expectations for his future with Daisy, which is why he is saying things like, "I'm going to fix everything just the way it was before" (111).

Throughout the book, Gatsby lies to Nick on many occasions, such as when Gatsby made up his past in chapter 4. Gatsby informs Nick that he "came into a good deal of money"(42) and "lived like a young rajah in all the capitals of Europe"(42). I think Nick is very intelligent and is very suitable as a narrator for the book because of his wits. He recognizes all of the lies being told in the book, even mentioning how he feels that he is "one of the few honest people"(39) that he has met. His wits help carry the book along and provide context for the reader in many different scenarios, making him a perfect fit as a narrator.

I really enjoy Daisy's chacter, specifically in chapter one on page 13. I found it very entertaining that when Tom was being racist she pokes fun at him. It made me appreciate her, that even though this takes place in the 20's she still speaks her mind and shares her thoughts. Throughout the chapter she is very humorous and I think it brings a lot to the story.

At the end of chapter 6 on page 68 we see that Tom is very eager to find out anything and everything that he can about Gatsby. He is demanding to know what he does for work and all about him. This shows a side of Tom that is less obvious which is insecurity. Tom cannot stand being less rich or grand than someone so as shown here when he feels that way he gets pressed and he wants to prove to himself that Gatsby is not better than he is.

I think Jordan is the only character in this story with her feet on the ground. Every other character in this story wants something that they can't have and Jordan is the only one that is content with her life. In chapter 7 of the story, Nick describes Jordan as being someone who is "too wise ever to carry well-forgotten dreams from age to age." Showing that she is happy with her life now and doesn't want it to change, and doesn't dwell in the past like other characters.

I think that Daisy is a very complicated and confusing character. In the beginning she seems as though she has everything while also having nothing, the reason for this is that she has a lot of material things but is not happy. This is seen in chapter 1 when she says ¨You see I think everything's terrible anyhow," she went on in a convinced way. "Everybody thinks so—the most advanced people. And I know. I've been everywhere and seen everything and done everything." This shows that she has done everything and has a lot but still thinks life is terrible.

Tom is very hypocritical in ways. In chapter 6, Tom is very curious of Gatsby when he says, "'Who is this Gatsby anyhow?' demanded Tom suddenly, 'Some big bootlegger?'" (Fitzgerald 114). Tom has been having his own affair long before Daisy and Gatsby rekindled their connection. At times he is very on edge just saying Gatsby's name and seems to judge their relationship, even though he is doing the same exact thing, but unlike Daisy, doesn't have the dignity to admit that he no longer wants to be with her.

On top of Gatsby's rich and lavish lifestyle, he is really just a man who is in love. He has wanted Daisy for five years and all of his parties were really just for her. He gets really stressed out when he plans to finally see her at Nicks house for tea (Page 54) when he paces around the house, and acts really awkward at first. This displays how Gatsbys character is powerful but also actually a loving reminiscent man who focuses a lot on the past when he was with Daisy.

I think Gatsby is expecting a lot from Daisy. In the end of chapter 6 Gatsby wants Daisy to tell Tom that she never loved him on page 69. Gatsby doesn't understand how hard this is for Daisy because he's not married. I feel like Gatsby is putting a lot of pressure on Daisy and this is very hard for Daisy to tell her husband she never loved him. Especially with the affair being pretty new, Daisy is most likely not ready yet and I feel Gatsby should give her some time with this.

In chapter 2, we are introduced to Tom's mistress. She uses Tom for his money and they both cheat on their spouses (31). I already thought Tom was a terrible person to begin with, but the fact that he is a cheater makes him even worse. He is the most egotistical and self-centered character I have ever encountered and I think his money makes him think he is better than those around him. I think that Daisy deserves better, but it is very hard to leave your husband during this time period.

In chapter 6, Gatsby invites Nick, Tom, and Daisy to one of his extravagant parties, where he notices that something is off and immediately assumes that Daisy "didn't have a good time" (Fitzgerald 69). Although Gatsby is wealthy and owns a comically large mansion to throw these flashy parties, he still goes on and on about Daisy, who is already married with a daughter by now. Gatsby doesn't appreciate all the things he already has just to pine over the concept of the woman he loved 5 years ago.

I think that Daisy has always been portrayed as a sophisticated character, having a lot of knowledge and knowing what she wants. Until Chapter 5 on page 62, I thought the same, but when she starts to feed into Gatsby's love for her by staying in Gatsby's home and allowing Nick to leave them together, it portrays her as more of a cheater and not knowing what she wants since she is also married. I think that Daisy needs to figure out what she wants between Gatsby and Tom because Gatsby wants to be with her but that can't happen if Daisy and Tom are still married.

On page 13 of chapter one Tom is being racist, and overall a discusting power. I truely am repulsed by him as a person, and that feeling does not change at all as the story progresses. He is a discusting man who is extremely self centered and stuck up. He cheats on Daisy constantly without a second thought, but then when Daisy is with Gatsby he finds it odd and weird. I cant understand why he would think its ok to cheat but then not apply that same logic to Daisy.

In chapter 6 her and Tom are at one of Gatsby's parties. When Tom asks to go have dinner with some other people she says, "and if you want to take down any addresses here's my little gold pencil" (105). This shows that she knows that Tom is most likely going to continue to have affairs, but she doesn't care because she has started to rekindle things with Gatsby. This feels like a power move on her part because it shows that she doesn't care if he goes out and has affairs with other women.

I think that Gatsby is very admirable. He has all this money and a great life and he is ever so in love with Daisy still, even after 5 years. I think that on page 55 when he sates "five years next November" is showing how he has yearned for this girl and wishes he could have her. Although he is a great guy he is also kind of full of himself in a way. he has a lot of connections and all of his friends are very important people. He just picked Nick out of nowhere because he could get him closer to Daisy. Maybe Gatsby is just using Nick for Daisy.

At the end of chapter 6, Daisy kisses Gatsby, she has finally accepted that her husband is cheating on her openly, and instead of shying away from the outside world, she has decided to cheat as well on page 70. I really liked how she was able to find more confidence in herself after starting up with Gatsby again and was able to hold her own more with Tom's cheating, but I feel like she needs to sort out her priorities and figure out which man she wants to be with in the end.

In chapter 6, Tom is at the party and couldn't have acted more uninterested and rude. Nick describes all of the parties as fun filled but when Tom is there, "an unpleasantness in the air". (66) Tom's arrogant and controlling personality lingers over everywhere he goes and everyone can sense it. another example is when Nick describes "Perhaps his presence gave the evening a peculiar quality of oppressiveness". (66) I think this makes a lot of the conversations with him awkward because people don't want to make him angry.

I believe that Nick is in this story to show the "normal people" who aren't consumed in riches, poverty, or unhappy with life. Nick shows in the beginning of the story that he is not able to afford a lot, but he is able to afford Gatsby's shed that was only 80 bucks a month. Fitzgerald uses Nick as a way to show in the in and outs of the story, and makes Nick someone in the story that is more of a normal character.

I really like the role of Tom in the book because although he is the most negatively portrayed character in the novel, his control and oppression of Daisy helps foster these conflicts in many chapters. It is evident that Daisy doesn't enjoy her life with Tom, as he is always cheating on her and diminishing her as a person. Daisy even mentions how terrible her life is and how she is "pretty cynical about everything"(16). However, his oppression leads to the conflicting ideas in the mind of Daisy when she has her affair with Gatsby. She is scared to tell Tom her true feelings because of his power over her, leading to some tense events. This is what makes him a great character for the plot, his power and control over Daisy forces Gatsby to keep dreaming about a different life.

Near the end of Chapter 6, Gatsby wants to "repeat the past" and get Daisy back (111). I think Gatsby just wants to fix his past mistakes but doesn't know he should move on and just be friends with Daisy. So he is past his prime and missed his shot with Daisy. His a good man but I think he is flexing or trying too hard for Daisy.

I think that Gatsby is a very mysterious character. He is always hiding something whether it was his past with Daisy or his work there is always something. In chapter 5 this is shown when Gatsby says ¨You see I think everything's terrible anyhow," she went on in a convinced way. "Everybody thinks so—the most advanced people. And I know. I've been everywhere and seen everything and done everything." This shows how mysterious he is.

I think that Nick is getting too caught up in things involving other people. In chapter 5 he brought Daisy and Gatsby back together (82) by bringing her to his house. He is very involved in others' drama which I think will negatively catch up to him, and he will regret it.

I think that Tom is a very arrogant and rude character. He is a cheating husband that seems to only think the relationship can be open on his side. Tom doesn't seem to want Daisy and Gatsby to talk, leading to his suspicions about Gatsby. (pg 69) Tom shouldn't think that he is allowed to cheat but Daisy isn't allowed to, if that is how their marriage is then they shouldn't be married anymore.

In chapter 4, (73), Mr. Wolfsheim says, "Gatsby is very careful about women. He would never so much as look at a friend's wife." But in Chapter 5, Gatsby is asking Nick to arrange a time that he can meet Daisy, who is married and has a child. Mr. Wolfsheim says he wouldn't even look at a friend's wife. But what if that man isn't his friend, does Gatsby believe it is okay to go after that woman then? Gatsby is having an affair with a married woman, and selling drugs as a business. I don't think Gatsby is as great as he seems.

In chapter 5, Nick invites Daisy and Gatsby to his house for tea so Gatsby might have a chance at reconnecting with Daisy, but when Gatsby tries to take the easy way out, Nick replies by saying that Gatsby is "acting like a little boy... not only that, but [Gatsby]'s rude" (Fitzgerald 56). Nick is trying to help Gatsby, but it does kind of seem like a huge waste of time. Daisy already has a life outside of just Gatsby now, and Gatsby himself is too cowardly to do anything about it. Nick also has his own life to live, but Gatsby's love for Daisy is eclipsing his own personal time.

In chapter 3 page 41 Myrtle is upset that Tom won't leave Daisy to be with her. I think her life is sad and shes weak. The only joy she seems to get is being with Tom even though she's the other woman. She doesn't understand that Tom won't truly love her no matter how beautiful and exciting she is. She is so dependent on Tom to provide happiness and love to her and when they break it off who will she have left.

I think that Tom is a egotistical racist. In the beginning of the story on page 17, he talks about the white race being the dominant race. This shows his true nature and how he is not a good person. He not only is racist, but he is also a cheater. These traits all show how he is a horrible person and in my opinion the worst character I have read in the book so far.
