Chapter 9 Blog Bachelart

I was kind of surprised at who attended Gatsby's funeral and who didn't. I believe it was extremely rude that Tom and Daisy didn't show up at his funeral. Daisy should've at least done or said something. The only people that came to the funeral where Nick, some of Gatsby's old servants, Owl Eyes, Henry C. Gatzy and of course Gatsby's father. None of the people that Gatsby really cared for came though. This is very sad for Gatsby in my opinion. It shows a complete lack of respect towards him. I do believe though that maybe these people that didn't come didn't because they got tired of Gatsby. They got tired of his lies, of him always showing his wealth and of him manipulating people to get the things that he wants (what he did with Nick at times). What is meant to show us here is that no one cared much about Gatsby at the end of the novel and his death wasn't very important to many. Although you can say it in this way you can also say that it was rude on the others part to have not showed up. Even if Gatsby wasn't the best person in the world he still cared for others to some extent and he should've been rewarded with more people attending his funeral.

Chapter 7-8 Blog Bachelart

These two chapters were definitely full of important events. It's funny because I kind of saw this coming. As Gatsby and Daisy's love grew stronger so did Tom's anger and jealousy. In my opinion there is no way that they could've gotten back together. I also believe that after Gatsby's past mysterious life was revealed it heated up some trouble to come in his direction. At one point the story couldn't continue on like this. There's no way that Gatsby and Daisy could've married each other and that Gatsby's "shady" past could've been unavoided. Even though Gatsby got close to doing this it was only a dream to be realized as he was shot by Wilson while floating in his pool at the end of Chapter 8. I believe that there were hints a bit everywhere that led to this conclusion. I think the main one was when Nick revealed Gatsby's real past to the others. That only threw negative impressions at Gatsby and it made him look bad.

Chapter 6 Blog Bachelart

I believe that Gatsby made up a lie about his heritage and his childhood this whole time to hide his real identity from others. Gatsby is someone who wants everyone to know that he is a rich, powerful and smart businessman but that isn't quite the case. Gatsby was basically a nobody during his early childhood making barely any money and spending his summer fishing and looking for clams. He was lucky to have been picked up by Dan Cody. Nick only tells us the truth about Gatsby now because I think he wanted the people to know the truth about Gatsby. Maybe Nick didn't know the whole truth at the beginning of the book and now that he is starting to realize these things about Gatsby he doesn’t trust him anymore. Telling the truth about him could've reassured Nick.

Chapter 5 Blog Bachelart

When Nick says in this Chapter that Gatsby’s count of enchanted objects has diminished by one he is referring to the flashing green light that he usually looks at across the lake each night. To Gatsby this green light represents Daisy and each night when he observed it, it reminded him of her. Gatsby has lost this enchanted object because he doesn’t have the obligation to look at it anymore. He is now in much better terms with Daisy after having seen her again and the green light simply doesn’t matter to him as much. After not seeing each other for many years it seemed as if Gatbsy and Daisy were quite happy together again.
