The Dead Gatsby

Well in truth if you want to be a douche you could say it was Daisy's fault for being the one that Gatsby fell in love with and the one he wanted to become rich for. But in truth it is her fault but not in that way. Instead of simply just telling Gatsby it was too late for him and letting him move on, she had an affair with him and when he thought she would leave Tom, she flipped back around on him because Tom manipulated her. That's when it becomes Tom's fault originally. It fully becomes his fault when he leads George Wilson to believe that Gatsby was the one having an affair with Myrtle and that he was also the one who killed her.

The Okay Gatsby

I think it's titled that because it's almost like a stage name, sorta like with magicians and all that. He's this elusive character that throws all of these great parties but has anyone ever actually seen him? Do they actually know who he is? No, they just know he throws great parties so to them he's The Great Gatsby.

Such Beautiful, Much Quote

“I hope she'll be a fool -- that's the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool.”  it shows that Daisy is a lot smarter than everyone makes her out to be.

Worth Fighting For

Equal rights are worth fighting for which is kind of a dumb statement because we should already have them which is exactly why they're worth fighting for.

I believe that the most meaningful moment in the first chapter of the Great Gatsby was when Nick was talking about what his father told him about judging people.

Personality

I would probably not act any different because I would end up twisting everything around in my head like "Okay so I can control my personality" and then I change something but then I'd be like "Is my personality really changed?" and then I'd have this whole conversation with myself in my head and everything would get jumbled up so I'd just not change anything and skip over the whole fighting with myself thing.

Rich people

I don't know any rich people so i can't say it from a personal point of view but from what I see in today's society, most rich people aren't good. That's only because they have this opportunity to do what they want without, mostly without, consequence. It's just a handful of people, but in general, the fact that money runs the world is what gives rich people the opportunity to be awful.
