Summary:

The narrator of the story, Nick Carraway, attended Yale University. He now lives in the West Egg of Long Island, New York. He works in New York City as a bondsman. Living next door to Nick is Jay Gatspy, a rather wealthy man. Gatspy holds many parties on the weekends. Nick finds out about Gatspy through a relative, Daisy, who lives in the East Egg. Daisy is married to a millionaire man named Tom. Daisy and Gatspy met many years back; Gatspy was rejected because Daisy claimed he did not have enough money for her liking. Since Tom had lots of money Daisy decides to marry him. After being rejected, Gatspy spent all of his time trying to get rich so he could impress Daisy and win her back from Tom. Daisy soon realizes Gatspy wealth and they begin to spend a lot of time together. Tom begins to become suspicious, but he has already made Daisy mad by having an affair with Myrtle Wilson. To**m being the wealthy man h**e is buys Myrtle an apartment. One night at the apartment Myrtle is yelling Daisy name extremely loud and Tom grows angry. He asks her to stop and she doesn’t. Tom then hits Myrtle and breaks her nose. Gatspy stops holding his weekend parties because Daisy has stopped liking them. Nick now distances himself from all of this mess and becomes close to Jordan Baker, a friend of Daisy. In a hotel room in New York City, Jordan, Nick, Daisy, Tom, and Gatspy discuss business. Gatspy and Daisy leave the party, on the long drive back to Long Island, Daisy is driving Gatspy’s car and she hits and kills Myrtle Wilson with the car. Daisy doesn’t stop and speeds away towards Long Island. Gatspy takes the blame for Myrtle’s death. Tom Buchanan finds out about Myrtle’s death and goes to Gatspy’s house and shoots him while he is floating in his pool then, Tom kills himself. At Gatspy’s funeral few people attend except for Tom and Gatspy’s father who has come all the way from the Midwest where Gatspy grew up. Tom and Daisy don’t show and the other hundreds of people who attended Gatspy’s parties were absent. Nick finally has had enough of all the chaos and moves back to the Midwest.

Characters:

Tom- Tom was all about the women. Many people would consider him to be a hypocrite. He cheated on his wife Daisy and had a lot of money so he thought he could anything he wanted just because he had money. Tom’s view of the American Dream is money and women. He thought the world evolved around that.

Wilson- Wilson was the only character that worked hard for what he had. He loved his wife dearly, he loved her for who she was. __His view of the American Dream is the most common and believable. His dream is ordinary, the kind most Americans live.__

Gatspy- His obsession **of** - with Daisy leads to his death. Gatspy has worked all his life trying to win over Daisy. Even though she only wanted him for his money. Gatspy didn’t see far enough into to Daisy to see what she wanted him for. Gatspy’s view of the American Dream is to have a lot of money and own a mansion just so you can have the women of your dreams

Daisy- Daisy wanted a man with a lot of money; she had that in Tom and Gatspy. She didn’t truly love them, but was in it for the money. Daisy was all about the money, she didn’t care what happened to her she just wanted to be married to a wealthy man. Daisy view of the American Dream was money.

Nick- Nick was a neutral character throughout the story. He was the narrator and claimed to be a well-behaved man. He hung around people who lied and cheated. I don’t see Nick being any different. His view of the American Dream is to be like Gatspy. He thought Gatspy had it all. Nick thinks all you need in life is money.

Myrtle- Myrtle cheated on her husband with Tom. I think **myrtle** was also in it for the money just like Daisy. She would go to parties with To**m, and** get drunk. Her view of the American Dream was have a man on the side that had money so she could live a better life. Myrtle also thought all you need in life is money.

Great American Classic:

//Great Gatspy// is a very famous American Novel. Though the story may seem sa**d it** drives across a very good theme. For some of the characters in the story, some of the events in the book made their life very hard. This book is such a great American classic because the plot in the story can relate to **every day** people. **Whether you’re rich, poor or right in the middle - frag!.** You can even relate the story to events in present days, such as any celebrity cheating scandals that are going on in the news right now. To live the American Dream you don’t have to have all the money in the world and live in the biggest house. You just need to work hard for what you have and love your family for who they are. Don’t love someone just for his or her money. I think that is what the author is trying to tell you through this book.
