The great gatsby essay

The great Gatsby was a story about a guy who thought him and the girl we’re in love but in reality she didn’t get it she didn’t care about him. He tried everything to get her but at the end he found out You can’t buy happiness but sometimes money can bring your torture with in yourself.

Gaspee’s desire for success to him was defined as loving Daisy but he love the version of her that wasn’t there anymore when he came back from war. she was a different person she changed along the years she married somebody who didn’t love her but that’s all she knew. Gatsby tried everything from giving her a big party the way he thought she would love it, he designed everything in this house for her but she just wanted the money and attention she didn’t love him she loved what he can get her. even after everything he went through to try to do everything for her she didn’t care. He sacrificed his own life his own identity to save her is when she ran over Mrs. Wilson. he didn’t care he thought he was doing it for love she just want to use him. This shows that people don’t care even in our society now just because you love somebody doesn’t mean they’re gonna love you back even if you do everything for them it doesn’t mean anything.

Cue the theme music

The theme of Gatsby to me is that no matter how hard you try you can’t make someone love you. The way Gatsby just wanted to make daisy love him even tho she doesn’t care about him like he does.

Whats so great about Gatsby

The great thing about The Great Gatsby is that the characters and their decisions also reflect life in America today.  For example, it shows how people can be selfish and only help themselves like Dasiy does throughout the whole book with her only thinking about herself and not Gatsby.
Gatsby is good for the reason that he was just in love with Daisy and wanted her even if in the end it hurt him but he was just trying to show her he loved her but of course she didn't like him for him just his money.
