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.

Nicks cardinal virtue

Nick's cardinal virtue was that he was the only honest person he ever knew. 

this can either be seen as humble or arrogant. I believe that he wasn't saying it to be arrogant but as a joke, because of everyone in the story is horrable people

GATSBY CHAPTER 3

Two girls talked to Nick about Gatsby and his rumors. One of the rumors was "they thought he killed a man once" they also believed that "he was in the American army during the war.’

Gatsby was so mystery because nobody knew what was true about him.

Nick called the man in Gatsby's library as owl eyes and Valasco.

Valasco means an actor or fake.

Nick initially imagines Gatsby to look like a florid and corpulent person in his middle years, rosy and husky
imposing means to intimidating 

Nick find out that Jordan left a borrowed car out in the rain with the top down and lied about it and she is dishonest.

The next day Nick and Gatsby plan to go on the hydroplane at nine o’clock in the morning.

At the end of the chapter, we learn that Nick's cardinal virtue is," I am one of the few honest people that I have ever known."

cardinal sin means a big deal

is ironic that he's saying this
