What I was feeling when thinking about Gatsby

Reflecting on Gatsby's life, I realized that there were some things that I really liked about him, but there were other things in his life and personality that I did not approve of. He was a kind man and truly loved Daisy, which is a bit more than I can say for Tom; he threw parties all the time just so Daisy would come and see him again. Whenever something happened at his parties, such as a woman ruining her dress, he would go so far as to send a new, much more expensive dress to her. I did not, however, like the fact that he was illegally acquiring his riches. I am an honest man, so I never wanted to get involved with a man like him, or like his friend, Wolfsheim. He was an overall okay man, though. I have to admit, he certainly changed my life.

  1. It is true that I have made decisions in life that are not exactly accepted into society. I did go to the extent to make as much money as possible by any means necessary. All of this was to impress Daisy though. I would do anything for her, and that's what really matters.
