Why I moved back to the Midwest

I moved back to the Midwest from West Egg because it was all too much. Rich people only cared about you if you were rich too; the only reason I even moved there was because Tom and Daisy were there. Since they left, I had no reason to stay, I would not even have Gatsby as a friend. In the Midwest, people do not care about how much money you have, how big your house is, or how new your car is; they judge you by your character, how hard you work, and how kind you are. They are much less superficial than the people in New York, always wanting more, more, more. I needed to get away from those kinds of people before I became one of them too.
