As we read through each chapters, I noticed that Gatsby had an obsession with Daisy. He did everything to please her. He even became rich for her. He gave his life to her. Just like immigrants came here with a goal, to the land of opportunity, known as America. They bet their lives on it.
Even though he became rich, he didn't gain much from it. He only got people, that wanted something from him. He knew that but didn't care because all he wanted was Daisy. Even though, Daisy,was just playing around with Gatsby. He thought he finally had the chance to have her again. Gatsby desperately wanted something that he couldn't get. He symbolizes our desires, to have something that we can't have.
He was to selfish to want something that can't happen. Many people want more then they can have. Gatsby wanted to relive the past he had with Daisy. He was asking more then he can have. People can not have everything life. That why people always say, "Life is always unfair." We will always want many things, even if you are rich that doesn't change anything. No matter, who you are, you can't have everything. That's just the way, it is.

CUE THEME MUSIC
In my English class, we read The Great Gatsby. In class, our teacher asked us to say what we think is the central message. Each group, said something completely different then what I thought. In end, I went with this central message, people become more messed up to get what they want. The character in the story were messed up. Daisy just wanted money. She used Gatsby to get what she wanted. Her husband is also rich that why she married him, then Gatsby. Gatsby was not rich when Daisy met Gatsby for the first time. That's why she got married to Tom. When Tom met Gatsby, he didn't like him because he thought he was a show off. Daisy, get in an accident. She kills Tom's mistress. Tom get very angry. Gatsby covers for Daisy, making sure no one finds out that she is the one that killed her. Daisy used him, because of this Tom thought that he killed Mrs. Wilson Tom. tells Mr. Wilson that Gatsby is the owner of that car that killed his wife. In reality, the car was his. I think he told him that to get rid of him because Tom didn't like him to begin with. I felt that he knew that Daisy was that Killed Mrs. Wilson.

THE GREAT GATSBY CHAPTER 6 PAGES (103-118)
-Gatsby changed his name when he was young. The name that he had before was James Gatz. He always knew what name he name he want. So he went with Jay Gatsby. Gatsby met a rich man called Dan Cody
-Gatsby started working for Dan Cody after Cody talked to him. While working for Cody, he worked as a steward, mate, skipper, secretary, and jailor. Cody had more and more faith in Gatsby.
-Gatsby seem to have a lot of respect to Cody. Cody died later on, after he encountered a woman named Ella Kaye. Gatsby was going to inherit twenty-five thousands dollars from Cody. Instead, he got nothing. He doesn't know why but he knew, that money went to Ella Kaye.
Nick goes over to Gatsby house after not visiting around for two months. When he went over her saw that Tom was there and other people. He was shocked to see him there. He knew that Gatsby felt uncomfortable being there with Tom. There was a lady that invited Gatsby to ride a horse. Even thought the lady invited him. Tom was saying that why should Gatsby come when the lady doesn't want him to. Nick was surprised to hear when he clearly heard that the lady invited him. I had no idea that she was inviting him just to be nice but didn't mean it. I thought everyone liked being around Gatsby.

PREVIEW OF GATSBY ESSAY
As we read through each chapters, I noticed that Gatsby had an obsession with Daisy. He did everything to please her. He even became rich for her. He gave his life to her. Just like immigrants came here with a goal, to the land of opportunity, known as America. They bet their lives on it.
Even though he became rich, he didn't gain much from it. He only got people, that wanted something from him. He knew that but didn't care because all he wanted was Daisy. Even though, Daisy,was just playing around with Gatsby. He thought he finally had the chance to have her again. Gatsby desperately wanted something that he couldn't get. He symbolizes our desires, to have something that we can't have.
He was to selfish to want something that can't happen. Many people want more then they can have. Gatsby wanted to relive the past he had with Daisy. He was asking more then he can have. People can not have everything life. That why people always say, "Life is always unfair." We will always want many things, even if you are rich that doesn't change anything. No matter, who you are, you can't have everything. That's just the way, it is.

WHAT'S SO GREAT ABOUT GATSBY
In some way, Gatsby is a great person because he did everything to get Daisy to love him. He would have given her everything she asked for. Nick who was the narrator, was not that honest because he hanged out with people that were so self-centered. He knew that but he was always hanging out with them. The reason why I think, he respected them was because of the advice that his dad gave him. He probably wanted to have a relationship to benefit from them. Fitzgerald described Tom and Daisy as “They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.” They didn't care about anyone else but their selves. I strongly agree with Fitzgerald. I understood that Daisy was lost and no on to guide but the choices she made were bad. I would not let her near my family. Fitzgerald also wrote something else,"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past." I think it means that we can't undo something that already happened. Just like Gatsby tried to make everything go back, like it was in the past.
chapter 8
1. Gatsby waited for Daisy though the whole night. In till, 4 in the morning on the next day.
2. Nick told Gatsby to run away before things got worse. Gatsby said that he won't leave because he doesn't want to leave Daisy in till he finds out what she going to do.
