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.
