The Truth Of American Dream

The American dream is get wealth in new country. Gatsby's story shows the bad side of the American dream. Once he was wealthy, everyone liked him and his party, they wanted to come to Gatsby's party and hang with him, he was famous. Gatsby achieved American dream but when he died no one cared about him. Only reporter came to asking about his behind stories. This shows that people didn't really care about person , they only liked person's wealth. How sad that no one is showing up at funeral. Daisy just went to trip after the bad things happen, which means she didn't care what would happen to Gatsby. "Look here, old sport, you've got to get somebody for me. You've got to try hard. I can't go through this alone." (165) This quote tells that Gatsby already knew that no one will come to his funeral but Nick will. Here is my question. Is Daisy really loved Gatsby him self or she just liked the money he had? Is American dream is only considered about money, not person it self? While I reading The Great Gatsby I learned that money is not all. We need better person next to me, who really care about me, like Nick did.
I liked this book, I learned that money is not all, and I need good person. I also learned that don't spend too much time in one thing, we need plan B.

Wilson found the suspect

In chapter 7 Myrtle died, and in chapter 8 Wilson found the suspect who he thinks killed Myrtle. Wilson was so sad about Myrtle's death. He tried to find person who killed her and he heard that Gatsby's name from others; he thought that Gatsby drove the yellow car,and he knew that yellow car stroke Myrtle. While Michaelis was gone, Wilson went to Gatsby's house to kill him. Gatsby was in the pool and Wilson just came and shot him. After Gatsby died, Nick and Gatsby's gardener found him is dead in the pool. "If that was true he must have felt that he had lost the old warm world, paid a high price for living too long with a single dream" (161) This quote says that Gatsby's long dream, which is getting Daisy back, is over. His dream costed lots of money and times. I think it is kind of happy ending for Gatsby because he has no desire to live, and his dream which planned for 5 years is failed. He lost the reason to live, and he has no dream.

Lunch At Daisy's House

Daisy invited Gatsby and Nick to her house for lunch. When Tom got drinks, the situation got bad. Tom and Gatsby was angry to each other and Gatsby said that Daisy never love Tom at all; he said that Daisy loves Gatsby. "Why - how could I love him - possibly?" (132) Daisy told Tom that she never loved him. Tom got in panic. After all that happened they went back to Long Island, Tom, Nick, and Jordan got in one car and Gatsby and Daisy got in another car. When Tom, Nick and Jordan went to see Wilson, they heard that her wife was hit by yellow coupe, Daisy drove that car. After all that happened, Gatsby stayed next to Daisy's house to see whether Tom is hitting Daisy or not because Daisy said that she doesn't love Tom.
Myrtle is Tom's lover. Tom probably think that Gatsby stroke her. I think Tom will do something to Gatsby to revenge, or George will do something to Gatsby. We'll see that in next chapter.
