    The Great Gatsby

    By: Fitzgerald, F.Scott in 1925

    In the novel gaspty has these big,


    wild parties in his house. I believe
    they represent him trying to relive
    the past.
    1

    "Gatsby bought that house so that


    Daisy would be just across the bay".

    2 This quote shows how Gastby is


    doing so much to just be close to her
    when he could have just moved on
    and not stay in the past.

    "I behave that on the first night I went


    to Gabsby's house I was one of the

    3
    few guests who had actually been
    invited". This quote shows when
    Gatsby invited Nick just so later on he
    could get daisy to come over.

    "If you'll invite Daisy to you house

    4
    some afternoon and then let him
    come over". This quote shows
    Gabsty telling Nik to invite Daisy
    over so he can see her.

    In the end Gatsby seems to do all


    of this just for this one girl he

    5
    could have just gotten over and
    lived his life to the fullest and in
    the end of the story he ends up
    dying because of the lead up of
    what he did to get to her.
