Chapter Six







The Great Gatsby is a good man who manages to live a happy and optimism lifestyle. I recommend this book because it’s a bout the basics. It’s based on people’s life now a days as well. I find this book very revealing and interesting. Although, It have an impossible understanding. It’s also, ironic because he changed his name in the beginning and made himself from being an ordinary person into this almost super human package of optimism and hope who strives for perfection. I personally truly love this chapter not because of the meeting of Tom and Gatsby but because it captured the reader’s attention, also it’s one of my favorite numbers. In this chapter there was an incident with the reporter it was a problem that had to be deal’d with consequences. Whenever there is the slightest hint that something shady has occurred, Gatsby of course is automatically presumed involved in it automatically.



The story of Jay Gatsby is the quintessential tale of the self made man. Gatsby even invented himself creating the personality of Jay Gatsby from the actual person James Gatz. The full realization of the real Gatsby entails is the character's dream and motivating force. The experience with Dan Cody did not give Gatsby any useful and disirable quality, but did provide him with a concrete idea of what Gatsby wanted to be.



I think that the actual history of Gatsby explains some of the suspicion directed towards him. Although, Unlike Tom or Nick he does not come from an established family. He is one of the '”new rich”, As Tom Buchanan would say.



Tom Buchanan has two major purposes in this novel. He is a alot of danger with his violent bearing manners. Tom has no sense of controlling and holding back,he is as well quite and suspicious, when Daisy is involved. But Tom is also the prime guy of “old money” as Gatsby's would say compared to his thought as the “new rich”.Tom's status furnish him with a sense of crude act towards all others. He automatically assumes that Gatsby must be a bootlegger, because it seems that’s the only explanation for his new found wealth. He considers Gatsby a less important person. And who is automatically unsociable and unacceptable to the members of his social circle. Fitzgerald as well makes it clear in this chapter that Gatsby expects far too much from Daisy. He expects that Daisy will give order to his life and set rights of any confusion. It might not be certain that she might leave her husband for him, Gatsby expects her to give up and put aside any feelings she may have for Tom and to return to how her life was five years before. This points out a great arrogance with Gatsby. He sincerely believes that he can fix everything and for it to be how it was before. But part of Gatsby's goal is to prove Daisy wrong for marrying Tom.
