Blog 2 Great Gatsby

1. I believe the purpose of Meyer Wolfsheim is to make us look at Gatsby in a new light. Meyer Wolfsheim is a very odd character and reveals part of Gatsby's past that is very mysterious. This makes me think of Gatsby in a bad way because Wolfsheim makes Gatsby seem like a bad character which makes me reconsider my earlier judgements of him.

2. Gatsby and Daisy's past makes me feel bad for Gatsby because Daisy let him for Tom. I feel bad for him because Daisy was his first love and she was supposed to wait for him but she didn't. This is depressing because it shows that Daisy may not have loved Gatsby which makes me feel sympathy towards him.

3.The rest of Gatsby's path makes me think that Gatsby is lonely and depends on money too much because he went through all of that trouble to become rich. It makes me think that Gatsby is a greedy man.

4. Before these three chapters I thought that Gatsby was a man that just liked to throw parties because he was rich. But after these three chapters I feel like Gatsby may have done some bad things in his past to get his money but now I feel like he is using his money for a good reason (to get Daisy back) so I think that his motives are okay.
