The novel The Great Gatsby is a great book to read. The author is F. Scott Fitzgerald. This book is mainly about having a dream to be something and then you fall in love and you doing whatever you can to get what you want. Money is always the key factor in this book. It comes down to who has old money and who has new money. When you read this book there are many ways you can look at it. Some people say that Tom is the worst character in the book. Some say that Gatsby and Nick are the antagonist. To some people Daisy is a beautiful young women that is a sweet and loving character but the way I read this book was that Daisy is the true villain. She is the reason why everything happens the way it does. She is the reason why Gatsby lies and Tom cheats. She is also the reason why Gatsby, Tom and Nick do the things they do. Everything in this book revolves around Daisy. Daisy is a liar, she is careless, she is reckless and she is also a selfish gold digger. She is the problem in this book. The qualities Daisy exhibits identify more with a villain than a hero. …show more content…

She lied to Tom when Tom asked if Daisy knew Gatsby before and Daisy fell in love with Gatsby but Gatsby didn’t have the money Tom did and Gatsby was leaving. “Oh you want too much! I love you now-isn’t that enough? I can’t help what’s past. I did love him once-but I loved you
Daisy and tom are the main characters of the book. Daisy married tom, but her and gatsby had a mysterious relationship before this.

Money isn’t everything it want buy you happiness. These character tried to be something they aint by cheating, or telling people about what they
F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote The Great Gatsby to discuss society, relationships, and money. The book takes place during the roaring 20’s, a time of parties and big business, and follows the lives of Nick, Tom, Daisy, and Jay Gatsby.

Throughout of the duration of The Great Gatsby, we notice that a large handful of characters in the novel has been corrupted by greed. F.

For example, when he is retelling his first encounter with Daisy Buchanan after many years, his description of her and the room she is in is reminiscient of an angel in the heavens both “sad and lovely” (9). His tone changes, however, as the novel goes on and grows more pessimistic by the page. In the end, his description of Daisy is of disgust and almost pity, “they were careless…” (179). According to Mathew B, “the strongest feeling generated…” The horrible reality of a carefree life that is exhibited so thoroughly be Daisy and Tom in the end is in stark contrast to the desired and glamourous world in which they appear to exist. We hear this regret in Nick’s narration. Nowlin sums up Nick’s voice perfectly when he states, “but…” (28). Nick narrates from a future we know nothing about, unlike the narration of BR his story is tainted somewhat with retrospect. The narrators of both F’s writings operate within equally significant and different eras.

The Great Gatsby is an old novel written by F. Scott Fitzgerald in 1925. I believe this story is relevant today and should be taught in high schools and college students because this story show events and actions that are still common now in days. We see materialism, violence, drama, smuggling, murders, suicides, adultery, etc. This are problems that still exist in modern times and students can identify with the novel because we are used to see all those things in the everyday life because of the news, television, radio and internet. I believe students who have the opportunity to read Gatsby can identify the consequences of the problems that alcohol, smuggling, adultery, and others can bring to our lives. The great Gatsby is really important today because it tells a story that somehow happens in everyday life. In this book we can appreciate the materialism is key. Daisy Nick’s cousin got married with someone she did not love just because he had money. After many years of disrespect and violence, she stay with him because the money. She is unhappy being married to Tom. This is so relevant to now in days because there are a lot of people that are willing to do anything for money. This book lets us see how unhappy was daisy with Tom and how poor was her life choices was because she chooses the money over everything. Now days a lot of people are materialistic and this for me is a lesson on why there are more important things that just money. The drama is so
