I believe the central message of the Great Gatsby is about letting go of the past, if you don't you’re just gonna end up living in a world of false hope thinking that something will be the same as it was in the past. If Gatsby continued with his life could have lived a wonderful life, but instead he gave up on his future and tried to recreate the past and ended up sad, desperate, and lastly dead. The American Dream is not able to be achieved. Jay Gatsby had worked his way up from nothing to attaining great wealth becoming a socialite, however, having so much wealth & being able to get at anyone else other than Daisy, Gatsby's dream was to have a future with his past love, Daisy.

If Daisy had left Tom for Gatsby I think they're relationship would be like a roller coaster, it would have his up & downs. Two years into their relationship & i think they would not be quiet happy with each other, they’d might get tired of each other. Probably Gatbsy would get tired of her & be like Tom having affairs with other women.

Something interesting from the book is that Nick arranges a reunion between  Gatsby  and Daisy, during this happening, Jordan tells Nick about Daisy and  Gatsby's  past relation. Then  Gatsby  and Daisy fall back  in  love but Daisy isn’t willing to get back with him.  Gatsby  then tells Nick one of his life stories. But many of the stories that  Gatsby  tells about himself turn out to be false or slightly true. The part I enjoyed reading was when Gatsby & Daisy got into a car accident which killed Myrtle, Tom Buchanans girlfriend, even though Tom was Daisy’s Husband at the time. The thing that the author used to make me observe was the fact that Tom snitched on Gatsby so that nothing would’ve happened to him or Daisy.

Journal 3/3/20 Holiday for today can be about the success of life. We should celebrate what have are race accomplished over the years in innovation. Although we are using too many earth resources we have to put that in perspective that we have to work on something that improves our environments health.

Gatsby  is a  great person  because he is a goal driven guy who started from the bottom & worked his way up. He had nothing and he was able to create an identity for himself in a world where the wealth and status of one is value-able. Nick is not  honest with himself  or with other characters
