Throughout the narrative, Nick becomes disgusted by careless people which results in his desire to condemn others for their selfish actions and his choice to go back home. Ewing Klipspringer is a very careless character in The Great Gatsby. He benefited probably more than anyone from Gatsby, he was always at the parties and basically lived there. People even called him the boarder, as in a boarding house or hotel. Even though Klipspringer was living rent-free and benefiting from Gatsby, he never went to Gatsby’s funeral.
When the idea of the 1920’s comes up the first thought is “the roaring twenties” with parties, wealth, and dancing. Often the issues of the time are forgotten. However, The Great Gatsby stands as a window into the social system of the 1920’s. With references to racism and prohibition, Fitzgerald created a story that gives a sense of society at this time. However, the most evident issue is the sexism often portrayed.
Daisy was a powerful woman in the book The Great Gatsby. With her loud, beautiful voice. She always was getting men to look her way. Even though she was ditzy, she was a influential person in the 1920's. Daisy was a flirt and could never be with just one man.
We are first introduced to gatsby in the end of chapter 1 When he is staring across the bay at a green light then he disappears. Later in chapter 3 Nick meets Gatsby and they become friends. Gatsby’s dream is to get with daisy but he has to find a way to get around Tom. “Gatsby Bought that House so daisy would be just across the bay”(Fitzgerald 78). This quote show Gatsby is a very mysterious character and it also shows he must have history with daisy.
In addition to his large parties, buying a house across the bay further shows the attachment Gatsby has to Daisy. Their relationship shaped his entire life and heavily influenced his choices. Gatsby makes this large purchase so he can stay in proximity to her and make sure that she is not slipping away. Furthermore, the remarkable mansion is also an attempt to impress and prove to Daisy that he is no longer the poor man he once was. Because Gatsby moves so close to the Buchanan’s house, he can see the green light at the end of their dock.
In the book The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, the main character Nick, lived in West Egg, New York. He met this rich guy named Gatsby. From then on it was all about Gatsby trying to get Nick's cousin, Daisy's attention. In the book The Great Gatsby, Daisy was not the right woman for Gatsby.
“Daisy! Daisy! Daisy!” Many girls in the world pretend to be something they’re not, but pretending to be stupid is the most common. The rich and beautiful Daisy Buchanan acts as if she doesn’t understand everything that goes on around her, like the way she plays Tom and Gatsby for her own benefit shows how smart and deceptive she actually is.
Perception is how someone sees something or someone. Like what someone may think of someone or something. In The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald Gatsby’s perception of Daisy is revealed throughout the novel. Gatsby is in love with Daisy. Daisy is in love with Tom’s wealth and the freedom he gives her, but she really loved Gatsby and Gatsby knows that.
Overall, a lot of people say that if you are deeply in love with somebody, people will go above and beyond to protect your love. There are many people that actually go extreme to protect them. For example, in the book Gatsby goes above and beyond to be with Daisy. In addition, Gatsby loves Daisy and it seems like he would do anything to be with her. Which means that Gatsby is trying to do anything to protect her.
It seems so simple for Daisy to leave Tom and run to Gatsby but when in reality she had more than just her wealth on the line, she and Tom had a child together. The child wasn't brought up much during the novel and Gatsby doesn't put much thought into this his only worry is for Daisy and this reflects some of his selfish behaviors we are faced with throughout the book. Gatsby gives up his old life to create a new one in the same class as Daisy and he expects Daisy to give up her life she's created with Tom this projects how Gatsby does things for only his own personal gain.

Many individuals seek the “American Dream” when moving to America, whether it is to find a well-paying job, or even to enjoy the American freedom it grants. Either way, to live the American dream, you need to find the right friends to surround yourself with along the way. The American Dream can be obtained, but it can also have obstacles along the journey. The American dream can be reached if you are careful with the people you choose along the way. In the novel The Great Gatsby, Gatsby pursues his love for Daisy throughout the book, meaning he pushes his past further away by having her love and even eventually getting married.
My opinion about Daisy is that I think she is a good person in some ways but in many, she isn’t a good person. In some parts of the book she doesn’t seem like she is a good person but I also think that Daisy is scared. I think that Daisy wanted to leave Tom but she was too scared to leave him and go to Gatsby.
Heaven or Hell Daisy may have been getting cheated on, but she was as innocent as she seemed. The Great Gatsby had many twists and turns. Jay loved Daisy so much that he was blind to the signs that she didn’t 100% feel the same way about him. I know for a fact that she loved him once upon a time but that was many years ago. I wish Jay could have opened his eyes sooner and seen that Daisy is a terrible person who uses people then leaves when time gets rough.
Daisy remembers the good times that she and Gatsby shared. While she remembers that, she also thinks about how she and Tom are going through some rough patches at the moment. “... she, like Gatsby, cultivated fond memories of a dream lover” (Fryer 51). Both of them forget that they haven’t seen each other in five years, and people change in that amount of time. Gatsby thinks he knows Daisy, but after that amount of time, she was different.
Throughout The Great Gatsby, Jay Gatsby expresses his love for Daisy in many ways. When Daisy and Gatsby met again a few years after Gatsby came back from the war, they instantly fell in love with each other all over again. Gatsby will do anything to make Daisy happy and keep her safe so that she can love him as much as he loves her. Daisy and Gatsby’s relationship and feelings towards each other change throughout the novel. One song that represents Daisy and Gatsby’s relationship very well is “Young and Beautiful” by Lana Del Ray.
