Gatsby #2

In the first part of the book everyone is guessing where Gatsby is from and how he made his money. Even Gatsby himself says he went to Oxford and got his money by being from a wealthy family. When Meyer Wolfsheim enters the story he brings a shady side. He has cuff links made of human molars. Gatsby says Mr. Wolfsheim is a gambler and actually fixed the World Series in 1919. This makes you think that maybe Gatsby is into some shady business by keeping company with Mr. Wolfsheim. After learning of Daisy and Gatsby's past, you start to realize Gatsby is doing everything he can to impress Daisy. Mostly showing off his wealth, his big mansion, fancy car, servants and big parties. It appears that Daisy's parents did not approve of her dating a soldier, Jay Gatsby, and put an end to their relationship. She ended up marrying Tom, a very wealthy man. This makes the reader feel that Gatsby was not good enough for Daisy. Gatsby thinks if he becomes a richer man, he will win her back. This makes me feel very sorry for him. He loves her and all he wants to do is be with her. It seems like everything he has ever done since meeting and losing her, is done to impress her. I guess I like him more but definitely feel sorry for him. He will probably never be good enough. Even though he seems more shady, I definitely feel he is deeply in love with Daisy and it makes me want him to win because he is the underdog.
