Chapter # 6 - Money Can't Buy Love
In chapter 6, I was reading "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald, and couldn't help but think how cocky and so high up Gatsby is. The author stresses a lot of how Gatsby can win over Daisy with money and how everything will go perfect by buying Daisy's love and such. Tom is very mad at Daisy on how she keeps visiting how Daisy talks, hangs out, and flirts (in a non noticeable way) with Gatsby. I predict that fireworks are going to fly soon with Tom and Gatsby! Tom is starting to catch on I feel and it won't be long before something goes down between them and before you know it, guess who is going to be involved, poor old NICK! Nick, as of now, knows all pretty much, from all the secrets, to the cheating going on. I feel bad for Nick, he's in a horrible spot and if he doesn't say something soon, something is going to happen and it's not going to look pretty! Also, as I was reading in the chapter, it talked about how Daisy did not have a good time at Gatsby's party. Gatsby is trying so hard to impress her and make her happy and it doesn't seem to work. I too have been in a possession like that (trying to impress a girl), and sometimes it just doesn't work. Its ok! But as for Gatsby, he just won't give up! He using all of his money to make her happy when really as the old saying goes, "Money can't buy you happiness", and good old Gatsby is still trying to figure that out. I do predict though, that in the future of this book, Gatsby will start to notice that hopefully, and not use his money as much to impress Daisy but rather love her and try to win her back without possessions and money but what is from his heart. We'll just have to see!
