Chapter #9 - Gatsby's Death

Two years later, after Gatsby has left the earth, the crew (Daisy, Tom, Jordan, and Nick) have all split up. Nick was still reminiscing the times with Gatsby and Daisy saying "He had come a long way to this blue lawn and his dream must have seemed so close that he could hardly fail to grasp it" (Fitzgerald 189). I predicted that a big funeral was going to occur, but instead it was just reporters, Nick, and Gatsby's dad pretty much! It was sad to see that no one showed up, goes to show people just used him for his parties and wealth. I feel like that's how Hollywood stars are! Like, all the stars have all the friends, money and camera time and what not till they lose it all one day and now they have no one because people only liked them for their possessions, and wealth. "The Great Gatsby" was a very materialistic book, it had a lot of very mean and cruel people only using one another for the wealth and power they had. And it went to show when it goes away so do the fake friends and other people that only use that person for the parties and what not. I liked the book overall though, it really showed a lesson that we should all take into heart. Never to judge a person on what he or she has or looks like from the outside. We are all human and we all have feelings and just because one person is richer than another than that doesn't mean you can't be their friends, everyone is just unique and different from one another and I feel that's how Gatsby's and Nick's relationship was. I predict in the future that all of them are going to move away and lose all contact with each other. There all going to be gone and forgotten by each other.
