Gatsby was living according to a fling he had as a young adult and a decade later he was still in love with her.Morgan O 7-8https://www.blogger.com/profile/15511398036767890580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3912002613105678034.post-89376444670563175372011-03-13T20:54:51.664-04:002011-03-13T20:54:51.664-04:001) I don't think that he throws the parties j...1) I don't think that he throws the parties just to see her. I think he throws them more as an attempt to achieve the status that he dreams about.Adam B. 7-8https://www.blogger.com/profile/03217095046805213680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3912002613105678034.post-27204886334813129542011-03-13T20:39:39.579-04:002011-03-13T20:39:39.579-04:00I agree with Sarah if we did not dream big we woul...I agree with Sarah if we did not dream big we would all be living in caves.Garret Edward Patrick Graehling 1/2https://www.blogger.com/profile/09525614606161243764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3912002613105678034.post-4757137614314314222011-03-13T20:01:22.430-04:002011-03-13T20:01:22.430-04:00I agree with Sarah that people need to dream big. ...I agree with Sarah that people need to dream big.

I think that it would be unfortunate if the society only accepted him because he threw the parties. <br /><br />Sometimes people need to dream big, even though they may not come true. However, its hard to say if sometimes when people dream big it hurts them or worsens their condition.Sarah N. 7-8https://www.blogger.com/profile/10427424176735127249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3912002613105678034.post-24096960827151921282011-03-13T14:31:02.819-04:002011-03-13T14:31:02.819-04:002.

Although, I think in this case, it is not very likely that he will live with his former love and be accepted fully by society.Unless of course if people were that shallow as to think someone is worthy of living with the wealthy because of his parties. But then again, they should have accepted him even before he had started to throw the parties.Sara D. 7-8https://www.blogger.com/profile/13757197047517917410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3912002613105678034.post-7012584038595442882011-03-13T13:44:03.891-04:002011-03-13T13:44:03.891-04:001.

I think Gatsby is throwing these parties to see his former love because he is trying to impress her by having parties all the time, making him look rich and important.Sevgim A.1-2https://www.blogger.com/profile/01933190935547833650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3912002613105678034.post-82498213381643631232011-03-13T13:19:55.827-04:002011-03-13T13:19:55.827-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Sevgim A.1-2https://www.blogger.com/profile/01933190935547833650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3912002613105678034.post-50132505440623444052011-03-13T12:29:25.649-04:002011-03-13T12:29:25.649-04:001) I agree, I think that Daisy represents this hig...1) I agree, I think that Daisy represents this high-life that Gatsby wants to live so he throws these parties for two reasons; 1. these parties themselves represent the high-life, and 2. He hopes that Daisy will show up to the parties and bring the high-life back to him.<br />2) I don't think he will achieve his dreams, because his dreams are long gone. His dreams of living his life with Daisy died when he left as a young adult. Now he is middle aged and Daisy has an entirely different life. Gatsby cannot expect to live out these dreams anymore because Daisy and Gatsby are not the same people anymore. They have both changed.Morgan O 7-8https://www.blogger.com/profile/15511398036767890580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3912002613105678034.post-63683572585370361302011-03-13T11:07:14.640-04:002011-03-13T11:07:14.640-04:001.

As well as, serving as a hope that his former love will come, because she is wealthy. <br /><br />3. In the beginning it wasn't clear whether or not Gatsby knew Nick had some connection with his former love. However, as the story progressed Gatsby was trying to get Nicks help, in reaching his former love, but I think their relationship also developed into something more.Sarah N. 7-8https://www.blogger.com/profile/10427424176735127249noreply@blogger.com
