The Great Gatsby Chapter 6 Reaction

In this chapter I learned a lot about Gatsby’s past. I thought he had a very interesting past. I felt really bad when I read that he had to do janitorial work just to pay tuition for college and even worse when because of it he dropped out only after two weeks. When Gatsby was working on Lake Superior and swam out and meet Dan Cody, which was very awesome for Gatsby. I thought it was very interesting how Gatsby had to watch Cody when he was drunk and that is how Gatsby became a non-alcoholic. When Cody died and left Gatsby 25,000 dollars but Cody’s mistress prevented Gatsby from getting it, that made me really hate the mistress, why wouldn’t she let a poor person like Gatsby have that money? It was all good in the end because Gatsby made it lifelong goal to become a wealthy and successful man which was awesome because he accomplished just that. I thought it was kind of funny how when Gatsby invites Tom and the Sloanes for dinner but they refuse and then ask him for dinner, they don’t really mean it, and he accepts. When Daisy left and Gatsby was sad because she was unhappy and he wanted everything to be like it was in Louisville, I didn’t like how Gatsby was living in the past, if he loves Dasiy he should find a way to make her happy now and forget what it was like in the past.
