Friendship
Nick is the only person, aside from Gatsby’s father, who attends
the funeral. What kind of friendship do Nick and Gatsby have? What does Nick
derive from this friendship?
# Nick ad Gatsby weren't best friends or friends that shows their friendships out side but i could feel that Nick really do cares about Gatsby and he is the ony one that knew everything that happened to him. Nick could derive that
it is not good to critize people without knowing them#
Alienation
At one party, Nick observes,
“People disappeared, reappeared, made plans to go somewhere, and then lost each
other, searched for each other, found each other a few feet away” (p. 37). Soon
afterward, Tom breaks his lover’s nose. Does Fitzgerald use parties to highlight
his characters’ failures to relate to one another? Do Gatsby’s parties reflect
genuine celebration or a kind of mourning?
# i think the author used the parties to show the failiurs because they are the people who are spending their money with no worth and they are not working to acheive their American dream. I think Gatsby's parties are refelting kind of mourning because those people looked happy but their weren't. They all has their sad stories and failures. They came to the party to forget about it. So i think those parties were sad and had sorrow inside.
