Gatsby was a great man that was held great power but, he did not let his wealth get to his head…Well, not all the time. Mr. Gatsby was a mysterious man that lived in his own type of fantasy.

But, he was sadly mistaken his hope for having Daisy still will not go out like the green light at the end of her dock flashing in the night. Mr. Gatsby did everything for the Daisy the parties that he paid for even his house was all for Daisy…. He was willing to give up so much for a love that was uncertain but he had hope. Now, it is sad to see that those affected by the kind doings of Gatsby, even those that were slightly curious as to who Gatsby was did not show up to pay him his proper respects. He deserved to have more than just Nick and myself here. The rumors that were told about him were most time false but, he never corrected anyone on them. Mr. Gatsby had a bright heart and mind that deserved to have much more that he left this world with. Even though I have not known Gatsby for long, I feel as though he still deserved to be sent away with the utmost respect. Thank you for your time and Rest in Peace Gatsby.
