The early life of Jay Gatsby
I didn't know Gatsby very long, only about a half a year, but I considered him one of my best friends and I hope he thought the same about me. He took me under his wing, showed me his ways and told me his story. James Gatz he was born to “shiftless and unsuccessful farm people — his imagination had never really accepted them as his parents at all… He was a son of God” (104). As he grew he dreamed of greater things. These dreams convinced him to leave at age 16. At 17 he was working one day by lake superior, he heard a storm was coming and saw Dan Cody’s yacht so he went and warned him of the upcoming danger Dan appreciated this and saw potential. James introduced himself as Jay Gatsby and their friendship flourished,
