Money Is Important In The Great Gatsby

4. I think the best part in The Great Gatsby is when Jay Gatsby lures Daisy to his home to rekindle their five-year long romance. Nick Carraway, who is Daisy’s cousin, is over for tea and Gatsby shows up. They start to talk and Gatsby shows Daisy around his very extravagant home. As she is trying on various beautiful outfits, he tries to impress her by throwing all of his clothes at her and telling her how he has someone pick out every single one of his outfits that he wears.

I also want to be able to never give up on something ever again just like Jay Gatsby, even if the cause is considered to be hopeless by everyone else. He is a very young and courageous man. He was willing to go out of his way for his friends and the girl he love no matter what the situations
