Dan Cody

Dan Cody is the man that showed Gatsby how to become rich in his get-rich-quick schemes. Gatsby met him by helping him tie down his yacht because a storm was coming and could have killed him. Cody took him in like if he was his son. He was involved in the transactions in Montana copper this is what made Cody into a millionaire.

Dan Cody dies later on and Gatsby inherits all his money but Gatsby decides to give some of the money to Cody's Mistress Ella Kaye. During him knowing Cody he changed his name from James Gatz of North Dakota to Jay Gatsby of West Egg Long Island.

Gatsby never drinks in his parties because of Cody. Cody was a mad drunk and an alcoholic he hated seeing him like this so he never drank to afraid to see if he was a mad drunk or an alcoholic.

The Great Gatsby by Scott Fitzgerald

East vs. West Egg

East vs. West Egg is pretty much rich vs. poor but in the story there really isn't a battle between both its just a statement that all the rich live on one side of the river and all the poor on the other.

East Egg is were all the fancy rich people live. In the East egg Daisy, Tom and probably Jordan live. They live there because they are considered rich and have good paying jobs.This was used as a barrier between Daisy and Gatsby as an example of how there love is, separated. I believe this was also used for Jordan and Nick because they wont get so close to each other because they both know that Nick doesn't have so much money, this was probably used for Tom and Myrtle too.

The West Egg is were Nick and Gatsby live. This is were the lower class lives, the less rich or poor. But you could also be rich but you just don't know were your life is headed yet so those people come and live here. Like Gatsby but he lives there because he wants to be across from Daisy. Also so his parties can be a little "private."

The Women of Gatsby

The women of The Great Gastby include Daisy, Jordan, and Mrs.

Wilson. Mrs.Wilson is married to George Wilson who owns a car repair shop

and sells cars. She cheats on her husband with Tom who is married to Daisy.

Mrs.wilson lives in West Egg and she is poor. She wants a lot of nice things

and she makes Tom get her a puppy. She knows that Tom is married to Daisy but she wants

Tom and they want to get married.

Daisy is married to Tom. She married Tom after she met Gatsby and after he left for war.

She meets him again and she is still in love with him. She goes to his mansion a lot and spends a

lot time with Gatsby when they meet again. When Daisy and Gatsby meet again their excited

but like nervous and shy at the same time. She was really in love with Gatsby when she first met

him when he was a soldier but she wouldn't marry him back then becuase he was poor. Daisy is

still in love with Gatsby, but she is also still in love with her husband Tom who Gatsby doesn't

like very much. Daisy is rich and lives in East Egg. She doesn't drink and is always focused on

impressing others and setting a good reputation. She's overly dramatic and she has a child with

Tom.

Jordon Baker is a friend to like everyone. She is very careful and she's sort of witty. Jordon

is polite and she helps out with everyone and with their issues. She is the first person that

Gatsby meets who knows Daisy. He asks her for help like getting Nick to invite Daisy to tea for

him. She fills people in with what's going on. Nick has like a thing for Jordon and she kind of has a

thing for him. Jordon plays in sports which is unlike what other girls did. Miss Baker isn't

married and she is sort of close friends with Daisy.

The Men of Gatsby

Many of the men of The Great Gatsby are alike and different. Gatsby is

in love Daisy. He fell in love with her before he left off to go fight in war when

he was a soldier. He buys a house in West Egg right next to Nick and he

wants Nick to invite Daisy over for tea because he wants to see Daisy again

because he hasn't seen her in so long. Everythign that Gatsby buys and does

is to impress Daisy and because he wants to win her over and have her back in his life.

Dan Cody was Gatsby's best friend. Dan is the main reason why Gatsby became so rich and

popular and stuff. Dan Cody is dead.

Nick lives right next door to Gatsby. He helps Gatsby out by inviting daisy over for tea so

that he can meet Daisy again. He's on like everyones side and he doesn't have any enemies. Nick

pretty much gets along with everyone. He's poor and lives in West Egg. He's got a thing for

Jordan.

Tom is married to Daisy but he's not really in love with her anymore.Tom is cheating on

Daisy with another girl that he wants to be with and marry which is Mrs.Wilson. Tom is rich and

he lives in East Egg.

George B. Wilson owns a car repair shop and also sells cars. His wife is cheating on him with

Tom and he doesn't know about it. George kills Gatsby.

The Green Light

The green light is suppose to represent the love that Gatsby and Daisy have. It represents that no matter how far they are from each other they can still keep the love fumes burning.

It also represents that Gatsby keeps holding on to that one dream hoping and wishing for it to come true that he will live happily forever with daisy and not so faraway that they can actually have a future life together not just a past and a hope that never happened.

The Green Light is sort of like a light house at the end of the dock across the east and west egg. They have it there so boats can come easily to the east egg without crashing. Gatsby always stares at this to remind him of the times he would spend with Daisy.

Unrequited Love

Unrequited love is when one person loves somebody and that

person that they love doesn't love them back. Such as Gatsby, he was in

love with Daisy and Daisy said that she loved him but she didn't really

love him. her love was fake, such as proof where she tells Gatsby that

she married Tom because, " rich girls don't marry poor boys." That just

shows that she didn't really love him. If Daisy really loved Gatsby so much then she would've

waited for him and married him instead on Tom wether he was poor or rich.

But unrequinted love can influence people to do so many things to impress that person and

get them to like them or ever fall in love with them. Gatsby went throught he trouble of trying to

get Nick to get Daisy to come to tea just so that Gatsby could show Daisy his house and impress

her with how big and nice his house was and how expensive things were in his house and stuff. I

think Gatsby and Daisy show a great example of unrequinted love.

Selfish People

In this world we have people that will help us out with any problem that we have on our hands. But there is also people in the world that only care for themselves and that's all they will ever understand they will always know how to love themselves but not others. Selfishness is only caring about u, me myself and i.

In this book The Great Gatsby Tom is considered selfish because he only cares about his happiness and not his wife's, Daisy's happiness. He has a "not-so-secret-lover" and loves her more to death than his actual wife. He also just sees the world threw his eyes and no one Else's he is very abusive and angry.

People like this would do anything to see themselves happy. They might even steal candy from a baby because they like that candy and they want it and if someone has something they want they must have it there like little kids and a new shiny toy.
