The Great Gatsby Ch.6-9
As I finished The Great Gatsby, I realized that Gatsby did have reasons behind each things that he did in this story. Gatsby continually uses money related words when referring to Daisy, such as saying that her voice is full of money and how her "value" has increased. This is some what evidence that Gatsby knew how much money had consumed Daisy life and he realized that to win her love, he must first become rich. This is why Gatsby decided to earn money in anyway possible, which happened to be corrupt. During the final chapters, Daisy's true character is revealed. As the reader, I was not happy with Daisy's choices. She shows how she leads guys on and how easily swayed she can be. When all of them are at the hotel, Tom begins telling Daisy why she shouldn't be with Gatsby. So Daisy quickly switches to being in love with Tom again and not wanting a relationship with Gatsby anymore. This was a very disappointing flip to me, why can't she just make up her mind.
