Great Gatsby 4

In chapter 7 and 8 I think this chapter is about the difference between truth and lying. In my own opinion I think you should tell the truth because if you tell the truth that means your being honest to yourself and to the people around you. And if you are lying you can physically and mentally hurt people and you can hurt yourself. By lying things can happen because of  "lies" and there could be bad consequences from lying. for example in the book "The Great Gatsby" Tom buchannan was lying to Wilson about Myrtyl's death Tom is trying to put the blame on Gatsby about what happen to Myrtyl and the consequence was Wilson killed the wrong person because Tom and his wife Daisy hide the truth that Daisy is the one who killed Myrtyl and not Gatsby. That's why you really have to tell the truth no matter what happen because if you lie you can hurt people and also you can hurt yourself.

In chapter 6 Gatsby wants to go back to the past and while I was reading this chapter I felt the same way as Gatsby did. I would like to redo my past and go back to when I lived in the Philippines and I was a very popular girl in my school and in the city I grew up in. I wanted to redo my past because back then I had a lot of friends and everybody knew me. I was in varsity basketball girls in my school and a music performer. When my family moved to America my life had changed. For example, nobody knows me here and they just know me as an ordinary person like them. But when I was in the Philippines everybody would run to me to take pictures with me and I would sign my autograph. In my opinion you can really bring back the past if you really want to and if you pursue it. Someday I may be popular here in America and in my school. I just have to become social and get involve with extra curricular activities at school.

Great Gatsby 2

In chapter 4 I found the story very interesting because Gatsby did so many things  to get the woman he loved. For example,  He bought newspapers to read about Daisy (the woman he loves), and her where abouts. Also, he bought a beautiful mansion across the bay from Daisy's house so he can catch a glimpse of Daisy because he is obsessed with the very beautiful girl in his world. One more thing that Gatsby did was asked Nick to invite Daisy for tea at his house so he can spend some time with her and possibly have a good conversation with her. Gatsby is very captivated with Daisy's gorgeous face. I think Gatsby is very romantic in the way he acts and he expresses his feelings towards Daisy. In my opinion,  Gatsby is the man that every woman dreams about and falls in love with in their lifetime. In my future, I would like a man like Gatsby to treat me like a queen and love me to death.

The Great Gatsby 1

In my opinion the theme in chapters 1 and 2 is about "relationships" between a man and a woman. In chapter 2 I found a quote that suggest that many woman are married after a certain time passes. The wife may want to leave their husband because they found another man to love because their not happy in their current relationship. In this quote "she really ought to get away from him, "And  they've been living over that garage for eleven years and Tom's the first sweetie she ever had." In my own understanding I think Catherine is talking to Myrtyl about her relationship with her husband Tom. Catherine is trying to explain that her relationship with Tom was tough because they had to lived in the garage for eleven years and it's not fun at all. Catherine is also telling that some woman will marry their husband in a certain period of time then they will divorce their husband because they are not happy with their relationships or whatever reasons.
