Gatsby Chapter 6&7

In these chapters I found some points that really stuck out in my mind and things that still connect with today's society.
Gatsby starts out life like we all do. He started off in the midwest working on Lake superior and one day he meets a guy named Dan Cody who is very wealthy. After Gatsby meets Dan he wants to become just like he is and try to live like everyone dreams of living. Living the American Dream is everyones dream in life, but very few ever get the chance to live it. Gatsby strives to live in wealth like Dan does and eventually gets to that point in his life. Gatsby also thinks that his wealth will bring back Daisy into his life, but what he doesn't realize is that money can't buy him happiness. I feel that this is going to bite him back in the end.
Another thing that I thought was strange was when Gatsby was trying to convinve Tom that Daisy loves him instead of Tom. Even though Daisy confessed to Gatsby that she loves Tom. Gatsby still thinks that the only reason she loves Tom is because Gatsby used to be poor. Gatsby needs to accept the fact that his money can't buy back Daisy or win her over from Tom.When Gatsby is willing to take the blame for Daisy when she strikes another car and it was clearly her fault, it shows me that Gatsby is willing to do anything for her sinced he loves her so much. Gatsby is losing hope when he finds out Daisy is happy with Tom and that his dream is fading and being crushed.
