Joseph’s Thoughts

I feel like with what's going on with this pandemic and with closing school I feel like with most classes teachers are assigning work and students don't bother to do it or look at it just because we're not in a classroom. In this class nothing really changed because we're use to our class already being online.

I think that the central message and theme of the book is about Gatsby's life in the past and how he tries to fix things that he wished went differently all while trying to get Daisy to like him back. Gatsby does everything he can to try to impress her by throwing parties and covering her mistakes for her. 1. He tries to recreate the past by trying to get Daisy back. 2. He throws a party to see if she will come. 3. He covers Myrtles death for Daisy saying he killed her.

I think that Gatsby has that sense of personality that like when he has something set in his mind he goes and gets it. He tries so hard and works at what he’s trying to accomplish and he’s a good man while doing what he does. For example, he really likes Daisy and he doesn’t stop chasing her until he gets what he wants. He wants her to love hime the way he does and no matter how hard it is he never gives up.
