The Death of Jay Gatsby

             Scott Fitzgerald tells us the story and lifeline behind Jay Gatsby, a wealthy young man through the eyes of an average man named Nick Carraway. Though Mr. Gatsby often held extravagant parties and could afford anything money could buy, Nick tells the readers that an important thing was missing in his life: love. Daisy was once the love of Mr. Gatsby's life, but everything changed during the war. Gatsby became a poor man, which was not favoured during the 1900's. Gatsby's love, Daisy, ended up marrying a man named Tom Buchanan. As Gatsby becomes illegally rich at a young age, Nick begins to encounter what seems like the rekindling of Daisy and Gatsby's relationship. This renewed relationship between Daisy and Gatsby is one not destined to be, as we realize we cannot repeat the past. This relationship ends in Jay Gatsby's tragic death. In this story, Gatsby's lover Daisy was the one most responsible for his ill-fated death. This story through the eyes of Nick Carraway explains the life of Jay Gatsby, from the start of their acquaintance to his unfortunate death. .
             Daisy Buchanan is a young beautiful woman, who is Nick's cousin and Jay Gatsby's love. Gatsby had to lie a little about his background to win Daisy over, as Daisy was very well known with the military officers back then. Gatsby ended up falling in love with her before the war, as did Daisy. Daisy promised to wait for Gatsby after the war ended, but she didn't keep it. She ended up marrying a wealthy man named Tom Buchanan, who came from an aristocratic family. In some sense, Daisy has quite the ˜gold-digging' personality, due to the fact that she could not be with Gatsby because he soon became poor after the war. But as time passed and Gatsby became wealthy, Daisy's love for Gatsby rekindled once they met years later. Daisy fell in love with Gatsby again, and through her own actions caused all the trouble that followed. Gatsby had loved Daisy from the start, so he had so much hope in her.
