//**Characters**//- Nick Carraway, is the narrator and the protaganist in this story. He was very likable and nice to those he met through this story. Being very modest and humble, he was quickly liked by most. He was the type of person who you could confide in, with no worries about him telling your secrets. Jay Gatsby**-** Protagonist of the story. He was a very giving man in this story throwing wonderful parties every saturday. He seems very pleasant at first, though as the story progress's it turns out he has a dark demeanor. He has gained his wealth through smuggling home-made alcohol. This is also he gained his social status. Daisy Buchanan- This woman happens to be nick's cousin and gatsby love of his life. She met gatsby before the war and promised she would wait for him until his tour of duty was over. Instead of keeping that promise, she married tom who was rich and powerful. She could have been a very good person if she had chosen differntly. But as it is, she is a very cynical person. Tom Buchanan- Daisy's husband. He is unfaithful to his wife and is very open about it. He is very arrogant and does not seem to care what others think about him. He is a jealous man, shown by his reactions, when he believes jay and daisy are having an affair.

//**Wikispace Reactions-**// I do not like this as an education tool, it was too much of hassle to get online and write this information when i dont get on the computer much.
 * //Rating-//** Out of a rating scale of 1-10, i give this book a 7. It has a good plot and characters and seems very representable of the time period but i dont feel connected to this story at all.


 * //Summary- This book is about the roaring twentie's and the lifestyle of the rich and powerful. Nick meets gatsby who has lavigent parties quite often. During these encounters gatsby becomes seemingly intriguied by nick and invites him to get to know each other. During the duration of one of these times gatsby learns about daisy once more and the story begins to simmer. Daisy and gatsby begin spending time together and tom begins to get very jealous, allthewhile he himself is having an affair. Things start to take a turn for the worse and the fighting between everybody begins. The result of all this? Seems to me you'll have to read the book yourself to learn that :)//**

9/23-Blog 4-Book Finished On my earlier predicitions, I was right about how nick would become involved in the roaring 20's. Yes, I am very happy with my choice of book, as this book was well worth re-reading.

9/11- 83 pages read

"Civilization's going to pieces. I've gotten to be a terrible pessimist about things... The idea is if we don't look out the white race will be--will be utterly submerged... It's up to us, who are the dominant race, to watch out or these other races will have control of things." The significance of this quote, to me is that it reflects my personality in a huge way about being a pessimist about many things. Also this quote completely is opposite of me about how racist this statement is in of itself.

Nick Carraway is who i am analyzing. He is the narrator of this story. He seems very likable and nice to everybody he meets it seems, saving comments/ opinions for us to read privately. He seems to be a very modest man, living on the "West Egg" in a small house. He doesnt have alot of money. So overall, so far it seems as though this character may be a good influence in this story and/or to other characters.

My opinion for where he may develop in this story is this, may be he might get wrapped up in the new culture of the roaring 20's? Maybe, we might begin to learn more about his past and present. I also think that, he might profoundly change in personality and thinking, possibly also his morals might begin to shift into mischievous ways.
