1. Is Gatsby an admirable character?
Quote: “There’s the kind of man you’d like to take home and introduce to your mother and sister.”
Yes in my opinion I do believe that Gatsby is an admirable character. Reason why is because he has changed his life from being dirt poor to filthy rich; all just to make his life better and to get the girl of his dreams, Daisy. He is very dedicated to what he wants in life and won’t take no for an answer. Gatsby well work as much as he needs and give his all just to get the girl he once lost.

How are we supposed to show someone we knew friendship when they are dead? It is not friendship one shows to the dead it is mourning and sorrow’s which one feels and ends up showing instead. If you truly care about someone’s friendship you’d do what you can to spend time with them; when they are alive not when they are dead. Showing friendship to someone when they are dead is pretty much a necessity so you will not be disrespectful to their relatives; and for the guilt they may feel for the things they have not done for them while they were alive. For example when my uncle died I was mortified so sad and depressed because I loved him so very much. But I spent all the time I could with him when he was alive and well. Not once was I ever leaving him out of my life. And sadly when he passed away I was devastated of course and showed my love and affection one last time to him. But the fact that I kept my friendship with him good and well while he was alive made our relationship even greater. Of course I showed my respects to him once he passed but there was nothing more I could do, he was gone forever from my life. Now if it took for my uncle to die for me to show my love and friendship for once, then to me that is disrespectful. How rude is it that it took someone to realize they care for someone once there dead and gone for good? I just would never do that at all, that is why I agree so strongly with
