#1: To me the character that changed the most is Nick. Nick was the character that changed the most because he first had good impressions about Jordan, Tom, and Daisy through their friendship in the book. At the end of the book he get disappointed in all of them because they all knew something that could of changed Gatsby’s fate. But unfortunetly they didn’t wich made Nick “ disgusted” on their acts, and leaves New York.
#2: My least favorite character is Jordan. The reason she is my least favorite character is because she could of spoke up to Daisy that Tom was Myrtle’s lover. If she would of she would of made Daisy stick even more to Gatsby due to her getting more reasons why she should leave Tom.
#3: The theme in the novel is that even though you work really hard to be in a relationship with someone, and afterwards they already have one you should realty understand that maybe she is just using you. This novel is also in the film that came out May10.
#4: Jordan is a famous golfer in Tiger Woods, but she always cheated. She meets Nick and they have a secret lover relationship. She knew that Tom and Myrtle were lovers. Jordan was just interested in money throughout the whole novel.
