To Kill a Mocking-jay essay
Daniel: Nick recalls Gatsby's funeral where Mr. Gatz, the owl-eyed man, and himself were the only ones to attended. Nick tried to get a hold of Daisy, but she left with Tom with no forwarding address. There are still many exaggerated and untrue rumours floating around about Gatsby after his death but the only Nick knows the truth about him. It is revealed by Gatsby's father that Gatsby always tried to improve himself as a child and always strived for success, shown by Gatsby's personal journal. Nick meets up with Jordan, who calls Gatsby dishonest and careless. Nick also runs into Tom, who also accuses Gatsby of the car accident.

On the white steps an obscene word, scrawled by some boy with a piece of brick, stood out clearly in the moonlight. " (Fitzgerald 179-180). Gatsby's house in many of the previous chapters symbolized a fantasy world, isolated
