5 themes

gatsby themes -
you can't always have what you want
Money doesn't always buy happyness
Sometimes people arnt always worth the struggle
Even if you're surrounded by people you'll sometimes be the most lonely person there
You shouldn't cross oceans for people who won't even jump a puddle for you
Prufrock themes-
Love can kill
Not everyone has a happy ending
Love sometimes can affect you in ways you wouldn't have thought

02/15/17
Good- he throws party's for people to have company not because he actually enjoys having them
Good- tries to be with one lady only and rejects every other one for her
Good- he built himself up and worked hard to have what he has now
Bad- he only thinks of himself when he tries to be close to daisy and doesn't worry about her kids or their marriage
Bad- he spends all that money that can be spent on other helpful causes
Bad-he doesn't move on and let himself be happy as if he's punishing himself for not having a human that has her own life to be worrying about

remix

I think a quinceñera is kind of like gatsbys party, one day you have all these people celebrating w you or for you, and the next just gone as is nothing happen.  Even though he has them kinda often, it's still the same feeling you get over, and over.

Gatsby's party

if I were ever invited to one of these parties I think it would be awkward. I think this because I wouldn't really want to talk to most of the people, they'd be from a differnt class and shame me for it. I think this book has a lot of hateful people so yea there might be fun and mingling but most people there just judge and have no shame what's so ever on doing it.
