Blog #21: The great Gatsby 1-4ch

Jay Gatsby is a wealthy person. He is described as a vulgar and dishonest rich man. His dreams become a reality. Its obvious that Jay Gatsby likes to show off his wealth; he tends to throw elaborate parties every weekend at his Gothic mansion in West Egg. At one of the Gatsby parties, Jordan Baker reveals to Nick that Gatsby was a German spy in the world war 1. I'm assuming he is considered what they call in the fictional story, "New money". Gatsby's parties incorporates 1920 wealth and glamour in to focus.

Nick Carraway, graduated from Yale located in New Haven, Connecticut and , like Gatsby, served as a soldier in world war 1 (1914-1918). He moves to New York city to learn about Bond business in the 1920s. Nick moves to long Island and lives in a fictional town called West egg. Nick is old money and wants to be new money.
