WHAT'S SO GREAT ABOUT GATSBY

I believe that in the book  "The Great Gatsby" Gatsby is not a terrible person, but is kind of dishonest. I feel like he does to much for Daisy, and puts himself in a lot of trouble. He is not great but he is good. The narrator Nick is honestly the only one that is sort of honest. I mean he can be dishonest because he knows stuff that can change stuff for people, but he just does not do anything about it. He is a humble person. I feel like Nick hangs out with dishonest people to see new perspectives. I think Nick respects the dishonest people he hangs out with because, he respects their ideas and rumors. He doesn't like getting into drama so he does not say anything about others. I think when the author says "They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made....". He means that they were people who did not care about others and only cared about themselves. that whatever mess they made, other people would have to pay the consequences they made, and they wouldn't care they would just go back to their money life. Just like when Daisy killed Mrs. Wilson, they let Gatsby suffer the consequences. I agree with how the author described Daisy and Tom, they are horrible people. I don't understand Daisy's behavior all she wants is money. Like if money was going to solve every little thing she did in life. I don't agree with her choices, I cannot believe she let Gatsby take the blame he had to pay for what she did. And she didn't even care! She's a horrible person and should have came clean.  I would not let my son/ brother/ friend date, because she is so dishonest and a horrible person. The last line of the book saying "So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."  I think this means that we can't go back to the past, it brings trouble.
