First of all, at that time that era in that social environment. Gatsby through his own hard work, to reach the peak of his career. He didn’t give up because his family was poor. He found out different way let him from a farmer came to upper societies. 

Second, Gatsby wants to become a upper societies is not because of he wants to have more money, wants to enjoy the life, wants to have more parties. He riches him self is because of love. In the gilded age,  money worship and doctrine of prevailing winds. Gatsby's lover Daisy likes money, They two have different seek. Daisy wants t have rich life, has money that is enough for her, but Gatsby is seeking for love for a happy life. But Gatsby still adhere to his own ideals, Gatsby at that time still trying to seek love. Gatsby great is because he is persistent struggle of his dream, when his beloved woman away from me, he is alone, no one cares about him, no one to encourage him, no people to give him strength. But even in the desperate circumstances, Gatsby still success came to the daisy on the other side of the river. He hasn't fallen he was not discouraged, he in order to Daisy met again,he strives for five years. Gatsby's great because he has a pure heart, this also let him truly amazing.

Third, Gatsby is a people who is a honest gentleman, protagonist’s friends in New York business people are hypocrisy or has scandalous behavior; in contrast, Gatsby, a genial, behavioral health and elegant taste and humor, every day looking at the luxury of all mortal beings, but always low-key.

I fired all my servants, because Daisy comes to my house every afternoon, I don't want my servants tall about this thing. Today Daisy asked me and Nick to go to her house to have lunch. When I saw Daisy I cannot stop looking at her. Although I know Tom might notice that, but I just cannot stop. During the lunch Daisy said she is so boring, she asked us if we want to go to city. Daisy and me we drove one car together, I really enjoined that feeling. When we got city I don’t know why Tom started to against, he accused me of lying about having attended Oxford. Tom asked me about my intentions for Daisy, and I replied that Daisy loves me, not him. I know that hurts him, I don’t know how I replied him like that. But I really love Daisy I already missed her 5 years, I don’t want to miss her again. Tom and I had a really big fight at that hotel, until Nick and Jordan said they want to go home. When we went back to home, I still drove with Daisy, but that was Daisy drove. She looked very said, I don’t know what she was thinking. Because of this when she was driving she killed Mrs Wilson. But I said I was driving I want to protect Daisy, I don’t want her got any trouble. After she got home, I worried that Tom will hit her so I stay outside at her house, although Nick already told me that are fine. But I still trying to stay until they both go to sleep.

he was born on a farm,and though he attended college at St. Olaf’s in Minnesota, he dropped out after two weeks.Then he did the fishing ,One day, he saw a yacht owned by Dan Cody,he go with him and became his secretary.when he died,Gatsby did not get the money.
2 " underground line to Canda"  "he didn't live in a house at all ,but in a boat that looked like a house and was moved secretly up and down the Long Island shore.
3 JAmes Gatz is his legal name in law,but he changed to Jay Gatsby ,then he changed his life to a different world.This name gives him power to change his life.He was a son of God-a phrase which ,if it means anything,means just that -and he must be about His Father's Business,the service of a vast,vulgar and meretricious beauty.
4 "my god, i believe the man's coming ” said tom."doesn't he know she doesn't want him?"
"she has a big dinner party and he won't know a soul there."
"i wonder where in the devil he met daisy.by god,i may be old-fashioned in my ideas but women run around too much these days to suit me.they meet all kinds of crazy fish.
Tom think that everything with Gatsby is a great shame.he did not think about himself,what kind of men he is ,he just jealous because daisy met him and know him.he think he won't know any of party's people.but he did know.

1. The valley of ashes is a very wild, bleak and desolate place, also dusty. The valley of ashes is about halfway between West egg and New York. But nobody there, the dust covered all over the place. This place symbolizes the east of US also has poor place like west US. These places are just hided by other beautiful places, so no one notice in east also has these places. This valley only has 3 business it should be like other city in east very rich but it's because the fail of industrialization, this made the valley so desolate.  T. J. Eckleburg is the one who watched desolate happened to the valley, the unfair treat to the valley. 
2. Wilson is lifeless, exhausted, because he doesn't has any business. He is afraid of Tom because Tom can give him business and he can make money from Tom. So he afraid Tom won't give him this business. When Tom asked him about his business he said it's OK but it looks very bad. Nick feels ambivalence because he doesn't want to go with Tom but he also want to see his Myrtle. I feel sorry for Wilson, because he is worried about his life but his wife is Tom's Myrtle. He loves his wife but his wife  betray him. Tom uses his money to play with Wilson.
3. The dog symbolizes Mrs Wilson. Because the dog is not the real thoroughbred, also Mrs Wilson is nit his real wife she is just his myrtle.
4. --The apartment was on the top floor—a small living room, a small dining room, a small bedroom and a bath. The living room was crowded to the doors with a set of tapestried furniture entirely too large for it so that to move about was to stumble continually over scenes of ladies swinging in the gardens of Versailles.  
--The sister, Catherine, was a slender, worldly girl of about thirty with a solid sticky bob of red hair and a complexion powdered milky white. Her eyebrows had been plucked and then drawn on again at a more rakish angle but the efforts of nature toward the restoration of the old alignment gave a blurred air to her face.
--Something about Gatsby.
--Something about the marriage of Wilson.
--Why Tom and Daisy are not divorce。
--Myrtle pulled her chair close to mine, and suddenly her warm breath poured over me the story of her first meeting with Tom.
--Mrs Wilson said to Mrs. McKee "‘I’m going to give you this dress as soon as I’m through with it. I’ve got to get another one tomorrow. I’m going to make a list of all the things I’ve got to get. "
--Tom hits Mrs Wilson because she called Daisy's name.
5. Sequence of events to narrate what happen in Chapter 2. Tom and his myrtle's life a little bit about Gatsby. Everything happened follow the time going. Mrs Wilson's character.

Q1 why Nick went to east?

Q2 How do you think about Tom? What kind of person Tom is? Find the evidence to prove your answer. (at least 3 )

Q3 How does Nick describe the place where he is living now compare to US's situation? ( west egg and east egg)

Q4 End of the chapter what makes Nick feels got closer to Tim and Daisy?

Q5 Why Tom and Daisy already had  marriage problem they still live together?

I found one thing I feel is intersting. Was at that time everyone can have affair. Because Daisy knew Tom has affair, but she didn’t say anything and didn’t do anything about that. Also Gatsby he already knew Daisy got married but he still live close to her, want her. And Nick also trying to help Gatsby gtetting close with Daisy. Why not he just give up find anther one better. He should know affair is illegal.

Nick Carraway is the novel’s narrator. Through his angle we know what happen to everyone in this novel. Let us know how was Amercia in that 20s.
Tom Buchanan, Daisy’s wealthy husband. Powerfully built and hailing from a socially solid old family. He is arrogant and doesn’t care about anything.

This novel is writing about 20s. At that time more Americans lived in cities than on farms. People from coast to coast bought the same goods , listened to the same music, did the same dances and even used the same slang.  For many–even most–people in the United States, the 1920s brought more conflict than celebration. The most familiar symbol of the “Roaring Twenties” is probably the flapper: a young woman with bobbed hair and short skirts who drank, smoked and said what might be termed “unladylike” things, in addition to being more sexually “free” than previous generations. The most important consumer product of the 1920s was the automobile. These facts we all can find from the book.
