Gatsby #3

1)In what way is their priority of image best shown in the novel? Gatsby's death shows how self centered and messed up these people's priorities are. Daisy has loved Gatsby for quite some time. She then realizes that this might mess with how she comes off to people. As a result, she goes away with Tom and keeps quiet about the related deaths. 
2)How would Gatsby's motive for throwing such lavish parties best be explained? At first, it just seems like Gatsby throws these huge parties for no particular reason. He seems very mysterious and strange. He does not socialize too much at them and just kind of observe. We then figure out his main motive. He has been in love with Daisy for five years, and he hopes that she will show up to one of his parties someday. Mysterious Gatsby is most likely just trying to impress this one girl and not actually having the parties for himself.

 1)Determine the hero of the novel and explain Nick is the hero throughout the novel. He has morals similar to the ones of the audience. He even says that he is the only person you can trust. Nick always seem to do the right thing, throughout the whole book. He is very caring and honest, and he is seen in a positive light, especially in contrast to some of the other characters. Nick started out as the hero, and he remained the hero the whole time.
 2)What does Gatsby's long love for Daisy say about his character? It says that he does not easily give up, and he falls hard when he falls in love. Even though he has these lavish parties, he does not seek other women at them. You would expect him to be a player since it appears he parties so much. Once you get to know him, he really just hopes Daisy will come to one of the parties sometime. He has loved her for five years and is determined to get her.
