Gatsby was the main character in the novel “The Great Gatsby” by F. Scott Fitzgerald. This novel was mainly about the effort he put to rewrite his life to become higher class person, and the love of Gatsby to Daisy. They did love each other before, but they can’t be together. He did not get any payback from her when they met after a long period. She played around with his love, and even when he dead, she still not cares much about him. Some people may have thought that he was so weak and insane when doing all of that, but in my opinion, Gatsby was a person who willing to strive higher and be positive in life. My judgment about Gatsby was clearly proved by his background, his positive life attitude, and his love for Daisy. Gatsby’s background was one of a good point of proving his strive. Gatsby’s real name was James Gatsby always keep a positive attitude with him throughout his life. For example, he did not step back when he faced with any problem. When Mr. Cody, his boss died, he did not get much of Cody’s money. Also, he did loss all of that money once, but he did bring a lot of money back to replace it even it was illegal money. Another proving point is when he said to Daisy “"If it wasn 't for the mist we could see your home across the bay," said Gatsby. "You always have a green light that burns all night at the end of your dock” (page 92).” Through this quote, Gatsby knew exactly what his goal and dream was, and it was Daisy, the green light. The quote showing that he knew what he was doing. And no matter what prevent him from reaching his goal, when he could go through it he will reach his goal. ““Can’t repeat the past?” he cried incredulously. “Why of course you can!” (page 110)” could also be another proving point of his positive attitude too. He thought that he can repeat the past, rewrite what he did not happy with just as same as how he became so wealthy
