The Great Gatsby Question

I have a question about Mr. Gatsby......Why would he lie to Nick that he was rich and inherited his money from being so wealthy? I'm contemplating that he wants to let go of his past. I'm guessing, for him to truly becoming Gatsby he has to let go of his past, and become a new person. But i guess its for the better good i suppose. Well, for his sake.

Accepting Defeat

Anytime anyone loses, its not a pleasant thing to have. We often feel emotional, feeling the other opponents happiness of winning. But, feeling all the anger, sadness, and misunderstandings  are helping you analyze, reflect on what you did. So you don't have to repeat the process again. Helps you build strategies  to make. There is a clip ill put down below of how defeat can be very emotional. But remember, it will help you in the long run.

The Great Gatsby Remix Chapter 3

When Nick and Miss Baker went to Gastby's house. And the moment where Nick did not know he was talking to Gastby. Gave me a recollection of how Nick described Gastby's smile. Where we would only see a smile like that 3 to 4 times in our life.  And it gave me a thought that i have only seen a smile like that only twice in my life. (the way nick describes it) It made me come to realize Nick is right on what he says. It gives the reader a thought if anyone has gotten a smile like that from Gastby to Nick.
