8. What is your impression of Jay Gatsby? He is not telling the truth about his life. Can you find any parts of his story that make you suspicious? Support your answer / give examples. Jay Gatsby seems to be like a friendly, honest, young gentleman who’s just ere shy sometimes and doesn’t know how to express some things because of this, so that’s why when he tells some stories about his personal life, I am suspicious about Gatsby not being very honest.
I think that he’s not actually lying, he’s just not telling everything. One part of his story that makes me suspicious is when he says that he wants Daisy to see his house, but he didn’t arrange any meeting or anything; he just told Nick that he should invite her over to his house and let Gatsby come over and from Nick’s house, Daisy could see Gatsby which is right next door.
