Chapter 6 GREAT GATSBY

In chapter six, it talked about Gatsby’s past. He was not always rich. He worked as a janitor to earn his tuition for college, and one day on a boat he went to a man to warm him about the upcoming storm, and the man was so grateful, he hired Gatsby as his assistant. Gatsby feel in love with being wealthy and rich. The man asked Gatsby to look after him while he was drunk, it was his job to do that. Because of this Gatsby was not fond of drinking. This chapter was interesting to read. I question Gatsby if he’s telling the truth because it is all the gossip that he is a bootlegger or something like that. I’m not too sure what that means but I’m pretty sure because of what we have said in class that he is in a mafia and that’s how he is so wealthy. I have trouble focusing while I read this book. It’s strange that I can read other books so quickly and comprehend them, but this one I do struggle with. Fitzgerald is very descriptive and writes very pretty, but sometimes I wish he could just say what he means in a simple way.
