Andy's Gatsby Blog

I don't know how strange it might sound, but I can relate to Gatsby a lot more than most people would think. While I was reading the book I just kept saying over and over to myself that that it is exactly something that I would do for someone I truly loved. I've always been a romantic, and could never figure out how people treated someone they were with like Tom would. Gatsby reminded me of all the times I was a true gentleman, or just a boyish young man trying to win somebody's heart. I admire Gatsby for all the effort he put into one dream, and how he kept his green light of hope right by his side at all times. It takes guts to continually chase one cause, no matter how many times you get knocked down, it will always take an even bigger force to get back up. Gatsby stayed determined on his vision, and I hope that I can always stay focused on my dreams too.
