Quote from: "jaysings"i just finished reading " the great gatsby ", i found the death of gatsby seems criticising the phonomenon of our society where most phony,indifferent and cold-hearted people reveal their dark side right after one dead they used to be a friend of him/her. mr. wolfshiem (gatsby's busniess partner), mr.klipspringer( son of the bitch who rather joins into his friends' activity than attending to gatsby's funeral ), even jordan baker who feels honourred and jaunty of having a secret talk with gatsby, nobody comes to gatsby's funeral. daisy, the most important person of gatsby's life, doesn't even make a call or send a wisp of flowers for gatsby.



i don't mean to be so sentimental like this, but the narration of nick about how he feels after perceiving the snobby entities makes me weep at a transitory moment.

What would you like me to say? You have two threads about the book.

My husband used to travel to many different countries for his job including many Spanish speaking ones..



If I joined him I could speak with locals.
