The Great Gatsby Chapter 9 Question
In chapter nine of The Great Gatsby it talks about Mr. Gatsby's funeral. At the funeral barely anyone comes. The only people to attend the funeral are Nick, Owl Eyes, some of his servants, and his father also known as Henry C. Gatz. Nick did call Mr. Gatsby's close friends Meyer Wolfshiem and Klipspringer, but they both said they couldn't attend due to other things. When I first read about only this few amount of people showing up it made me angry because all of the people who attended his parties and claimed to be his friend when he was alive all ditched him. It seemed like nobody cared that he had passed away. It shows that all the people who went to his parties were all using him because he was wealthy. Towards the begging of the book when i read about the parties I could also tell that people didn't really care about him because nobody care to find out what he did and everyone just made up stories about him. Overall for the people who came it showed that those people really had a relationship with him and had feelings for him. For the people who didn't come it was meant to show us that if you have nice things and a lot of money then most likely a lot of people will just use you and not care for you at all.
