chapter 9-Tragic ending

In this chapter that wraps the whole story up I feel bad for Gatsby who put his whole life and all its work into trying to win daisy over and fails to do it. I also was surprised to find that nick did not tell tom that it was daisy driving the car. I believe it would not have any effect but it would put some guilt on tom who deserved it after telling Wilson. As i said in the discussion i was surprised that his father would even come as they have not seen each other in quite some time and jay even changed his last name. Even though i feel bad for Gatsby he should of had a fall back on something as he was sucked into his dream and risked everything for her As stated in the end of the book "Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgiastic future that year by year recedes before us." (Fitzgerald 180)
