Blog 6, Chapter 9:

In Chapter 9, my predictions were proved true, it's actually really sad how little people showed up at Gatsby's funeral. Nick invites many people to the funeral, but only Nick himself, Owl Eyes, servants, and Gatsby's father attend. Nick even invites Daisy and Tom, but both refuse and leave New York; this just proves how awful both of them are. Daisy and Tom are just low people who hide behind their money and sad relationship. I don't think Daisy ever deserved Gatsby, because he was so sweet to her, and in the end, she never did anything in return. It's also pretty sad how Gatsby's father came to the funeral, and his father didn't even know him anymore. Overall, the funeral proved that people only used Gatsby. They used him for his parties, social status, and his money. Not even Gatsby's "trusted business partners" attended the party.
I'm not a fan of the end of this book, but I guess there was no other way to bring an end to the plot, because the whole story revolved around Gatsby. But, overall, this has been one of my all time favorite books, I liked it a lot more than I expected. I also like the assignments/ blog posts that we had to make. I had a very good experience with The Great Gatsby book.
