Step 1: Accept Your Beginnings
You must accept where you came from. Whether you came from a upper class, middle class, or lower class family. Always remember where you came from. In the Great Gatsby, Jay Gatsby came from a poor family. He was apart of something called the "newly rich" which
is someonoe who suddenly becomes wealthy instead of having a family blood line of rich people. |

Step 2: Accept That Not Everyone Will Like You
Everyone talks. You just need to know how to take critizizum.
In Gatsby, everyone had a story about him. He was judged harshly. Many have said that he "killed a man", that he isn't rich, that he was smuggling, he isn't rich and that he has been lying about everything, such as his education, and his inharietance and everything esle about his life. Not accepting that everyone talks about you will let you become like Gatby, causing him to go downhill. |

Step 3: Accept That You Will Never Get The Woman Of Your Dreams
Unfortunately, you can't always get what you want. Gatsby tired his hardest to get his old love Daisy back. He threw big extravagant parties, making it open to the public hoping that Daisy would stroll in one day but that plan obviously failed. Instead, he had to get help from Nick to get Daisy over to his area in order for them to reconnect. Of course Daisy like most woman who are married and unhappy is confused with her life. She likes the thought of being with Gatsby but doesn't want to be with him because Tom has always been high class with a very good rep on his hands. Gatsby isn't liked by much people and is usually just used for his big parties. In the end, the person who claims that they loved you, doesn't really love you and will move away with their husband and not care about who you are. No matter how hard you try and what you say, it just wont happen.

Step 4: Accept That Eventually You Will Get Caught
All good things come to and end. In The Great Gatsby, Jay Gatsby has been lying his entire life about his wealth. Everyone who heard stories about him, have something different to say about him. For example, saying that he was an oxford man when really, his vocabulary is horrible and he tries really hard. Also, he claims that he didn't get his money through smuggling but his mentor Dan Cody had left him $25,000 in his will after his death. Moral of the story is if you lie, you will get caught, exposed, and embarrassed just as Gatsby did.

Step 4: Accept That Eventually You Will Die And No One Will Care Unless You Have A Good Fried Like Nick
Lastly, you need to understand that eventually everyone dies. Whether the cause of your death is because of natural causes or because you got shot by a crazy man that is not right in his mind because he was told that you hit his wife with your car, eventually everyone dies. Gatsby dies in a sad way. Tom had told George that Gatsby had hit Myrtle with the car which was really Daisy who hit her. Tom was frustrated with Gatsby and wanted him to begone and so he told George a lie which lead him to killing Gatsby. Now, for the sad part. When Nick heard about this devastation he was crushed. Even though he had just met Gatsby, he was a really good friend to Nick and as was Nick to him. Nick called everyone Gatsby had known to invite them to his funeral and NO ONE absolutely NO ONE showed up. The person you would think would show up is Daisy, but no. She didn't even pick up her phone. The random people who would show up to his big parties and enjoyed themselves didn't even go to pay their respects, they were all users. Nick was so angry about this whole situation, especially Daisy out of all people. In the end you just have to know that you were getting used for material things, no one cared about you in the first place to even show up to your funeral so you really weren't important at all.
