CH 9

In chapter 9, there was Gatsby's funeral, so Nick tried to contact with some people. At first he tried to find Gatsby's family, but he could not find. However, before funeral Gatsby's father came, because he saw his death in the newspaper. Also, Nick contacted with Daisy and Tom, but they already went another place without telling to Nick. Daisy killed Mrs. Wilson, so she could not come his funeral. And then, Nick called to Mr. Wolfsheim, but he said he could not come because of his business. However there was a man with owl-eyed glasses in the funeral. Nick did not know this man and he did not called to this man, but he came and he was really sad about Gatsby's death. In here we could see that when Gatsby lived, people tried to close to him. However they did not his funeral when he died.

Ch 8

In Chapter 8, Mr. Gatsby was murdered by Wilson. Wilson knew that the yellow car which hit Mrs. Wilson is Gatsby's. Then Wilson went to Gatsby, killed him, and he suicide. However, we could guess that Gatsby would die at the end, because we could see in chapter 1. In chapter 1, when Nick started the story, he said about Gatsby and 'Gatsby turned out all right at the end; it is what preyed on Gatsby, what foul dust floated in the wake of his dreams that temporarily closed out my interest in the abortive sorrows and short-winded elations of men' so we could guess.
