how many sentences is this .I also think that Gatsby perceived himself to be poor and possibly not good enough. I think this because more than anything Gatsby loved Daisy most of all and to think that after he went to war and 5 years later she married a big man named “Tom of Chicago” even though she loved Jay so much. This is why Jay tried so hard to be rich , because he possibly thought that maybe if he became the richest, the most known, to have the biggest house that maybe Daisy might fall in love with him.People see Gatsby as an Oxford man which means to be elegant, smart and rich which is what Gatsby sees himself or tries to.
