gatsby post 4

All the details about gatsbys life are that he began in North Dakota under the name James gatz. He eventually went to college and dropped out very shortly. He began working on Lake Superior as a fisherman. While working one day he saw an extremely wealthy man on his yacht named Dan Cody. James Gatz went over to his boat to warn him of the storm. Mr Cody took him on his boat as a personal assistant and renamed him Jay Gatsby. 

   These are different than the previous rumors because he is now seen as a little less "great". Before, being a war hero and rich man who got his money on his own was thought of to be much more prestigious than just going around on a boat with a rich man who left him 25,000$. 

The difference between jay gatsby and James gatz is that James gatz is a backbreaking, college dropout, fisherman who doesn't really have any drive. Jay gatsbys a hard working driven man with money on his mind and love in his heart.

   Tom enjoys sarcastically making fun of gatsby and is very disrespectful when taking about him.
