Linda doesn’t really care about relationships she just wants to sleep with many men Popé brings a drug to Linda called mescal. John does not like Popé. John tries to stab Popé, Popé just laughs.

What’s so great about Gatsby

1. Gatsby is not that great because he would always try to please daisy on something that was not him. He had to change only to please her. 2. Nick was not honest to him self. I think he usually hangs out with dishonest people because those were the only friend he could make. 3. I think that means that Tom and Daisy didn’t care for anybody but themselves 4. I wouldn’t let my son date her because she is the type to just see if the person has money or is rich only for own interest. 5. That one day you’ll want to make a past dream come true
