Chapter 6 Write

In Chapter 6 we find out the truth about Gatsby. Everything we know about Gatsby up until this point has been a lie. Gatsby has told us so much and we have found out all these wonderful things about him only to find they're all false. I think the reason Nick waited until now to tell us the truth is to build up the story, that is Gatsby. The story revolves around Gatsby and the story of his life. If we knew he was simply a man who made his money with the mob then there would be no mystery behind him. Gatsby loved to be seen as mysterious. No body knew Gatsby until Nick came along. Even at his parties, he could walk amongst the people and not be recognized. Another reason I think Nick waited to tell us is to let us know that there is more to Gatsby. If he had just told us at the beginning then we wouldn't think anything of Gatsby, we would just see him as a con-man or a fake. But since Nick waited, we're able to see that there is more to Gatsby. We end up feeling a sense of emotion whenever something happens to him. I wouldn't've felt emotion for him at all if I knew he was a fake from the beginning.
