- That's the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool
- Moral Decay
- "Right you are," agreed the policeman... "I'll know you next time Mr Gatsby."
- The police are not doing their job properly and are easily bribed by the rich
- Gravely, the men turn in at a house - the wrong house - but no one knows the womans name and no one cares.
- The men have left a drunk woman on a random door step so she is no longer their problem. They do not care about others.
- "Right you are," agreed the policeman... "I'll know you next time Mr Gatsby."

- He still views Gatsby as admirable even after he knows of all the bad things he's done
- At the end of the novel after everything, he still describes Gatsby as being:
- Worth the whole damn bunch
- At the end of the novel after everything, he still describes Gatsby as being:
- An extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness such as I have never found in any other person
- This is another way in which Nick describes Gatsby and shows us that Nick did really look up to Gatsby and found him a very admirable character whom was unique in his life
- So we beat on borne back ceaselessly into the past
- Fitzgerald is saying that Gatby's pursuit of his dream was ultimately useless. It does not matter how hard we all try, if we try too hard we will never achieve what we want and it will always be out of reach.
- I decided to go east and learn the bond business
- Love
