In The Great Gatsby, Gatsby has extraordinary, extravagant parties that many people attend. His purpose was to find Daisy, but he kept having them until he found someone that knew her. The fetes started late in the night and ended early in the morning. This reminds me of the opposite of my life, although the people in the book are older than me. I usually just come home with chores and other work to attend too. As I was reading, I was think,"Dang, I wish I could go to something like this."
When I do go to events every weekend or so though, I get fatigued of going out places every weekend so I generally need a break from having too much fun. I think Gatsby felt the same way. He was probably tired of having so many parties, but he had to keep having them to ensure he found his dream girl. He wanted to impress her and let her hear about the parties instead of going to look for her and telling her to come. That does show that he has determination to get what he wants since he kept doing that to find her, and I'd like to have his type of determination. Well, I wouldn't want to physically hurt anyone to be placed in a similar position to his, but it would be cool to have a mysterious but well known demeanor.
