What I was feeling at Gatsby’s funeral was utter frustration. Thousands
of people came to his house for his extravagant parties, but no one came to his
funeral. This man allowed people to eat and drink at his home without any form
of invitation, but no one had the decency to come to his funeral. In the end it
was only me, Owl Eyes, and Gatsby’s father. Not even Daisy or Jordan came. Daisy
and Tom just left town. After everything that happened at the hotel, Daisy did
not even acknowledge Gatsby’s death. Klipspringer even called asking for his
shoes, but refused to come to funeral. I was so furious that I could not even
stay on the phone with him. How could people do this to him? I felt completely
alone and lost. Everything that had happened this summer was because of Gatsby.
Whether or not he knew it, Gatsby taught me many lessons. He was a friend that
I never had. His father told me many things about who Gatsby truly was. I
learned that Gatsby was little dishonest in telling me who he was. I felt
betrayed that Gatsby did not tell me the whole truth, but I was angrier with
the turnout at the funeral. I felt frustration at society. How could people use
a man like this and not even pay their respects. He is dead now and no one can
do anything about it. This moment and this feeling will stick with me forever.
It has shaped who I am today. After anyone met Gatsby, they became a different
person. Some people changed for the better and some people changed for the
worse. Gatsby could do
