I identify very strongly with Nick Carraway. My life is my own and the novel is centred around me, but it's not really. I am the protaganist, but I'm not the hero; instead, I exist to serve witness to the great, the unfathomable. I am here to follow the great around, to see it through fresher eyes, here to stay when Rome falls to ruins. Maybe one day I will tell tales of the Gatsby that I lived to experience, and maybe nobody will believe me. Maybe I'll be the only one to believe in my Gatsby. Maybe I will attend the funeral of the experience alone. Certainly, though, I feel that I exist just to attend it.

There ain't no party like a Gatsby party
because a Gatsby party don't stop
until at least two people are dead and
everyone is disillusioned with the Jazz Age
as a whole

Jack Dawson
loved a girl named Rose
didn't get to spend his life the girl
and
died in the water,
because he was protecting her.
Jay Gatsby
loved a girl named Daisy
didn't get to spend his life with the girl
and
died in the water
because he was protecting her.

You see, I usually find myself
among strangers because I drift
here and there trying to forget the
sad things that happened to me.

And as the moon rose higher the inessential houses began to melt away until gradually I became aware of the old island here that flowered once for Dutch sailors’ eyes — a fresh, green breast of the new world.

tell me that "if
the girl had
been worth
having, she'd
have waited for
you?" No, sir, the
girl really worth
having won't
wait for
anybody"

Gatsby believed in the green light,
the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's no matter--
to-morrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther...And one fine morning-----
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
