Chapter 9, The End

In this chapter of the book, we are wrapping up the book and tying up loose ends. Kinda. The book leaves you with a lot of questions in your mind, like where did Gatsby's money really come from? Maybe bootlegging, or maybe Gatsby told the truth in his drugstore story. We will never know. Also, there is little as to the conclusion of Daisy and Tom. There was no big breakup scene or dramatic twist for a make-up part. Daisy and Tom just resumed their lives, pretending not to know about the latest series of events, but always remembering in the back of their minds.

The chapter's main idea was the funeral given to Gatsby. At the funeral, very few people show up for Gatsby, however we meet his father. Gatsby's father seemed very collected considering his son had just died, and I wonder if Gatsby had a rough or stained childhood growing up. I loved this book because it made me think while i read. It gave much to think about while still being easy to read. Even after the book has ended, which was a very dissatisfying end, I still have much to wonder about. Too bad I will never know some of the answers to the questions I have.
