The book, //__“The Great Gatsby”__// is “like Huck Finn; escape to the unknown; follow your dreams.” (Seelye, pg.2) James Gatz was an unwealthy person.”His parents were shiftless and unsuccessful farm people,” (Fitzgerald pg. 104) James Gatz did not want anything to do with that so, he decides to change his name and become whatever he wants to be. His new name Jay Gatsby served him very well. For over a year Jay Gatsby had been making his way down the shore as a clamdigger, salmon fisher, and anything else that would supply him food or shelter. One day Gatsby was resting on his oars, and looked up to see a yacht, and a man named Dan Cody. Dan Cody was a wealthy man who saw great potential in Gatsby. A few days later he gives him clothes and a job on his yacht. Jay Gatsby works with him for five year. Then Dan Cody Dies and Gatsby inherits all his money. This Story Shows that, ”Someone can star from nothing.”(Seelye, pg2) and end up with everything.
