I read the book The Great Gatsby. I feel like he makes several small arguments throughout the entire book. However, I feel like his argument for the overall story is much bigger, money doesn't buy happiness. This is a very strong argument and he argues it through a small group of fictional characters. Gatsby was a very wealthy man who only achieved his wealth to impress Daisy. He spent many years of his adult life working to make money so that Daisy would love him. But in the end she did not love him. All that money he stove to make could not buy him the one thing that would truly make him happy, which was Daisy. Daisy is another example that money cannot buy happiness. Daisy was married to a very wealthy man named Tom. Although they were married, neither one was very happy. Daisy was so unhappy being married to Tom but she stayed with him regardless because he was rich. Being married to Tom allowed Daisy all the access to money and goods that she could ever desire, but she was not happy with Tom.
