Chapter 9

After reading this chapter the events of the previous chapter make more sense. The main events in this chapter revolve around Gatsby's murder and funeral. In this chapter we also get to meet Gatsby's father. To me he did not seam to care as much as a father should have right after his son murdered.

Through every thing we did learn a lot about Gatsby, but there are still some things that I would have liked to know. Like where did Gatsby really get all of his money? We where never given a strait answer, but I guess that that is just one of the many things that we will continue to wonder about. After chapter 7 we are not really told what else happened to anyone they just seems to continue on with their lives.

This is one of the best books that I have been assigned to read for school. I liked the book a lot even though there where some parts that where confusing and hard to understand what happened. I enjoyed  not having a quiz on every chapter and just being able to enjoy the book instead of stressing over remembering ever little thing for a quiz. The project also helped me to figure out some of the things that I did not understand the first time that I read the chapter. I loved the idea of this project and wish that other teachers would also do this for books that we have to read.
