≡ The Great Gatsby ≡

Contrary to the actual funeral, the gathering at Gatsby's house in his honor a few days later was quite lively. There is a buzz in the air that mimics some of the parties that Gatsby threw in order to attract Daisy's attention. If it was not already known, one would never guess the meaning of the get-together. People are becoming roaring drunk to my dismay. The crowd is the same crowd as it would be at one of Gatsby's old parties. It seems almost as though most people here do not even know that Gatsby is dead.
