Answer 3

Gatsby turned out all right because he had a dream to get Daisy to fall in love with him.

But the way that he achieved that dream was the "foul dust" because he got all the money to throw the parties by bootlegging and selling alcohol illegally. Also, he kills Myrtle. And in the end, Daisy goes back to Tom because she wants to be normal and do the right thing.

Answer 4

Hello,

Here's what it's about:

Nick is back from a summer in the East coast and he's so sick of parties and wild party people that he'd be happy in a world full of uniforms and strict rules.  He hates party people now, all of them, except for one: Gatsby.  There was something so beautiful and special about the way Gatsby lived the party life-style.  His socializing was like an Art form.  

No, Gatsby was a great guy, the only great guy I met this whole summer.  The other people, who used Gatsby and his money and parties to get what they wanted, those people were what I truely hated.  They were the scum-bags that made me hate the party life-style.
