Chapter 9

Nick felt Gatsby would not want to go through the funeral alone so he tried to invite many people, but not many showed up. Some of the friends disappeared- like Tom and Daisy. Tom and Daisy moved and did not tell anyone where they were going. Other people did not want to show up- like Meyer Wolfshiem. Nick's plan failed. He wanted lots of people, but the only ones to show up were Nick, Owl Eyes, a few servants, and Gatsby's father. Nick became very sick of New York and decided to move back to the midwest and he ends his relationship with Jordan. A couple days before he left he saw Tom back in New York. Tom explains he was to one who told Wilson to kill Gatsby.He says that Gatsby deserved to die. Nick decides Tom and Daisy are careless and uncaring people. They destroy things and believe thier money will save them from and consequences. The night before Nick leaves West Egg, he goes to Gatsby's empty mansion and lays on the beach behind the house. He looks up at the sky and thinks about what America would have looked like before all the houses and streets were there.

This chapter is really sad. Its all about the memories Nick had with Gatsby and Tom and Daisy.
