Funeral

The number of people in attendance to Gatsby's funeral was ridiculous. For a couple years , he had been opening his home every weekend to all of these strangers. They had been mooching off of him, trashing his house, and using his house as a hang out, even though they did not know Gatsby personally. The only people to show up to his funeral were Nick, his father, a few servants, and the Owl-eyed guy from the library. Nick came because he was a very close friend to Gatsby, and he wanted to be there to support his friend. His father came, because it was his son that died, and he was very proud of what his son had done with himself. He always carried around the picture of his house that Mr. Gatsby had sent him, showing it off to anyone he could. The servants went because they spent alot of time with Gatsby, and there was probably a since of having to go not as much wanting to go for them. As for the Owl-eyed guy, he was the only one of the mooches that showed up to the funeral. He didn't have an special bond with Gatsby, and didn't go to that many parties, so the only reason to be said of him coming is he is a genuinely kind guy, who has enough respect for other people to go to the Funeral. This just shows that people didn't care about Gatsby at all, and just used him for what he owned and his materialistic values. This was very disrespectful to Gatsby. As for Daisy, there were probably a number of reason she didnt go to the funeral, and none of them would giver her a good enough excuse. Gatsby ended up taking all of the heat for this girl, and the least she could do was show up at his Funeral to honor and celebrate the life of the guy she loves. Tom, most likely, had some sort of leash on her after the instance in New York, but she could have at least sent a flower or called Nick.
