1. The purpose of Meyer Wolfsheim is to give the readers more insight into Gatsby, perhaps make us question our judgment about Gatsby. This affects the way we view Gatsby because it makes us curious as to where Gatsby acquired his money from, and whether he is a genuine good character or not.
2. Jay and Daisy's backstory leads the readers to believe that Gatsby was in deep love with Daisy. When we see that he is still in love with Daisy, we also see that Gatsby is a dedicated individual, and it makes us wan't to root for him to get Daisy and take her away from Tom.
3. The rest of Gatsby's past shows the readers that Gatsby led a dynamic life. He fought in World War I and attended Oxford. We realize that while Gatsby is rich, he knows the other side of life, and has experienced them first hand. This makes him more relate-able, and more of a hero to us.
4.Over the course of these three chapters,. I liked Gatsby more. It is obvious that he led a very adventurous life, but he is very humble about it, and does not go around forcing anecdotes about his past down other people's throats. Also, the way he is deeply in love with Daisy shows that he is dedicated, and has morals by which he abides by. As well, there is still a mysterious aura surrounding Gatsby, but not a bad aura, I feel like there is a great big thing that he did that no one knows about. So with these three things, I really enjoy reading about Gatsby.
