Blog #4- Compare and Contrast

In the book The Great Gatsby written by F. Scott Fitzgerald there is a lot of cheating and scandles. With similar tastes, the strong headed Tom Buchanan and fabulously wealthy Jay Gatsby both have an eye for Daisy. Tom married her but she never truely loved him. Daisy always had the idea of Gatsby coming back from war and sweaping her off her feet. When he finally does appear she's married to Tom, even though she's fully awear of Tom being completely unfaithful. The story unravels and tragedies occur. Tom would never think he is alike to Gatsby but little does he know they have much in common. The New York Times did note that "sex was the national obsession," so these adults living in the 1920s try to keep their cahoots under wraps.
