In order to live deep and suck out all the marrow life, you must live deliberately in such a way that you're set a part of society, meaning you have only yourself to rely on. The marrow of life is the deepest source of satisfaction you can find in life. The more you suck out, the deeper meaning your life has.

The great thought of been wealthy and having luxurious objects excites oneself.This idea that materialistic things are going to make us happy can be a disappointing to those who have it all (money,cars,women ) and are still not happy .Media gives us a fake or rather an illusion of what we need ,what we desire ,what we love .We all want to be successful and have a life just like Jay Gatsby ,to be known as a hero and to be know as a wealthy successful person . But is that all we are in this world for ? is that all that our heart and body really wants? , or is that something that our mind has been forced with all this media .When we die would people come to our funeral because its in their heart or because it will benefit their pocket.

His figure and looks won over many people as being an icon to them. As well as this Edward acted like a king; he organised events (such as jousting) and built impressive buildings and displays. He brought about a sense of pride back into the Kingdom through his work and his clothing – it won him great respect from his nobles, which increased his power.
The Great Gatsby Matt Givens 10/28/11 Prompt 1 “I am one of the few honest people that I have ever known”. What does this quote mean to you? To me it indicates a sort of slight arrogance and almost seems to cancel itself out; saying that you yourself are an honest person means that you believe your are but is does not necessarily mean that you are perceived that way by everyone else. Everyone has their own lens to look through and the biases that come with that. This quote comes from the narrator Nick Carraway towards the beginning of the book.
His inspiration to be this wealthy and smart guy was for his sweetheart he met named Daisy Buchanan. The Author could relate to the character Gatsby because their life styles and personalities were identical.
