Jay and Nick

What a friendship, one is a man with everything he wants but is missing the one thing he needs. The other does not know the lap of such luxury first hand but experiences it second hand. There has been so much talk of people being fake in this time it is almost weaved into the culture of the time. Each feeds off the other which is the realest relationship that exists. It is so natural a good example is the whale and the little fish that eat the plankton and parasites off of its hide. Without the feeders the whale would probably die from all of the parasites and scum on its back, without the whale the feeders would not be able to live and would die because of starvation. The same is true of jay and nick. Nick gets to live the highlife and become accepted into the elitist circle and in exchange all he has to do is try to get him reconnected with the love of his life. Which oddly enough would sound a lot harder than it actually is, GO FIGURE. Neither has to sacrifice very much if at all, I wish I had a friend like Jay Gatsby. Gatsby could control the entire situation around him if that was what he wanted to. He could you use his mob like connections to have Tom terminated and then when Daisy is not doing too well trying to support herself and not go into tremendous debt this stranger could step in and solve all of her problems and through time it would turn out it was her long lost lover. There is no way nick is really being used in such a horrible way because after all Gatsby could be reunited without him.
