While reading The Great Gatsby, I have been introduced to so many amazing characters and have gotten to know them for who they are. Out of all the characters in the story, I would like to be Jay Gatsby. The reason being why I would want to be him is because he has a mindset on a dream that he sought to fulfill. He had fallen in love with Daisy Buchanan a long time ago before he had left and when they reunited, the mindset goal he had was to win her over. Sadly the unthinkable happened to him to which being with her was truly short lived. I also have to mention a couple facts of him being my favorite character. One of them is that he went from being the son of poor farmers to being a rich man (rags to riches vision of the American Dream that we all want). Another fact is that he just has a mysterious side that pulls you in in a way and makes you wonder more about him and read on to the end of the book.
