            I was disappointed in the attendance at Gatsby’s funeral. I wasn’t surprised, but I was disappointed because I thought that more people should have been there to support him because even if he was in the middle of not so good dealings he was for the most part a good person and threw pretty good parties.  Only his father, nick, and owl eyes come to his funeral. His father comes because it is his son and he hasn’t seen him for so long he feels its important to come. Nick felt like he was Gatsby’s only true friend and that it was his duty to be there for him. Owl Eyes was only there for symbolism, he represents god and that showed that god was watching, but wouldn’t do anything to help the poor man.
