The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald

                

          “ ‘ He’s the man who fixed the World’s Series back in 1919’ ”(Fitzgerald, 73). I am astounded that a man like Gatsby is friends with the man who fixed the World Series. Mr. Wolfsheim now shows an even darker element to himself. This also plays on the stereotype that all Jews are greedy. Gatsby had gotten himself into a rotten crowd. As surprised as I am about the wrongdoings of Mr.  Wolfsheim, I am more surprised by the people Gatsby is friends with. I thought that Gatsby was a different. I thought he might me a rich outcast with loads of money and a sad past. Sadly, Gatsby is no different from the rest of the wealthy people. I found it even more tragic that later in the book, Mr. Wolfsheim did not even go to Gatsby funeral. I found that cruel. I truly believe that Mr. Wolfsheim is one of the worst people that Gatsby befriended.
