The Great Gatsby - 2

"Sometimes they came and went without having met Gatsby at all." pg 41

 I think that the quote above portrays the first class in a very superficial manner. People came to a party without even knowing who was hosting it. I think that this whole party scene is meant to satirize the upper class. It is implied that the people are very shallow.  It seems as if these people have nothing better to do than to party and gossip. Its like they have so much money that they don't know what to do with it. As I mentioned in my previous blog, many men allow their surplus of money to be a source of arrogance. All of these people use their money as a mask and refuse to be  sincere because everything is made into a competition.
