Gatsby- Chapter 3


To me, the good life means to be care free a lot of the time. To have a lot of freedoms to do whatever you want and not to worry about there being consequenes of your actions. To live the good life can include, spending money, going to social gatherings. But they can also be as simple as having time to spend with your family, and having a good relationship with them. Having friends and people that care about you, being in good health can also be representative of the good life.

Compared to the life of people in the 1920s i think that it could be a more superficial time back then. Going to parties, spending money, and making money i think could have been the basis of the good life. Having a beautiful house, cars, and family can also be representative of the good life in the 1920s. However you want to live can be your definition of the good life, everyone has their own opinions of what they want in life. Some people want the most extravagant things, and others are happy with the simple things in life.
