Throughout The Great Gatsby there has been several things that the author put in the book that people could apply and relate to their own life. One of those things that i got out of the book was that drinking is very bad and effects people's attitude and perspectives. Gatsby was involved with bootlegging and he had to hide his identity because of it, even though it made him rich he still struggled with his business. Also Tom made bad choices in the book that caused him to make mistakes he wouldn't do if he was sober. People who drink have poor judgement and poor reasoning so it effects how they act and tends to be a bad result. Owl eyes was a good example of a bad example for instance he crashed outside of Gatsbys house because he was drunk and couldn't drive correctly. As you can see there are several instances where characters in The Great Gatsby had been drinking and caused a problem.
"you're a rotten driver," i protested. " either you ought to be more careful, or you oughtn't to drive at all." pg.58
" making a short deft movement, Tom buchanan broke her nose with his open hand. " pg 37
