GG3

In my opinion I think that you cannot change the past, even if you have had a past with somebody as soon as that ends, it will never be the same. It happens a lot of the time with people, but sometimes it doesn't always work out.  I think this is the same with Gatsby and Daisy because Gatsby wants to regain this lost feeling he has for daisy but in reality, I think the feelings aren't really there. He just wants the feeling back, to regain it. In the book Gatsby says, "can't repeat the past, why of course you can". This quote greatly shows that Gatsby wants everything to be like it once was. Over time, people change and so do their feelings for that person; I think that Daisy's feeling are sort of mixed because she is married to Tom, and also she has a kid. The ideas for the feelings are there but in reality,  I think that the feelings are just for closure. Gatsby is stuck in the past and he feels like he needs to have it back.
