#2 Diction
Fitzgerald’s use of diction exemplifies how the idea of love and wealth cannot exist together for very long. Jay Gatsby’s relationship with Daisy lasts a little shorter than the summer and encounters the problem of his status not qualifying into her society. Although they did have some “fun” Daisy believes it was just temporary and is shown by the happy, “money” voice of hers. When Daisy realizes that she is not completely in love with Gatsby she has indifference towards everything including Myrtle’s death. Nick and Jordan’s relationship also goes on for very short time, yet he was never completely convinced that he loved her either may be just attracted to her. Nick’s tone went from being in the clouds to realizing that she never really liked him either since she got married latter on.

You did a great job recognizing the effects of the use of diction by Fitzgerald in his novel. I think including a few more examples with specific analysis would have helped to complete your point, but still a great job explaining Fitzgeralds purpose.
