I chose this picture because of Dan Cody. In chapter 6 we learn that Jay Gatsby is actually James Gatz. One day on the beach Gatsby sees this huge boat and goes and sees who's it is. He later becomes aquanted with Dan. Dan likes him from the start and asks him if he would like to travel around the world with him. Gatsby says yes. Later Dan saddly dies. He leaves a good part of his money to Gatsby. Hence where Gatsby gets all of his money from. This picture is important because it relates to Dans boat. Also it shows how they traveled around the world. It can also illustrate how people view money itself.

In chapter six a theme that is portrayed is the theme of identity. In chapter six we find out that Jay Gatsby's real name is James Gatz. We also find out that Gatsby came from a poor family and grew up with nothing. One day when Gatsby is on the beach he sees a boat. Gatsby becomes curious of this because it is a yacht and he can tell that the owner of the yacht is very wealty. Gatsby decides to row out to the yacht and see whos on it itself. When he gets out there he meets Dan Cody. Dan befriends him and asks him if he would like to travel around the world. After they are all done traveling Dan saddly dies. When he dies he left a good amount of money to Gatsby.

When Gatsby changes his name he has good reasons for it. One of the reasons is to start over and make a new for himself. He believed that if he changed his named to something more "wealthy" sounding. The theme is identity because it shows that Gatsby is struggling with who he is as a person. An example of this is how he has many parties. He has many parties because he is trying to fill a void in his life. That void can be determined as him wanting to be with Daisy or Gatsby trying to show to everyone that he has friends and people love and care about him. That is why the theme in chapter six is identity.
