[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree PP. Just like in the Great Gatsby, Tom and Daisy basically do the same things that Gatsby does. Except that Gatsby loves throwing parties. Tom however is "classy" old money and Gatsby "new money" because he spends it in much the same ways that Tom does. T&D's wedding was in the paper, he bought her a million dollar necklace. So please explain how Gatsby was any worse than Tom save for the fact that Tom could say "but I was born this way"?[/quote] Yeah, it's ok to spend money if you were born with it, that's not flashy. Yachts, sailing lessons, beat up BMWs, original Wellies, not knock-offs, of course, because what self-respecting old money type would wear knock-offs? Just don't spend money on any of these items if you had to earn it yourself. That is the definition of gaudy.[/quote]
