1. Wolfsheim is in the Great Gatsby for many reasons, but one of the primary things that Meyer Wolfsheim does is keep Jay Gatsby mysterious. One of the ways he does this is by keeping the audience skeptical about him since we know that Wolfsheim fixed the World Series.
2. The backstory between Jay and Daisy, provided by Fitzgerald, allows us to identify more easily with Jay. Fitzgerald was able to do this because although Jay remains somewhat mysterious, a lot of the mystery surrounding Jay has now been removed. Overall it makes Jay seem much more real and less manufactured.
3. The story of Jay Gatsby's past forces the audience to think less of him because he lied about how he inherited his money. However, the rest of it does make you think about how he is partly low class and hard working. To this point I'm still not sure about my views on Jay.
4. Although I think he is still somewhat mysterious I like Gatsby more than I did because the more I can identify with him the more I like him.
Bo, we have been over this, and you know that these kind of entries are not going to get you full credit because you don't tell why. And you don't give support. And you are too vague - "a lot of the mystery surrounding Jay has been removed" - how? to what effect? You can give me more than this.
