The Great Gatsby was written by F. Scott Fitzgerald, and narrated by Nick Carraway, and Gatsby’s neighbor. Taking place in the fictional long island which where Nick whom the narrator of the story and Gatsby, the mysterious rich man lived in the less fashionable side between the two side of the eggs, the west egg. The story takes place around the 1920s. Throughout the novel, Gatsby who was trying to get the woman he loves, Daisy Buchanan. Unfortunately, Daisy has married to a rich, and an arrogant man named Tom Buchanan. Both men who refuse to let go of Daisy. Tom and Gatsby both have many and differences which later we will find out in the novel. Tom and Gatsby both are competitive men who don't like to loses, they both are rich, but with

the difference of how they got the money. Lastly, their personalities.
Later on, we will find out that Gatsby and Tom both are very competitive men who do not like to lose, not even a small little things. As we all know that Gatsby and Daisy used to have a relationship until Gatsby went away and come back, later on, he found out that Daisy had already married to Tom who is also a very competitive and an arrogant man you’ll ever know. Tom who is a very rich man and also the old money “ "She's not leaving me!" Tom's words suddenly leaned down over Gatsby. "Certainly not for a common swindler who'd have to steal the ring he put on her finger."
"I won't stand this!" cried Daisy, "Oh, please let's get out" (132).

As we can see by now that Tom who is an arrogant man but also competitive man urged Daisy to not leave him, and threaten Gatsby that Daisy will not leave him and Gatsby will never have Daisy. Meanwhile, Gatsby who fought for Daisy until his death. Gatsby who took the blame for Myrtle's death for Daisy, who became rich so he could have Daisy back “Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that’s no matter - to - morrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther… and one fine morning…(180).” Nick tells us that green light represents Gatsby’s dreams and hopes in the future. Gatsby one and only hopes in the future is to get Daisy as his

again.
The eggs community separates the new money and the old money.

Tom whom Daisy’s husband lived in a beautiful house in the east egg. Meanwhile, Gatsby lives in the west egg community in a huge mansion across where Tom and Daisy live. Tom who is the old money, who had never to worry about money, who sees money as a ticket to buy everything and happiness. Wealth has always been important to Tom “ "Self-control!" Repeated Tom incredulously. "I suppose the latest thing is to sit back and let Mr. Nobody from Nowhere make love to your wife. Well, if that's the idea you can count me out […] Nowadays people begin by sneering at family life and family institutions, and next they'll throw everything overboard and have intermarriage between black and white (130).” As you can tell from this sentences Tom felt black and white shouldn’t be together, and money can buy you happiness. However, Gatsby is also rich but he’s a new money in other words someone who earned it by the stock market, etc. Even though Gatsby can buy everything like rich men do, but he could never buy the education or the experience of growing up as a rich teenage “ "See!" he cried triumphantly. "It's a bonafide piece of printed matter. It fooled me. This fella's a regular Belasco. It's a triumph. What thoroughness! What realism! Knew when to stop, too - didn't cut the pages. But what do you want? What do you expect?

Lastly, Tom and Gatsby have many similar and different personalities. Tom Buchanan who was the college football star at Yale who many people praise him because of his family wealth. Meanwhile, Gatsby who was born from a poor family, who made his way up to where he is. Tom and Gatsby see themselves as honorable men. However, Tom sees himself as an honorable man through his racism, animal strength and money. And Gatsby sees himself an honorable man because he is a man who went from nothing to something. Tom who sees marriage as a system of ownership, which is why winning Daisy and not letting her go to Gatsby “ "You're crazy!" he exploded. "I can't speak about what happened five years ago because I didn't know Daisy then—and I'll be damned if I see how you got within a mile of her unless you brought the groceries to the back door. But all the rest of that's a God damned lie. Daisy loved me when she married me and she loves me now." (131).” As we can see from Tom and Gatsby conversation Tom doesn’t care of what happened five years ago, and all he cares about is staying marry Daisy, and Gatsby can have anything else, but he can’t have that Tom has claimed as his.
In conclusion, Tom and Gatsby both have many differences and similarities. Tom and Gatsby both are very competitive men, they love Daisy and didn’t want to let them go. Tom is an old money and Gatsby is a new money. Tom lives in the East egg, and Gatsby live across the bay of where Tom and Gatsby lived, in West Egg. Tom and Gatsby think they are honorable men in different ways. Tom thinks he is an honorable man through his racism, his wealth, and his arrogance. And Gatsby thinks he is an honorable man because he went from nothing to something that made who is now. Lastly, Tom does not love Daisy all he ever cares was beating Gatsby from winning Daisy, and all Gatsby ever wanted was have a future with Daisy like he used to through the possibility of Greenlight.
