His father brings a list of resolves that Gatsby had as a
kid. It was in a copy of the book entitled Hopalong Cassidy.
Gatsby's goals were all good, and nothing that demonstrated his eventual
"success". He wanted to quit smoking and chewing, read a lot, bathe often, and be good
to his parents. He also devoted 2 hours a day to needed
inventions.
Putting these things together, I think one
could assume that Gatsby was a good ole' American boy looking for a way to make it
big... legitimately.
Jay Gatsby was idolized for his
success in his father's eyes, but in years of late, he didn't really know his dad at
all.
