This relates to the story Gatsby tells Nick in chapter 4 about his time in Europe, 'hunting big game'. This is evidently a lie, but is designed to create an aura of mystery around him.

Why is gatsby not great?

Gatsby is great because he lives the American dream. He doesn't necessarily achieve it, but in a materialistic way he does.His pure love for Daisy and his generosity (parties at his house) show his difference from the crowd.His dream Daisy's reciprocal love, which he will never receive anymore, is his motivation never to give up during his penny less moments in the war. Additionally he is a great dreamer + hoping person: Until the end he never gives up, what makes him look magnanimous.The last factor of his greatness is the protection daisy experiences by Gatsby in the end of the novel, when he covers her after she killed Myrtle, which leads up to Gatsby's death.

What are the lyrics to 'lie' by david cook?

"Lie" Lyrics: You whispered that you were getting tired
 Got a look in your eye, looks a lot like goodbye
 Hold on to your secrets tonight 
I don't want to know, I'm okay with this silence
 It's truth that I don't want to hear 
You're hiding regret in your smile
 There's a storm in your eyes I've seen coming for a while
 Hang on to the past tense tonight
 Don't say a word, I'm okay with the quiet 
The truth is going to change everything 
So lie to me and tell me that it's gonna be alright
 So lie to me and tell me that we'll make it through the night 
I don't mind if you wait before you tear me apart 
Look me in the eye and lie, lie, lie Lie, lie, lie I know that there's no turning back
 If we put too much light on this, we'll see through all the cracks 
Let's stay in the dark one more night 
I don't want to know, I'm okay with the silence 
It's truth that I don't want to hear So lie to me and tell me that it's gonna be alright 
So lie to me and tell me that we'll make it through the night
 I don't mind if you wait before you tear me apart
 So look me in the eye and lie, lie, lie Don't want to believe in this ending 
Let the cameras roll on, keep pretending
 Tomorrow's all wrong if you walk away
 Just stay So lie to me and tell me that it's gonna be alright
 So lie to me and tell me that we'll make it through the night 
I don't mind if you wait before you tear me apart
 So look me in the eye and lie, lie, lie So lie to me and tell me that it's gonna be alright
 So lie to me and tell me that we'll make it through the night 
I don't mind if you wait before you tear me apart
 So look me in the eye and lie, lie, lie
