Old Money is when you have money that has been passed down to you from Generations before you. In the book Tom comes from Old money and thinks that money can buy happiness. New money is when you just got your money recently from working. Like making a big investment and coming out rich that is considered New money. In the book Gatsby has New money he also believes that money can buy happiness.
Coming from the book Gatsby believes that his money and fortune could buy daisy back from Tom. Myrtle has a affair with Tom, Wilson does not have a lot of money. That goes to show that money matters in the world and to some people it can help them escape through the harsh realities of real life no matter whether it was Old money or New money.
Good start but you must have approx 3 paragraphs and try to cite resources. 65/75
