• Choose your friends wisely.

• You can't hide from reality no matter how much you try.

e.g: Daisy speaks very few times throughout the book about her daughter, but that does not make her disappear.

• You can't hide who you are, because in the end your true colors will show.

e.g: Daisy wears white to represent her purity but in the end we see that she is a dishonest person who is not so pure.

e.g: Gatsby trys to take the fall for Daisy in the case of Myrtles hit and run but his money can't save him this time, George Wilson murders him.
