No, it was not. The main reason the U.S. joined the war was to stop the spread of communism, however, they did not achieve that because the Communist North won. Furthermore, it caused tension within the country, and our beloved nationalism was not there. It caused outrage and many protests. The people of the U.S. became tired of the loss of people and many began to see our government as weak.<span />
Gatsby does not partake in DRINKING
Gatsby met Dan Cody and what impacts Cody had on Gatsby's life. One of the impacts that Cody had was that he, indirectly, made Gatsby not want to drink much. Gatsby doesn't want to drink too much because he doesn't want to be like Cody was when he drank, in the book Gatsby had had to be Cody's "jailer" at times. That implies that Cody got out of control when he was drunk. Gatsby's character does not seem to be one that would enjoy being out of control and I think this is why he hardly drank.
