Answer and Explanation:
Jay Gatsby is the main character of the novel "The Great Gatsby", by American author F. Scott Fitzgerald. When the narrator, Nick, first hears of him, Gatsby is but a name, faceless, connected to grand parties and wealth.
On the outside, Gatsby has an almost flawless appearance. He dresses finely and modernly. He lives in a castle, surrounded by servants. He drives a fancy car, and knows influential people. He always, as Daisy describes him, "looks cool". He says he is an Oxford man, the inheritor of a big fortune, a world traveler. He is good-looking, well-spoken - a "true" gentleman. Gatsby gives the impression of being secure, of knowing his place in the world. He seems to have life figured out.
But there is a reason why Gatsby is only "almost" flawless. On the inside, he is none of the things described above. Even though he is a good man with grand dreams, he is insecure. Born in extreme poverty, Gatsby thinks wealth will solve all his self-esteem issues. He is afraid people will see through the façade he has built, see the true Gatsby: an uneducated man whose fortune comes from selling illegal alcohol. On the inside, Gatsby is far from being a gentleman or from being cool. He is scared, tense, eager, almost desperate. He wants to be seen, but he also fears it tremendously.

In the Philippines, a man had died due to a slash from a rooster. Cockfighting, a popular sport there, was temporarily forbidden due to their lockdown policy. While this officer had been trying to shut down the fight, a rooster had slashed him. The fighting rooster had a steel-blade attached to his foot, for it’s common in cockfighting. When the rooster sliced the man’s leg, it had hit a femoral artery and lost a lot of liquid. The officer died within minutes.
