The word <em>wishing </em>is used as a participle in this case. Although gerunds and participles look the same, they are used in different senses - gerunds generally denote nouns, whereas participles have more of an adverbial meaning.

How do the rumors about Gatsby tie into the theme of illusion and reality in chapter 6?
kykrilka [37]
There are lots of rumors going around about Gatsby. Some people say he is a spy and others say he once killed someone. The truth is a bit simpler than that: Gatsby was born into a poor farming family. He had to work to put himself through college. 

These rumors, as well as Gatsby's reality, illustrate the theme of illusion vs. reality. In this world, nothing is as it appears to be. Everything is an illusion -- everyone is pretending to be something they're not.

In this, Gatsby is no different. Many characters, Gatsby included, wear a mask that hides the real person underneath.

The author is making the point that the world of glitz and glamour is often all for show.

shtirl [24]

Dear Diary,

It is interesting how life is full of surprises and we can find satisfaction and happiness in situations that we have not planned. It is even more interesting when that satisfaction and happiness is generated when we help other people. I did not imagine that relieving, even a little, the suffering of others would do so much good for my soul and my spirit leaving me so satisfied with myself.

I have always thought that I would only find happiness in actions aimed at my own satisfaction, but by helping a beggar and allowing him to have a little satisfaction in his difficult life journey, I was happy. I liked to take some of the difficulties that the beggar goes through and give him a little comfort generated comfort for me too.

I was also fully happy, excited and full when adopting a pet cat. Knowing that this animal will have a home to protect it and that it will no longer be hungry and thirsty or mistreated, fills my soul with joy.

I intend to do good deeds frequently, because I want to feel this feeling forever, in addition to contributing to the happiness of others.
