A) Jay Gatsby was born as "James Gatz" but changed it after meeting a man named Dan Cody. Dan changed Gatsby life, unintentionally influencing Gatsby to live a life like his own without the alcohol. After Dan died, the money was supposed to go to Gatsby but he was cheated by Dan's mistress. Convinced to love lavishly, Gatsby chose to change his stature; he did not like being poor.
