Find support for this statement: "Gatsby parties were expensive, raucous affairs; but they were not gathering of his friends who brought warmth and happiness with them."

The noveau riche that populate Gatsby's parties are the epitome of the vapid pursuit of material wealth. Despite the opulence and grandeur of Gatsby's legendary swarays, nobody seems particularly happy. This goes for Gatsby as well. He sits alone like a third person watching and pining after a girl (Daisy) that is more illusion than anything else. People poured in uninvited and took part in Gatsby's hospitality. Nobody cared about Gatsby. This was supposed to be the American Dream but underneath it was rotten to its core.
