The Great Gatsby Dialectical Journal

221 Words1 Page

My favorite part of the book was this passage right here. To me this was the only relationship that mattered. Actually it was pretty much the only relationship that wasn’t fake. Every other one was broken easily or just were false. Example being both daisy and toms affairs and how their feelings had dropped and left both affairs. Even Daisy and her daughter didn’t seem to be a true relationship. However Nick and Gatsby are truly friends. Even though Nick said he disapproved of Gatsby, beginning to end, he didn’t really disapprove of Gatsby, just his shady dealing on how he got his start. But as a person, Nick wholeheartedly was with Gatsby. Nick knew he was a good person. That’s why he said, “They’re a rotten crowd,” I shouted across the lawn.

    The crowded bar was noisy, smoky and in no way what Tom had in mind when he had suggested to Booker that they were in a slump and needed to set time aside for a weekly date night. When he had made the proposal, he had expected quiet nights in listening to music or dinners at fancy restaurants, but so far, they had experienced the unsavory environment of a pool hall and a night out at a Monster Truck exhibition. To say he was unimpressed would have been an understatement; his lover’s apparent lack of thoughtful and suitable suggestions for the perfect date had him feeling downright pissed off. It appeared Booker was not only adept at getting his own way; he also did not have a single romantic bone in his body.

    a) In chapter IV, section IV, the author compared the words of someone who speak knowingly about buying or selling stocks to that of an oracle. Because of the overwhelmingly positive outlook of the market, brokers and investment counselors were aware of the possibilities, and people were eager to profit from a growing market, these men’s advices were treated with importance as their words “became golden”. The author uses religious metaphors to compare the confidence of the American people have for these stock buying advices to the that of a believer to an oracle; a sense of confidence that lacks sufficient justification or evidence. b) In the novel The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, which was set in the 1920s, people lived in a state

    The Great Gatsby Literary Analysis “They were careless people…” says Nick Carraway, the narrator of The Great Gatsby. In a story depicting the 1920s during a time of prosperity, growth, and the emergence of the America as a major global power, this statement may seem to be contrary. But in reality, Nick Carraway’s description of his friends and the people he knew, was not only true, but is an indication of those who were striving for the American dream. F.
