At the beginning of the novel, Changez shows a modest amount of love for his new home in New York. “I was, in four and a half years, never an American; I was immediately a New Yorker” (Hamid 33.)

Consequently, his dislike evolves through many events, which ultimately leads him to smile after seeing the twin towers implode from the 9/11 terrorist attacks. “I stared as one-and then the other-of the twin towers of New York’s World Trade Center collapsed.

In Chapter Five of How to Read Like a Professor, Thomas Foster’s purpose is to note how all stories ultimately relate with one another. Recurrences and patterns may be hard to notice at first, but once the reader has given the book enough thought and analyzing process, then these similarities are easier to spot. One example Foster brings up is Going After Cacciato written in 1978. Because the author, Tim O’Brien, is aware of his references to different authors, he uses shifting narrative forms to differentiate the reference to the actual plotline (Foster). In the novel, the protagonist’s mind often flashes back to also signal the narrative change.

It was more difficult to find differences between the two than similarities. There are so many characters that resemble each other, with personality alone, that anyone could tell the movie was “like totally” based on the novel.

Shock as the plot twist is remarkably executed from Luhrmann’s directory and Nick as the narrator of the film.

The novel The Great Gatsby, written by F. Scott Fitzgerald and published the 10th of may 1925, revolves around the main character Jay Gatsby as well as Nick Caraway. All of Nick’s supposed friends are very self-centered and greedy. I believe that the characters in the novel personify greed. The novel is told through narration from the character Nick Caraway.

Throughout the novel The Turn of the Screw, through careful word choice and plot structure, Henry James has readers wondering whether the ghosts alluded to in the story are actually present in the house or whether they are a creation of the governesses’ overactive imagination. Throughout the book, James conveys a certain level of ambiguity that keeps readers intrigued, long after they finish reading. In the 1961 film version of the book entitled The Innocence, director Jack Clayton works to convey the same amount of obscurity in a 100 minute film that James projected within his novella.

The movie version of The Great Gatsby and the novel had few minor changes. The setting of the movie and book were the same Long Island, New York. The character that was left out from the movie was Dan Cody, Gatsby’s made up millionaire. One of the biggest change I saw in the movie was that Gatsby never revealed his real name to Nick, while in the book he tells Nick that his name is James Gats. Also, in the movie when Gatsby invites Nick, he assumed that he meant Gatsby, as seen in the book Nick talks to Gatsby but doesn’t know that his talking to Gatsby.

First, in our comparison and differences, we should talk about the characters. First is Tom while in the book it shows that he was a bit uptight having Nick around in the first few chapters, Tom in the movie is more relaxed and with great confidence a bit snobby. When we first meet Daisy in the book, it appears that she is having the time of her life hanging out with Jordan but when any talk starts to head towards the love for Tom, she immediately saddens. Seeming to hide from the world. While in the movie, she from the very beginning is sad when she sees Nick but cheers up after some talking to.

The Great Gatsby was a fantastic novel written by F. Scott Fitzgerald that portrays the roaring 1920’s as well as presents to the reader the subtle changes towards materialism seen in this era.

Written in 1925, the novel serves as a bridge between the conclusion of World War I and the Great Depression of the early 1930’s. Throughout the novel, Fitzgerald both examines and critiques the vision of the 1920’s American Dream.
