The Great Gatsby Rotten Crowd Analysis

Daisy Buchanan is unhappily married to Tom Buchanan and throughout the novel Gatsby has strong hope he can split the two of them up. After Gatsby passes away Nick recalls, “Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us”(180). The green light located across the bay from Gatsby at Daisy’s house gives him faith that the past was indeed possible to regenerate. He always looks on the positive sides of situations and holds on to the part of him that is hopeful for the best. Additionally, the marriage between Tom and Daisy has nothing on Gatsby.

It reveals you” (John Green 286). Peter explained that the death of his daughter exposed his worst self. This relates to the theme: death is a part of life, so we need to live our best lives each day because Peter’s daughter’s death was a part of his life, but it exposed and ruined him. In order for Hazel to live her best life she cannot give up because Gus is dead. Death and hardship is a part of being alive, so Hazel needs to be resilient through to keep grief from revealing her worst self.

In the beginning of the book, we can see that Gatsby is the one who is grasping for the light. However, as now Gatsby is dead, Nick visits the porch and looks across the water. Green light will still exist because Gatsby is not the only one who always try hard to reach dreams. It applies to the era of the whole book (1920s), and to us. People during the 1920s had the dream to become rich from the “American dream”, and we too, will also have dreams we would like to

He then turned that passion in to this world championship, when he created a name for himself he did it with me and my brother in mind. He has put a foot in the door of the auction business and introduced it to us in hopes we could prosper even more so than he has in his field. I’ve never seen my dad do any wrong to anybody he usually tries to stay pretty mellow and keep everyone

Even his family life surrounds the idea of wealth, how it’s spent, what he earns. To Walter, wealth meant pride, it meant happiness, it meant a stable life. In a blind move, he had trusted the wrong people with his father's hard earned money only to lose it. When this happened, his life appeared to all crumble. The merry-go-happy man from when he got the money was no longer there, only a bitter shadow.

He believes he is “..see[ing] life like it is” (141) in order to rightfully take his place as the head of the family by making this decision for them, regardless of the hope this house brought them all. The rest of the Younger family is disconcerted by this new business deal, and asks Walter if this is what he truly wants and believes is right, to which he responds that he’s “Going to feel fine…[like] a man…” (144). Due to internally knowing he still had prove himself but not physically doing so, Walter’s delicate, false pride in being a man doesn’t allow him to consider how his actions affect

It is apparent throughout the book that Sonny wants his father’s acceptance. “I listened, amazed, not that he was saying what he was saying, but that he would share such thoughts with me. I felt proud, grown-up.” This quote demonstrates Sonny’s quiet need to be appreciated by his father, even though Homer seemingly does not care about his interest in rockets. Homer Hickam Sr. at first sees Sonny as an embarrassment and was sure he was going to fail. However, when he sees Sonny’s determination to build rockets, he decides to support him.

Immorality and Deception in The Great Gatsby The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald exhibits villainous human nature through the main character, Jay Gatsby. Since his past relationship with Daisy Buchanan and having not seen her in many years, Gatsby has developed an obsession with regaining her attention and rekindling their relationship. In order to accomplish this, he portrays a lavish lifestyle and makes himself seem like an ideal man: wealthy and wise. He lies about his name, family’s wealth, where he was educated, as well as where his family was educated. To his own misfortune, Jay Gatsby is the most abhorrent character in the novel, due to the immoral ways in which he tries to capture Daisy’s affection.

This reflects entirely on the utter careless in which Daisy and Tom live; Nick says that Tom and Daisy are “careless people… they [smash] up things and creatures and then [retreat] back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever… and let other people clean up the mess they [have] made” (Fitzgerald 187). The Buchanans and the ultra-rich live their lives without any purpose or care. They simply drift through the world spending their endless amounts of money without contributing anything to society. Fitzgerald incorporates both the universal and more profound of white to critique the carelessness and hollowness of the

He was so effectually screened by his great wealth that he was called to no account for his crimes, not even for murder”(Jacobs 44). This tangent about Mr. Litch is to prove to her audience the hypocrisy of democracy in the South. Democracy should be blind to the wealth of a person, but in the south, wealthy white men are exempt from the law. Mr. Litch is so wealthy that he can get away with ‘even’ murder writes Jacobs. The use of ‘even’ is to show her disbelief at the system.

He desperately wanted to be old money to impress Daisy so she would fall in love with him. Fitzgerald condemned the American Dream by showing how even though Gatsby became rich, he was not happy nor did he have a happy life. Tom Buchanan dehumanized Gatsby by how he thought badly of him because he was nouveaux riche. Tom was old money. Nick was also newly rich like Gatsby.

Deceitful Minds In the Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald sets the book up to make two characters in particular to look very important. Those characters names are Nick and Jay Gatsby. Nick is a small town man that has recently moved next door to Mr. Gatsby in West Egg NY, Mr. Gatsby is this very wealthy man who throws these elegant parties every weekend. As the book continues, we begin to see that these two men are actually not as truthful and honorable as they are made out to be. They are infact a lot like a man named Tom, Tom is married to Daisy who is also Nick’s cousin, and Tom is cheating on his wife Daisy with his mistress Myrtle who is married to Mr. Wilson.

The topic I chose is Bernard thinking that thinks good grades are all that matter and Biff thinking that all you need is to be well liked. Biff thinks that all he needs in life is be well liked. Biff thinks this way because Willy stressed that on his son 's when they were young. For example on page 33, Willy says, "the man who creates personal interest is the man gets ahead." Biff thought and believed this to a point that he followed everything his dad said and is now struggling to find himself in life without the popularity.

A leading justification of why Linda presumes Biff has the ability to save Willy’s life is due to the two men’s prior relationship. Preceding Boston, Biff idolized his father who in return propped Biff on a pedestal. A direct correlation of Willy’s self-worth is matched with Biff’s success. Near the end of high school Biff began to strive to please his father carrying his father’s pride on his shoulders “This Saturday Pop, this Saturday- just for you, I’m going to break through for a touchdown.” Biff warrants his father’s approval because of the pride his father exudes. The father-son relationship is the bond Linda hopes is strong enough to save Willy.

I think Gatsby follows his real Father. As we find out after Gatsby dies his father wasn’t dead and he always knew that, but he never wanted anyone else to. I also believe that Gatsby is very confident that he will always be rich and has no problem saying he is a son of God, who is powerful and all knowing. I think Gatsby has been trying to prove himself to Daisy but also his father this entire book because he wanted to show that he could make a man of himself without anyones help. Fitzgerald gained a sense of credibility from making the allusion to the Bible.
