Gatsby assessment
4 May 2011
4. "Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone, just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had." This quote stuck in Nick’s head throughout his events with Gatsby. Nick proves this to be belive able when he is asked by Gatsby to invite him and Daisy over for tee. He quickly says yes , despite consrns about Gatsby;. Nick also shows how this quote makes him the bigger person when he shacks Toms hand at the end of the story for what happened to Gatsby. No matter how Nick fult about an individualhe he never really guge them and always stuck to what his father said.
5. Gatsby is a vary successful in almost everything he dose but when he trys to relive events that can never be the same he will not except it. Gatspy and daisy 1st meet Gatsby instly new daisy was different but didn’t know what it was but that’s what made him so intrsdid and at the peek of there relationship Gatsby had to return to the war but when he returns he is to find out daisy is married so he makes a plan to get her back even buys a house across the lake from her but when he finely gets things going with her he finds out he is more in love with the idea of her than her her self and feels the only way to get the feelings back is to re live the past.
7. who Nick associate himself with tells the viewers a lot about himself. One of the people who play a major part in his life when he moves to West egg is Jordan. She is a golf player but a liar and a cheater although at first nick dose not know this and takes a liking too her because she was so different. And though the events of the grate Gatsby he learns more and more about Jordan but even though Nick was the narrator Afton times him and Jordon were the 3rd party when it came to Gatsby and Daisy and Tom and there love triangle making it vary uncomftable for nick and Jordon. Thought the story nick and Jordon were the only ones that had a good relationship yet at the end of the story it ended even though daisy and tom lied and cheated daisy could not leave tom but nick could leave Jordon so he did witch tells you a lot about the power between genders at this time period.
9. Gatsby is a classic novel for many reasons one of them being in really captured the 1920s vary well and how people were and the things they got away with as far as cheating and murder. For some it may of taken 2 or 3 times to read it though to fully understand it or like it but I liked it right away. The Grate Gatsby isa good example between social classes of west egg and east egg.
