News of our class reading The Great Gatsby spread to past students and they decided to spoil the book for us. Past students informed us of all the most “important” ideas of the book. As F. Scott Fitzgerald’s famous book was being introduced I remember sitting in my seat, looking through a packet we had received and thinking about how I already knew what was going to happen and knew the main idea behind the book. This memory, of the introduction of The Great Gatsby, ringed through my head as our

Close to 100 years after its publication, F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby" remains an American classic. One challenge it presents today is realizing how the Roaring '20s tale of Jay Gatsby's pursuit of wealth and romance is still suitable in our society today. The novel's portrayal of social stratification, fabrication of fame and celebrity create incredible parallels between Gatsby's world and the present day. Not only are the social classes remarkably similar to today but the story shows

undergoes. The character lacks confidence, because he is unable to get along with the others at school. In the part where Peekay returns home to cure his bedwetting, the image in his dream comes to life. When he describes the scene, “As I stood on the great rock waiting to jump into the water, I could see the new moon rising, bright as a new florin above the thundering falls.” (p. 16) I am proud that he can handle the circumstance in such

The first significant quotation to me is, when the man is studying the country to the south. He walks out onto the road and wonders how long it would take to get somewhere warm before it was too late, even though he has no clue what time of the year it is. “He thought it was October but he wasn’t sure. He hadn’t kept a calendar for years”(4). I feel like this is a good quotes to be in the novel because it shows loss of time. To them, time doesn't really matter anymore because of how many years have
