    Jay Gatsby in “The Great Gatsby” by F. Scott Fitzgerald is one of the most interesting males in fictional literature, even though he is not a dynamic and changing character during the novel. In fact, Jay Gatsby has changed little since he was a teenager. He was born as James Gatz to poor farmers in North Dakota and he decided at an early age that he wanted more out of life than North Dakota could offer. He leaves home to find excitement and wealth. While lounging on the beach one day, he sees a yacht docked off the coast. He borrows a boat and rows out to introduce himself to the owner of the yacht; the owner takes a liking to young James Gatz and offers him a job. When he takes the job he leaves behind the identity of James Gatz forever; the rest of his life he will be known as Jay Gatsby, an incurable and idealistic romantic who fills his life with unrealistic dreams – to capture the past.…

    There is a great deal of color symbolization within “The Great Gatsby,” and Daisy’s clothes are just one example of symbolically important color. In the beginning of the novel, Daisy is always dressed in white, which is a representation of her innocence and purity. Through Gatsby’s eyes, Daisy is void of any imperfections, and much like an angel, she glows white in his eyes. Fitzgerald uses this color to conceal Daisy’s corruption and selfishness that are later revealed in the book. When Daisy’s impurities are shown, her clothes change from white to a golden yellow.…

    The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald is a romantic tragedy about a man named Nick Carraway who gets involved with the life of Jay Gatsby and his not-so secretive love for Daisy Buchanan. A critic named Lionel Trilling once said, “Jay Gatsby is to be thought of as standing for America itself.” This is proven to be true because Gatsby moves up in life and pursues his dream.

    “Can‘t repeat the past? He cried incredulously. Why of course you can!‘ He looked around him wildly, as if the past were lurking here in the shadow of his house, just out of reach of his hand. I‘m going to fix everything just the way it was before, “he said, nodding determinedly. She‘ll see......” “He talked a lot about the past, and I gathered that he wanted to recover something, some idea of himself perhaps, that had gone into loving Daisy” (Pg 110)…

Here are the reasons why I chose each of these individual words:…
