Jimmy's Misogyny
Think about this, “Jimmy! Have a good day at school”, Jimmy’s mother babbled. Jimmy entered the classroom, filled with kids, desks, and a whole lot of papers. Ms. Pumpin gets the class rallied up, like a bunch of cows in a herd. She starts to talk about classroom expectations and all the kids are bored out of their mind. Jimmy is half asleep, about to fall out of his chair. When Ms. Pumpin saw she went on a riot and started yelling in the first five minutes of class. No one liked her, especially Jimmy. When Ms. Pumpin was talking, Jimmy was extremely bored which lead to, Jimmy making a survey and having one column say yes and the other say no.

Rufus walked in and sat at an available seat at the back of the class room. He opened his notebook and took notes even though he didn’t understand anything that was going on. By the time 5th period came around it was time for lunch he was starving. All of his friends called him over and asked him to sit with him.

    At first, the female characters in Fitzgeralds "The Great Gatsby" seemed to be rather dissimilar. Daisy was the angelic and innocent beauty, Jordan was the androgynous golfer, and Myrtle was the sensuous and vivacious seductress.

Seems like a good balance, however, as the story progresses, we see more and more that the angle is a fallen one, and that the human is a demon in disguise. All three women in this novel use men in some form to get what they want. Looking at the depictions of the female sex in this novel, I believe that, yes, Fitzgerald was a misogynist.…
