The Great Gatsby Picture Analysis
This picture describes many parts about Gatsby, it has Gatsby and Daisy stare into each other's eyes in a moment of reconnection and a reignited spark of their long lost love.In the picture it shows the many flowers that he had bought for Daisy, he is wearing a white suit with a gold tie and silver shirt and the scene gives off a feeling of being dreamy. All of these things hold meaning. In the book Gatsby had stated that he was intent on running away with her to get married ; “They were to go back to Louisville and be married from her house-just as if it were five years ago. And she doesn't understand.” P.109. He wanted to relive the past that he had planned with her, but Nick had told him “You can't repeat the past.” P.110. Gatsby further went on to say “Can't repeat the past? Why of course you can.” P.110. This shows he is living in the life he had five years ago, which right now is only a dream, a sort of fantasy he is holding to. It gives off a sad feeling for him, sad that he can't let go and won't move on. …show more content…
He spends a reasonable of money to win her heart back with all the parties and unnecessary amount of flowers he bought as shown in the picture, maybe trying to show he has a lot of money and he is ready to use it for her to its extent. He wears a shirt that is silver and a gold tie which could also bear the meaning of having a reasonable amount of money at his disposal. And the picture has Gatsby and Daisy sitting down on a chair, staring at each other ,holding hands and that could show the dream he still lives and believes in. The dream for both of them to be together, happily

    There is a great deal of differences and similarities between the novel version and the movie version of “The Great Gatsby”. The novel version of The Great Gatsby is the more “official” version of the story. As we all know Hollywood likes to add somethings to their movies and make them more interesting. . Between the two versions there are plenty of similarities and differences which can be seen quite well. In the two versions we were introduced to the five main characters; Nick, Gatsby, Tom, Daisy, and Myrtle. While at the second party which Nick goes to, he is able to see Tom and Myrtle's affair present while they are in Myrtle’s apartment. We also hear about the “Green Light” across from Gatsby’s house which is where Daisy lives.…

    He begins by establishing this theme through Daisy and Tom. Daisy’s voice often has references to wealth: “Her voice is full of money”. The synecdoche here represents Daisy herself as an object of desirability and high status. Daisy represents perfection to Gatsby because she has the wealth, class, charm and sophistication that Gatsby has wanted all of his life. The life that they lead seems to lack direction and meaning, the couple drift unrestfully to wherever people “were rich together”. This shows that their behavior is dominated by social conventions of consumerism, it is important for them to be seen with people like themselves. Although Daisy has such a privileged life style her face is “sad”, here Fitzgerald is commenting that money cannot buy happiness or true fulfillment.…

    In addition, the unique structure is evident in both “Chronicles of A death Foretold” and “The Great Gatsby”, but the use of structure was used to play the same purpose in both novel; and that is to demonstrate the chronology and its effect in justifying the death evident in both novels. In Chronicle of a death foretold the most prominent form of structure that was evident is narrative structure.

The first section is the morning of Santiago Nasar’s Death, the second section is the historical aspect were the reader learns about the past of Bayardo San Roman and Angela Vicario, the third section is the morning of Santiago’s death which is…

    He throws lots of big parties to attract Daisy’s attention. Additionally, after five years being separated from Daisy, what Gatsby worries about when he meets her is not whether she misses him but whether his mansion looks well and the first place he wants her to visit is his splendid house (2). He keeps showing off his belongings and asking Daisy to check whether she is impressed. When “he [revalues] everything in his house according to the measure of response it [draws] from her well-loved eyes” (Fitzgerald 98), it is clear that Daisy’s recognition of his achievements concerns him the most and Gatsby overestimates the importance of material passion in his relationship with Daisy. In the end of the story, when Gatsby is willing to scarify his life-work and fame to save Daisy from being a murderer, this event is argued to be an evidence of love. However, as he desires her in the same way he is in pursuit of the glory of success and Daisy is only a supreme object helping him to strengthen his achievements, the act of protecting her is merely to protect the thing he longs for in his whole…

    Since the very first time he met Daisy in Louisville in 1917 he let her believe that he was a person from much the same stratum as herself—that he was fully able to take care of her (page 149 3rd paragraph). He perceived himself as Jay Gatsby not once did he perceived himself as James Gatz. Since the very instant he met Daisy was instantly smitten with her wealth, her beauty, and her youthful innocence. As the narrative unravels the “love” story becomes more abstract as there is less connection which reveals that Gatsby does not love Daisy but what she represents. “The blocks of the sidewalk really formed a ladder and mounted to a secret place above the trees--he could climb to it, if he climbed alone, and once there he could suck on the pap of life, gulp down the incomparable milk of wonder.” Daisy was a symbol that represented the stepping stone to achieving old money status. “He knew women early, and since they spoiled him he became contemptuous of them, of young virgins because they were ignorant.” Daisy represented the highest peek of luxury that he had never seen, and he wanted to receive. He had no intention of falling in love with her since she was ‘a beautiful little fool’ and was only a representation of the lifestyle he had desire. Gatsby means was to achieve acceptance and status from old money in doing so going further away from self…

    Fitzgerald portrays through Jay Gatsby’s illusion that building a life on a fantasy will only lead to an utter disappointment. Gatsby’s blind faith in his ability to “repeat the past” that he’s been dwelling on for “five years” that tribute to his romantic and idealistic nature and a clear indication that he just might be a completely delusional fantasist. So far in his life, everything that he's fantasizing about when he first imagining himself as Jay Gatsby has come true. But in that transformation, Gatsby now feels like he has lost a fundamental piece of himself, and “wanted to recover” from the past. Gatsby is telling Nick about his love for Daisy and how it all begins. For some time Gatsby has been in love with Daisy, and when this moment…

    The Great Gatsby, written by F. Scott Fitzgerald, is often referred to as the great American novel. The book’s immense symbolism and its many messages make The Great Gatsby a novel that has the ability to appeal to all who read it. Religion plays a key role in the book. For instance, religious beliefs in the 1920s influenced the main characters of the story in a significant way. The Valley of Ashes that is described in chapter two may also help to represent the moral dilapidation that the rich undergo in the 1920s. Lastly, Gatsby seems to represent Jesus in the novel, while T.J. Eckleburg represents God Himself and Wilson represents Judas. Overall, while there are many symbols in the Great Gatsby, religion is one that seems to come up…

    They used to think that their dream are within reach, and their lives will be consumed by the passion and dignity of life. As mentioned before, Nick and Gatsby are the apathy and fantasy of Scott Fitzgerald, so that their way of chasing dreams are different definitely. Gatsby’s greatness came from his passion to his American dream, or in another word, Daisy. Gatsby made almost all of his decisions out of a desire to relive his love with Daisy; while Nick would rather watch the game. Gatsby showed a romantic hopefulness that is lastly tragic, and he prefers to escape from the present and selectively relive the past. In the end, however, he died for his unrealistic fantasy of Daisy since he had lost touch with present and himself. Nick stood on the moral high ground in the novel. And for Nick, as mentioned before,Nick’s apathy and tolerance due to his father’s advice was ultimately changed since the death of Gatsby. I think maybe Scott Fitzgerald wanted us to understand that it is this thing that made Nick a real person than just a moral…
