The Great Gatsby

Myrtle's Dog symbolizes the transient nature of the society within the text. Dogs are linked to faithfulness, and require a great responsibility, this contrasts to the whim which inspires Myrtle to purchase her dog.

In the text, the characters are constantly shown to be shallow and their transience is shown through their disregard for each other, the law, and society in general. The dog exemplifies this as it represents a long-term commitment, made on the spur of the moment, and which, like many other commitments in the novel, will not be fulfilled.

In "The Great Gatsby," only Nick Carraway, Gatsby's father, Owl Eyes, a few servants, and a minister attend Gatsby's funeral. All the characters who frequented Gatsby's lavish parties during his lifetime abandon him in death.

The four major settings in "The Great Gatsby" are West Egg, East Egg, New York City, and the Valley of Ashes. Each setting represents different social classes and values in the novel.

East Egg is a fictional location in F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel "The Great Gatsby." In the novel, East Egg is home to old money families such as the Buchanans, who represent the upper class in society and are known for their wealth and privilege.

The man in the crash was the one in Gatsby's library, he was drunk and some how got out of the house and drove into another drunk driver. The party was already ending prior to this but officially ended at the time of the crash.

"The Great Gatsby" is not considered an autobiographical novel; however, F. Scott Fitzgerald drew inspiration from his own life experiences and the people he knew when creating the characters and settings in the novel. While there are elements of his life reflected in the story, it is not a direct autobiography.

The character Jordan Baker in F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel "The Great Gatsby" says this line to Nick Carraway. It reveals Jordan's affinity for Nick's attentiveness to detail and his reliability compared to the careless and insincere individuals she is accustomed to.

They represent Gatsby's persona and how you cannot read him. Also, they represent his past and secrets and the fact that no one really knows who Gatsby is. The books can also symbolize Daisy and how she was pure until Tom opened her up on their honeymoon (he took her virginity).

Nick feels uncivilized because he is surrounded by the extravagant and reckless behavior of the wealthy individuals he interacts with in The Great Gatsby. Their lack of morality and ethics contrasts with Nick's modest upbringing and sense of decency, causing him to feel out of place and uncomfortable in their world. Additionally, witnessing the deceit and superficiality of the people around him further highlights Nick's perceived lack of civility in comparison.

They are both overprotective with their wifes because Daisy is fooling around with Gatsby and Myrtle is with Tom. Tom and George both love their wifes no matter what and they don't like the fact that they are talking to another guy.

Jay Gatsby, originally James Gatz, is the owner of the Gatsby house in the novel The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. It is unclear if there was a real mansion the house was modeled after in the book.

Wilson knew the yellow car was Gatsby's because it was similar to the car described by Tom Buchanan's mistress and had played a pivotal role in the accident that killed Myrtle Wilson. Additionally, Tom had mentioned that Gatsby was the owner of the car.

Yes, "The Great Gatsby" is a fiction novel written by F. Scott Fitzgerald. It tells the story of Jay Gatsby, a wealthy man living in Long Island during the 1920s, and his pursuit of the American Dream.

Daisy doesnt want Gatsby anymore

His dream to have a normal family, and a good job, to live happily with his family and nothing else. He doesn't dream big, like others in the book. But near the end of the book, his dream is challenged because her wife seems to have an affair and so he shoots Gatsby because Tom told him that Gatsby was having an affair with his wife. George shoots Gatsby and shoots himself because there is no point of him living anymore, because that was american dream, being with his family, kids and Myrtle.

Fitzgerald uses physical description, dialogue, and anecdotes to convey Meyer Wolfsheim's character. He is depicted as a shady and mysterious figure who is associated with criminal activities, portrayed through his flashy appearance and cryptic conversations. Additionally, his background as a gambler and alleged involvement in fixing the 1919 World Series further solidify his dubious reputation.

The conversation between Tom and Daisy in the kitchen is not directly shown in the text, so we can only speculate about what they might have discussed. Tom likely had a suspicion that Daisy was driving the "death car," but their conversation is left to the reader's interpretation. Their relationship is complex, and there are underlying tensions and secrets between them.

At the end of chapter 7, She wants the escape the fact that Gatsby can provide to all her needs, but she recognizes that a permanent relationship with him would never work. She needs Tom, who is just as superficial and "careless" as she is. She also agrees and sides with Tom and Gatsby and Tom is having a "fight."

Mrs. Slater was not very happy with the mourning dresses that she and her family were wearing. In fact, she had ordered new dresses for everybody. However, she thought that her sister wouldn't have thought of mourning dresses and so she would outshine them there. Mrs. Slater was a very superficial person. She was not concerned about the death in her family but was more bothered about her appearance and how to be better than her sister.

Nick is not poor per say, however he is not of "old money" either. Nick made his fortune out west as a broker, I believe, then moved east to continue his business affairs. He also is not as wealthy as the Buchanans or Gatsby.

He carries around a metal on a ribbon from Montenegro and a picture that was taken in Trinity Quad with a half a dozen men, a cricket team.

Fitzgerald includes the scene at Wilson's garage to highlight the contrast between Tom's indifference towards Wilson's plight and Gatsby's genuine concern for Daisy. It also serves to emphasize the theme of social class and the consequences of the characters' actions.

He is anchored. When he kisses Daisy, she finally becomes tangible, moreover, touchable to him once again. He will no longer let his mind drift and compose grand fantasies on how to lure Daisy "home", for she is there.

In the novel, Jordan is very observant and cynical. She's also quite the hypocritical liar. Jordan doesn't like to hold onto past experiences and mistakes, which relieves Nick and forms a loose-bond between them. However, Jordan's lack of morals and inability to take accountability for her own actions is what repulses Nick, who in turn dumps her. In the end, she reveals that she is even more careless than Daisy, and unlike Daisy, has no remorse for the people she hurts. She even goes as far as to gloat about playing with Nick's heart, revealing that she never truly cared about him.
