you have to be the most uneduacted, uncoothed person i have ever met in my entre life. i can't belive that you would add your idiotic oppinions to a literary masterpiece. you are worthless and when you are sitting in some exostential quandering pondering your meanignless existence just remember: I told you so.
First off, You must have been asleep in English class. Example:<br><br>I were force to read it for english class, and i hated it.<br>--Shouldn't it be was<br> thank God i'll never have to read a crapy book like that again. <br>--Crappy<br>It was by far one of my least favorite book i ever read. <br>--Book should be books<br>If i had to give this book a rating i'll give 1 out of a possible 10.<br>--Mixture of past and future tenses<br><br>But nice try "Grammer Good"<br><br>And it is also nice of you to give us a reason to agree with you. I have no problems with people disliking literature, however don't just complain about without giving us any justification for your opinion.

Hi there, dmcadidas15! Welcome to the forum!
I did a search for "the Great Gatsby" on Google and found these terrific sites:
sparknotes.com/lit/gatsby/
gradesaver.com/ClassicNotes/Titles/gatsby/
novelguide.com/thegreatgatsby/
metopera.org/synopses/gatsby.html
Not only do they have summaries, synopses, and character analyses, but many of them feature quizzes with many of the same questions that are on your quiz! (don't worry, they give you the answers!)
I hope that I have helped! Good luck!
Dear dmcadidas15,
Don't waste your time doing all that annoying research. Here are the answers to almost all your questions:
1. A 1968 Ford Fairlane
2. A. (She also his second cousin once removed, but that relationship is so distant, it's cool that they are lovers too.)
3. Technically a trick question. Myrtle Wilson has a STEP sister named Catherine.
4. He's speaking of Meyer Wolfsheim.
5. True. She gets a letter from Gatsby that makes her have second thoughts.
6. True. He believes in loyalty as he demonstrates when he speaks of his old gang buddy who was gunned down.
7. Jordan Baker (She is herself an athlete and so the "sport" tickles her fancy.)
8. B. This is Fitzgerald's not-so-subtle internal reference to Gatsby's own hopes.
9. St Olaf's
10. Don't remember
11. E. Gatsby bathes every day.
12. Yale
13. North Dakota
14. E. (This is why an alternative title to the book was "Gold-Hatted Gatsby")
15. C. (Gatsby has convinced the world he is a legit businessman from a family of blue bloods)
16. George Wilson
17. False - Jordan Baker is driving the "death car"
18. Rosenberg
19. Don't know
20. Zamfir
21. "Little Montenegro!"
22. Myrtle Wilson
23. Meyer Wolfsheim
24. The Pinafore
25. Don't know
26. True. (Fiztgerald's great irony is that all this wealth is just about to go down the drain in the stock market crash)
27. Nick Carraway for the period in the book when he is homeless and Gatsby helps him out. Just before offers him a "gonnegtion"
28. Marriott
29. E.
30. B. (This sets the reader up for the mention of Meyer Wolfshiem's nose later in the novel.)
31. Baker
32. B.
33. A.
34. False. She introduces Gatsby to her child, Elizabeth Barrett Browning Buchanan
35. TRICK QUESTION ALERT! Nick and Tom went to St. Olaf's NOT Gatsby!
36. E. (Nick says later on that both she and Tom were both "careless people")
37. Cassidy (A reference to Hopalong Cassidy, the great hero of the West)
38. E.
39. Myrtle Wilson after she has recovered from her brush with death
40. Polo (He brings a "whole string of polo ponies" from Chicago for his wedding)
41. See above
42. False
43. Gatsse
44. False. He narrates the story from the Mid-West, but he states that he will ultimately return East to accept Wolfsheim's "gonnegtion"
45. False. NICK'S house is in West Egg
46. D.
47. C. (Remember that George Wilson kills him for the affair with Myrtle)
48. B.
49. In his library among his beloved books. The irony is of course that he's surrounded by all the "genuine" books at this moment - his moment of truth when he must choose between the great loves of his life: Daisy or Jordan.
50. Don't know
Good luck, dude. I'm sure you'll do just fine.
Jeepers what a beastly thread
Good God..well you deserve an award for this

gah! dont do his homework for him. He'll probably get an A+ because of your answers. Unless they are all wrong. Then it would be a sneaky plan forcing him to check himself.
Oh it was a labor of love, trust me. I hope he reports back to tell us the results.Good God
I think this one was my favorite . . . the use of quotation marks to create a false sense of legitimacy is hilarious.
I only hope he writes on his test that Dan Cody's boat is named the "Pinafore" That will have made it all worth it.
Professional authors seldom (if ever) use such stylized modes of writing by accident. The reason that Fitzgerald "speeds far too much time <i>seting</i> [sic.] up circumstances and events" is because Gatsby's story is being filtered through a third-person narrator, namely Nick. The events cannot simply be given straight to the reader because the most important aspect of Gatsby's character is the way he is perceived by others, and the lengths he goes to in order to create that perception. Without the narrative distance provided by Nick, all the reader gets is a plain representation of events, which leaves the reader at the same disadvantage as the "bright young things" of the book: too absorbed in the small details to be able to see the pattern of the whole.<br><br>Incidentally, your criticism that the book contains too few events berges on the ridiculous. I cannot help but wonder how you would fare with Ishiguro's <i>A Pale View of Hills</i>, which contains neither plot nor significant events but is nevertheless an amazing and soul-searing book.
This book realy sucks. I were force to read it for english class, and i hated it. thank God i'll never have to read a crapy book like that again. It was by far one of my least favorite book i ever read. I didn't enjoy it at all. I will not advise any one to read this book. If i had to give this book a rating i'll give 1 out of a possible 10.
