Great Gatsby Review

I totally agree with this statement

I disagree. Throughout the novel, Nick tries to prove his honesty to us. Why would someone need to verify himself like that? And at the end, in his last conversation with Jordan, Nick is accused of being a liar. What would Nick have to hide? How about his homosexuality? Then what can we really trust that he says, anyway? And on a side note, doesn't Nick seem to be a little bit too *taken* with Gatsby?<br><br>To deny Nick's *potential* homosexuality would be to needlessly miss out on a very interesting and potentially important detail of Nick's character.

well yah i agree with u gatsby did all of these things in order to win daisy who seems selfish and rediculios ,gatsby was thinking for the moments when can they be together ,to satisfy her although she doesnt deserve any thing from him in my point of view ,but i really wonder why she didnt remeber him when they tell her about his name and she said what gatsby....as if doent know him is this mean thet she doesnt care about him that she even forget his name or what

i believe gatsby's parties were thrown to show his riches to all tose around him and to prove to daisy that he was worthy of his love. if you read the book you'll notice evidence that all of his material possesions where obtained by him to impress daisy and all those but this tacky expression got him murdered.

Surely by replacing the woman's dress he was just being generous to amke up for his lack of social skills. The parties Gatsby throws are in a hope to see Daisy even though he doesn't realise that she is too high in society to attend.

I think that Gatsby's parties didn't have any connection to the corrupt business dealings..I think they were mainly used to lure Daisy.

the book actually gets much better sometime in the second chapter...don't worry. i once felt like you. i fell asleep a couples times getting through the first chapter. there should have been a warning sticker or something. make sure you don't watch the movie before you read the book, though. if you think the book is boring, wait until you see the movie, old sport. ;)

yes gatsby does all of these things in his party just to satisfy daisy <br>who seems selfish and careless and un devoted

Thanks for the extra help in your criticism review. I have to read and write a report on The Great Gatsby as well. It's due in three days and I really didn't understand most of the book.. but maybe thats becasue I really didn't try. Thankx to people like you , I can quote you in my Literary Criticism Paper due this thursday! Just wanted to say thankx, becasue I know you feel my pain.

Your very welcome Kelsey

I was suppose to read the book too. And I tried to read it but it just didnt interest me so instead of reading it i went and bought the cliffsnotes version of it and typed up a summary of the book from there and it was really helpful cliffnotes gets straight to the point and just tells you what happens

Admin Response Response: Victimless crime? Tell that to George or any other of the many good people who have lost loved ones to drinking and driving.

Dude those quotes really helped me out I was gonna use that one quote of the movie till I had to miss a day of school to finish my report! Its more people like you that we need in the world

I also hated this book. I never read it, but I read the fisrt 2 to 4 pages and dropped it. I hate it. It is boring and now I have to make a big project on it. I mean, I have to make a 5 page thesis report. I have to complete a 5 page rough draft in one afternoon. I don't think I can do that. I just got a topic and thesis statement. All of my other ones did not work. They where to obviuos. That is what I have 2 say on this book.

Maybe the reason both of you hated the book so much is because you lack the educational skills to fully understand it!? By the way, "becasue" is spelled "because", "Your very welcome Kelsey" should be "you're welcome ...", a comma goes before the word "too", you almost never begin a sentence with the word "and", and you lack so many necessary commas in your second sentence it's not even funny.
