Literature Analysis #1

The Great Gatsby

1) In the novel The Great Gatsby, this book had a lot of reflection on the American Culture, but in a story with the narrator Nick Carraway, cousin of a Daisy Buchanan, who married Tom Buchanan a former football star, and Jay Gatsby. With Nick talking to a lady in a party and gossiping about The Great Gatsby and his "secrets" that were over-exaggeratedly false. The book is about a mysterious man named Gatsby who lives in the top of his mansion, makes parties every night, but never shows up in the party. Nick meets him and meets a whole new world, he meets Gatsby and his real self behind all of the gossip and stories about him that were never true, F. Fitzgerald really showed a great reflection of the american culture/american dream. He confuses wealth with corruption, because in his time it was a time of being rich is the best thing that could ever happen.

2.)  The theme to this novel is feeding the social satisfaction (witch will never be satisfied)

3.) He thought of the new America as naive and blind, naive because everyone in the party were all partying for escape of problems that have been going on in their live. So they get drunk and start doing stuff people tell them to do. They Blind part is for people who are gossiping and talking about someone without knowing them is just blind of them to do so.
