Narrater For The Great Gatsby
The narrater of F. Scott Fitzgerald novel, The Great Gatsby, I chose the contact information street name and address. I chose the address because it is base off the real house of Gatsby’s Mansion and Nick lived next door to him. The town was where the Gatsby Mansion was located, so I based my location of the house to where the real one would be at. The phone number is based on the area code to what the Great Neck would be. The email is simple and you want to be easy and recognizable. You don’t want anything to crazy for your resumé. For the objective I chose.. For his education, I chose for his high school where we grew up. Nick grew up in Minnesota, a small town and he lived in the country. I pick Northfields because it was a small town

    Nick discloses several details about himself which is the foundation of his reliability in the novel. He defines himself as someone who is not judgmental: “I’m inclined to reserve all judgments” (Fitzgerald 1). This passage is important because Nick has now set an expectation that he will not judge other characters. He farther describes himself as being one of the only trustworthy characters in the novel: “I am one of the few honest people that I have ever known” (59). This is another expectation which says that he is the only one that can be trusted. Nick has now presented himself as a nonjudgmental, reliable narrator. That description of his character is challenged when he tells us that in college, people used to confide in him, which adds…

    Nick Carraway is the narrator in the book The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald and many may agree that Nick is a reliable narrator, but there is evidence throughout the book that suggests the opposite. A closer examination of Nick’s words may strongly suggest that he is not the neutral narrator he proclaims himself to be. Not always narrating from a neutral position, getting drunk and narrating during this episode, and lying about not being judgmental, all provide evidence to this effect.…

    n addition to providing information about Gatsby, his parties, and his party guests, Chapter 3 also chronicles a return to the issues of morality and equity introduced in Chapter 1. Toward the chapter's end, Nick shifts his focus away from Gatsby and toward Jordan. He reveals his interest in her, but tempers it by discussing her apparent penchant for lying. While he is initially "flattered to go places with her," largely because of her fame, he isn't "actually in love" but feels "a sort of tender curiosity." Nick's opinion of Jordan changes, however, when he finds that she makes a habit of lying her way out of bad situations, thus revealing two contrary facets of his nature. Unlike many of the novel's characters who delight in basking in the…

    Jay Gatsby’s journey to reunite with his past love Daisy is one of great tragedy and romance. Fitzgerald’s use of past, present, and future paints the picture of truly how tragic this five-year journey was for Gatsby. Gatsby loses the ability to live in the present because of his intense fixation on the past and his dreams of the future. Because of this inability, it becomes clear rather quickly that a relationship with Daisy is an unreachable goal.…

    Parsons, Kansas, the place I were born and raised. I had been out of town before and went to another city and state but none to where I was willing to move when I got older. A large part of my family lived here, and this is where all my friends were from. My family was very close and we always spent the holidays together, so It wasn’t as if I was all alone at any time. Every one I needed was no more than a five- block radius from each other, so I could visit and have a good time pretty much all the time. Most of the friends I made in school didn’t leave, so I really had no reason to move when I got older. I enjoyed the country and all it had to offer I could go fishing, ride horses and make mud pies pretty much all day with the kids and go to the bars at night with my friends and family. I really could find no reason to leave, I worked at nursing home and had a pretty nice duplex that I never want to leave. I knew my way around like the back of my hands I had explored that town over the last 25 years; I could make a road map myself. My family was always having some kind of gathering on the weekend that I couldn’t be bored.…

    Baz Luhrmann resurrected the dying story of “The Great Gatsby” from the 1920’s by modernizing it to appeal to today’s audiences. People almost 100 years ago had greatly varying morals and lives compared to those of today, which Luhrmann realized and took that as a chance to tweak the storyline to grasp the attention of newer viewers. Anyone who has read the novel can instantly tell how different it is from the movie. Nonetheless, Luhrmann’s style and idea to take on the story from a new angle is fascinating and indubitably caught the attention of the nation when it came into theatres.…
