Gatsby Alternate Ending
The Paper Out Chapter One I ran for my life! The monster’s roars quickly turned into a loud ringing sound. “Aaaahhhh,” I yelled. I shut off my alarm clock. “Phew! Just a dream,” I thought.
“Be quiet Lewis,” mom yelled. “I deserve some sleep on such an early Sunday morning,” she complained.
I walked over to my dresser in my small, pathetic room. The cracked blue walls were just a fade in the background. My desk was littered with my golden sports trophies. My black Nintendo sat in the corner of the room.
My friend Steve yelled to me from the ground, “Hey! Want to come play baseball with me and Paul?” “Sorry man. I have my paper route,” I grumbled and then threw my favorite outfit, a plain

He was standing outside, eyes bright red, knuckles white, and his fists clenched. “My beautiful, beautiful lawn,” he whined. “WHO DID THIS,” he wailed angrily pointing to the paper sitting on his lawn. I quickly biked away. The last person who touched Mr.Fitzgerald's lawn (his mom) got pummeled. I threw a paper (a little more cautiously) to Ms. Kathy’s lawn when the skinny woman herself in that button on flower t-shirt came out from her weak, wooden house. She asked how I was doing and what I was doing. “ I'm doing great ma'am and I'm doing my paper route,” I said impatiently. I started biking away and tossed a few papers before getting to Mr.Harold’s house. He stood outside his house, and fat as ever. The kids in the neighborhood called him hefty Harold. He said,
“Hey there looks like it's going to..” I cut him off and biked away. I didn't want to waste anymore time. I started blowing past the village. I was like a paper delivering machine as I approached the last few creepy, little houses on Rock Hill. But before I could reach the first house I felt a drop.
“What,” I thought, but then shrugged it away. But what I couldn't get away from my head was those clouds. Something about the thick, dark clouds, spriraling above were like something about to jump out and ruin

    During the 1920’s, America was full of gilded appearances; glittering on the surface but decaying underneath. F. Scott Fitzgerald’s third book, written in 1925, The Great Gatsby, is a paramount example of fabricated presentations. This is especially evident through the character that the novel receives its namesake: Mr. Jay Gatsby. According to an English critical scholarly article ‘the key feature of the narrative structure of Gatsby is the fragmentary, sporadic, and sometimes non-chronological way in which it releases information (and misinformation) about its title character’. This is evident throughout the glimpses of information in the chapters leading up to chapter…

    Great Gatsby's Death

    • 598 Words
    • 3 Pages

    In the novel The Great Gatsby written by Scott Fitzgerald, Gatsby seems to be misusing the past in order to enliven the present. The book is set in the early twenties after World War 1 when many writers were losing faith in America. I think that Nick is more of a candidate of the “Lost Generation,” rather than Gatsby because Nick finds it “impossible to remember,” (110) while Gatsby keeps hope of having Daisy as his own. What Nick is trying to remember is a story of true love. But Gatsby has love memories of the past before the war that were important and fond to him. That is why he kept them so close to his heart. The past is haunting Gatsby and preventing him from moving on. In the end, it actually causes Gatsby’s death.…

He slowly pushed himself up off of the ground, joints aching, skin numb, and muscles rigid. He looked down at the ground where he had slept, seeing only a thin blanket and a phone book in the place of a pillow.…

    “What are you doing near my locker, dweeb?” Mason, the schools toughest jock yelled as he shoved me into the wall, causing a groan to escape my lips. I didn’t have time to answer as he threw me into the tile floor and the laughs of his delinquents echoed through the hallway. I felt like I couldn’t move, but I had to. I collected my scattered books and stumbled forward, holding on to myself more than I have before. My eyes were full with tears, but I couldn’t let my emotions slip more than they already have while everyone could see. I ran out of the school, and didn’t turn back. I had to get out of that hell.…
