The Great Gatsby

This post is about the great Gatsby. First I am going to talk about the characters, the narrator is Nick Carraway, Nick grew up in the Midwest and later he moved to New York's west egg and then something happened and then he moved back to the Midwest, Nick is also rich, he is rich because he had a rich ancestor who paid someone to serve in the civil war in his behalf and that allowed Nick's ancestor to spend the civil war making money. Another character is Gatsby and we learn nothing about him in chapter one. Another character is Daisy Buchanan and she is Nick's distant cousin who lives across the bay from Gatsby and Nick, Daisy is really rich, she is too rich, thanks to her marriage to Tom Buchanan and Nick describes him as "one of those men who achieved such an acute, limited excellence at twenty one that everything afterwards savors of anti-climax.

Now I am going to talk about the story, Daisy and Tom ask Nick to come over to dinner and Jordan Baker is also there and they have a horrible party. There is a moment when John says "Were Nordics and we've produced all the things that make a civilization" but none of those people have produced anything. They did not cook the food and they did not even light their own candles. Daisy also talks about her butler that he used to polish silver for a big family in the city. Whenever Nick starts a party with Tom, the parties are always horrible but at Gatsby's house there are always good parties and once when one person was going home on his car he is drunk and then he gets in a accident after a few seconds after starting the car and even though one wheel is off he still tries to drive it.

Gatsby met Daisy before and he liked Daisy but he might of liked her mansion more than he liked Daisy but later they met again and Gatsby had a house of his own, he also has a car and it is gold, pretty much everything Gatsby had was gold, but Daisy already had a husband later. Gatsby always looks at a green light at the end of Daisy's dock, Gatsby wants to get to that green light and if he can he believes that he might get the girl that he likes and the life he wanted, Nick called the green light an enchanted object and this is true because everyone has a enchanted object in live. Gatsby had gold stuff because gold is the color of wealth and beauty, it is because well real gold is really rare in real life because you have to look for it under ground.

Tom always makes horrible parties because everyone wants the wealth that Tom has, because he was crazy rich. Gold and Yellow are enchanted colors in Gatsby and almost everything he was is gold or yellow. In The Great Gatsby gold is not only the color of wealth it is also the color of death. When Daisy and Gatsby meet again nick while telling the story he describes some flowers and he says that they smell like pale gold and that does not even make any sense, almost nobody knows what he means because what does pale gold mean. Gold is one of the colors that are in the great Gatsby because gold is the color of the rich, it is the color of the rich because well gold is rare to find and it stays forever if nobody tries to destroy it, it was less rare before but now it is a lot rarer.
