Book report----The Great Gatsby
I choose ‘The Great Gatsby’, which was written by Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald.Fitzgerald, was the representative ofThe Lost Generation, lived injazz age.The novel described for the 20's through the perfect artistic form to sell “the American dream” which liquor nouveau riche Gates compared pursues vanishing, has shown the American society's tragedy.The reason for me to choose this book is simple.Because my SAT teacher told me that SAT reading tests like to cite paragraphs in this book.Then, after reading this book, I think I have gotten some sense about the morality of American society at that time.Plot, characters, setting The story begins with the narrator, Nick Carraway, whose house next to the mansion of his friend called Gatsby.Daisy is Nick's second cousin, Gatsby’s first girlfriend.Gatsby and Daisy had loved each other five years ago, Gatsby used to very poor and then sent overseas by the army.Daisy gave up waiting for him and married a man called Tom.After the War, Gatsby
decided to win Daisy back.He bought a house and held
lavish parties in the hopes that Daisy would attend.His house is directly acro the bay from hers, and he can see a green light at the end of Daisy's dock.Tom has a mistre-----Myrtle Wilson who was hit and killed by Daisy’s driving car.Tom lied to Myrtle’s husband that Gatsby drove the yellow car.Therefore, Gatsby took the whole blame and was shot dead by Myrtle’s husband.My opinion
From Nick’s first-person narrative, I can see a picture about the America at that time.We can see the surface of the society is diolute, but actually it was spiritual sky empty bored society.American have fallen in, not only the way of life through which American rifling for more luxurious enjoyment, but the morality of heart that they persued prosperity with all costs of which they were oblivious.Parties which held by Gatsby are good examples, the parties were fashionable but pointle.It was only show-off of Gatsby’s richne and material succe.The crowds hardly knew their host and went without invitation.The music, the laughter and the faces, all blurred as one confused ma, showed purposelene
and loneline in people’s heart.Actually, it was typically in ‘The Jazz Age’----people lost belief in American Dream and indulge themselves in drinking and dancing.Why the writer called Gatsby ‘the great Gatsby’? I made this question when I began reading this book.I did not think just a rich man can be, somehow, called ‘the great’.Since there are hundreds of rich people at that time, and what special point made Gatsby different from other rich people.After reading the whole book, I think I get the answer.Gatsby, thought his wealth come his criminal activities, was the typical symbol of American dream in that time, and the whole-hearted dedication of Gatsby and his sincere belief in what he did made him heroic.He insisted his own dream until he died-----becoming rich, own respect & give happine to Daisy.Gatsby’s violent death was the climax of the whole book.Nick invented Gatsby’s so-called friends to come to Gatsby’s funeral, they made a lot of excuses for their absence because they knew that Gatsby was no longer useful to them.What’s more, Daisy, the person who Gatsby really loved, the real killer, didn’t sent any maage or flowers.The comparison of the parties and
funeral showed that the hypocritical relationship among people and decline about moral.Gatsby was not conscious about his unrealistic dream of love, and he did not correctly distinguish the reality and ideal.Gatsby sunk to his own dream so deep that unable to wake up.The contrast between dream and reality not only explained Gatsby’s failure, but also the disillusion of American dream.The lo of American dream reflects the corruption of people’s morality at that time.
