Examples Of Dialectical Journal For The Great Gatsby

Authors Note: This Chapters kind of like a Introduction, but I plan for the other chapters to be longer.

Summary- In Chapter 1, the reader finds that Nick Carraway, a moral and tolerant man from the Midwest, narrates and takes the role of author for the rest of the story. Throughout the book, the reader looks at the happenings through Nick's eyes and finds out what he is thinking. Chapter 1, like many chapter 1's, starts out with someone or something explaining themselves and showing how their life has gone thus far. The Great Gatsby is no exception. Nick says that he came from the Midwest to New York's "West Egg" on Long Island. As the name might imply, there is also an "East Egg", which Nick describes the more fashionable of the two. East Egg is where Nick goes one evening, in order to reacquaint himself

Arriving back at his apartment, Booker found Tom curled on the couch, his gaunt face a mask of misery. Dressed in ill-fitting sweats, the borrowed clothing swamped his slender frame, giving him the appearance of someone much younger than his twenty-five years. There was a bucket next to the couch that smelled faintly of vomit and Booker averted his eyes, unable to stomach the sight of the foul smelling liquid. His lower body ached, and all he wanted to do was take a hot shower and go to bed. For the first time since Tom’s arrival, he was aware of the enormity of what he was taking on. He could say goodbye to his carefree bachelor’s life, he was now responsible for a sick and emotionally damaged

As I sat there in the hotel, all was well until Tom accuses Gatsby of being a murderer and Gatsby lost his temper. I could tell Gatsby was furious at Tom and after he over reacted he tried to calm Daisy down but she just didn't feel the same way about Gatsby after this incident. After witnessing the fighting and constant arguing between Tom, Daisy, and Gatsby. Tom eventually sent Daisy off with Gatsby and I watched them as they awkwardly walk out to the car.

In chapter 8 being an outcast/ or a loner was a feeling from this book that I wasn't expecting. I from where the books seemed like it was going it was that sex doesn't matter companionship is what Bernard wants and I believe that there it's a little weird the feelings and thoughts he's having in his head.m" Bernard says repetitively how alone he is and how he's growing feelings for Linda and like how she's noticing it and is growing them as well. From what I have read. It almost gives a sense that Linda cares and like they understand each other.

Tilting his chin upwards, Tom peered up seductively through his long, thick lashes. “So, does that mean you wanna fool around?” he asked in a soft, lilting voice.

4. The title “The Great Gatsby” directly relates to the character Jay Gatsby himself. Though Gatsby is really just a sad, lonely man trying to regain Daisy Buchanan’s love on the inside, through the eyes of others, including Nick Carraway, he is seen as this great mysterious being. Living this sort of mysterious life and throwing these lavish parties just adds to the illusion of his greatness. For example, one of Gatsby’s first parties seen in the novel is described by Nick, stating, “I believe that on the first night I went to Gatsby’s house I was one of the few guests who had actually been invited. People were not invited−they went there … Sometimes they came and went without having met Gatsby at all, came for the party with a simplicity of heart that was its own ticket of admission.”

Cartoon #1: The first cartoon in the packet, with the quote “Loved our evening, Lou. Thanks for being rich,” reminds me of the scene where Gatsby and Daisy see each other again after almost five years.

Daisy says this when she first sees Gatsby mansion, and she is immediately mesmerized by his huge amount of wealth.
