Gatsby Alternate Ending

Fitzgerald leaves the sentence unfinished because he is making a clear connection towards the theme of dreams. The sentence is referring to dreams and how we will try harder to achieve dreams in order to obtain them. Fitzgerald then cuts off Nick while he’s talking about achieving the dream, but these sort of events also happen to Gatsby trying to achieve his dream. Nick is very hopeful in this sentence as well as hopeful that Gatsby will see his dream of returning with Daisy one day, but in both incidents they are cut off before being finished. Fitzgerald leaves the sentence unfinished because he is making a comment on how even though Gatsby was great and persevered to achieve his dream in the end his dream was unfinished.

So naturally Michaelis tried to find out what had happened, but Wilson wouldn’t say a word — instead he began to throw suspicious look at his visitor and ask himself what he’d been doing at certain times on certain days of the week. Just as the latter was getting restless, some workers came past heading to the door for his restaurant, and Michaelis approach the chance to get away, intending to return later. But he never did. He supposed he forgot to, that’s all. When he gets outside again, a little later after seven o’clock, he was remembered of the conversation because he heard Mrs. Wilson’s voice, loud and clear coming down-stairs in the garage.

In chapter seven, Nick, Jordan, Gatsby and the Buchanan's, go to New York, where Tom confronts Gatsby on the topic of Daisy. Later as Gatsby and Daisy are driving back from New York, they hit Myrtle Wilson with their car killing her. This is where the American Dream’s demise begins. Gatsby and Daisy have recently been seeing a lot of each other. So much so that Gatsby fired his servants, to prevent gossip spreading; "I wanted someone who wouldn't gossip". However Tom is suspicious of the two of them and believes they are having an affair. When Nick goes to the Buchanan’s he is surprised to see Gatsby and Jordan there. All of them decide to go to New York, and Tom splits them up, taking Gatsby’s car with Nick and Jordan, and Gatsby and Daisy taking Toms car. In New York they stay in a hotel room. Tom becomes increasingly hostile, mocking Gatsby before snapping at him, confronting him and Daisy "I suppose the latest thing is to sit back and let Mr Nobody from Nowhere make love to your wife". Gatsby insists that Daisy loves him, and demands Daisy tell Tom she had never loved him,

In the beginning of the novel the narrator Nick Carraway says, “Gatsby turned out all right in the end; it is what preyed on Gatsby, what foul dust floated in wake of his dreams that temporarily closed out my interest in the abortive sorrows and short-winded elations of men”. Well we don’t know how justified Nick is saying this since it’s in the beginning of the novel. So we only see Gatsby through Nick’s eyes, so all of our opinions of him are based on what Nick sees and thinks. I can assume what he writes about Gatsby is the truth, since Nick says he reserves all judgments. I believe what he says because he makes us trust him through his comments on the first few pages. For example, on the very first page of the book Nick says, “Gatsby represented everything for which I have an unaffected scorn”. Even though, Nick had doubts towards he could not help but admire him. From the beginning when Nick first met Gatsby he recognized his faults, but Nick still liked Gatsby. Nick is attracted to Gatsby’s bright and understanding smile. That’s why I feel like Nick said “Gatsby turned out all right in the end”.

Chapter 4 starts off with Nick providing a list of all the guests who attended Gatsby’s parties in the summer and the irony is that none of them actually knew him. When Nick accompanies Gatsby on a trip into the city for lunch, he reveals the truth about his past. Gatsby states that he is from a wealthy family from the Midwest town of San Francisco, he graduated from Oxford, and declared himself a hero in the war. During lunch, Gatsby introduces Nick to his former business partner, Meyer Wolfsheim who apparently fixed the 1919 World Series. Based on the conversation, Nick begins to think that Gatsby is involved in an organized crime. When they leave the restaurant, they come across Tom Buchanan and as Nick introduces Gatsby to him, Gatsby becomes

The beginning of chapter four starts off with Nick giving a list and describing the guests that come to Gatsby’s parties. The tone of this passage seems to be casual but amused. Nick starts ranting a list of endless names, each with a description about that person, while seeming very interested in who these people are and why they are at Gatsby’s party. He says it as if he has had a lot of time to analyze and group the different kinds of people at the party. He is able to group them apart from East Egg and West Egg. He tells a lot of background information about each person,like the fact the “young Brewer, who had his nose shot off in the war” or “Edgar Beaver, whose hair turned cotton-white one winter afternoon for no good reason at all” (Fitzgerald

Today we are here together to say goodbye to James Gatz but we all know him as Jay Gatsby. I know he would of hoped more people of come because of all the parties and people he knew, the good and the bad ones also. He told so many lies about his whole life. Not even a few days ago before he died when I called him. Gatsby was killed by George Wilson and then Wilson killed himself when I called Gatsby to check up on him. I knew Gatsby for a while now. I never knew a hopeful person like Gatsby before in my life. Gatsby told me about his real life and it got me surprise because he had so little and then he had so much. He didn’t know what to do about it. Now I’m going to tell you about James Gatz and what had become about his life…

Wherever there is a law there is someone willing to break it. Just as no good deed goes unnoticed, illegal activity rarely goes unpunished, especially when the criminal lives in the limelight. One way or another, the acts of a materialistic lawbreaker will come back to haunt him. In F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel, The Great Gatsby, Jay Gatsby demonstrates the habits of a greedy bootlegger. Jay Gatsby’s hobbies easily made him several enemies and few real friends. Which, ultimately makes him responsible for his own passing. Gatsby is a materialistic, corrupt racketeer whose immorality leads him to his untimely demise.

The aim of an exposition in a text is to foreground issues and themes that will be prevalent in the rest of the story. This is evident in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby where the first chapter is used to introduce the main characters in the story – Nick, from whose point of view the novel is written, Daisy and Tom Buchanan and Gatsby, whom the novel is named after. It sets the scene and foregrounds the wealth and superficial lifestyle of some through the use of setting, the contrasting natures of the American Dream, with the belief that hard work will get you places in life contrasting with the materialistic and shallow nature of those who have ‘old’ money and do not have to work for a

but this time, they finished at dawn, due to the higher caution. It was still dark and there was not any daylight, when they were returning somebody suddenly heard a clack from the minefield. He alarmed the others. Fear had left everyone breathless. There was a strange reticence. Everyone was expecting a horrible thing. The longer the silent moments of waiting, the bigger the people's panic and fear. They were sticking to the rocks and sandbags more and more, like they were rooting into the soil. The clack repeated in the field. The troops got on standby in prone position. The critical circumstance had taken our breath away. An urgent call was made to the division headquarters which was on a high alert. The mortars and artillery groups were

The passage of this commentary comes from Chapter 2 of The Great Gatsby. In this passage, Nick goes to East Egg to see the former members of the Yale Club, and are introduced to Tom and Daisy Buchanan as well as Jordan Baker. East Egg is a place in Long Island where people with ‘old’ money reside, while West Egg contains individuals with ‘new’ money. In this passage, Fitzgerald highlights the superficial benefits of living in East Egg. Fitzgerald wants us to understand the impact the alluring nature of East Egg is on those who do not live there.

During chapter 7, at lunch, Gatsby and Daisy seem to unveil their feelings for eachother and Tom seems to have realized what has been going on between them. Daisy says that they should go into town, but after saying something to Gatsby, Tom picks up on the situation and starts to make things tense. Tom insists that they do go into town, so they do. Tom takes Gatsby’s car with Nick and Jordan though Gatsby says that he his running low on gasoline; Gatsby and Daisy take Tom’s car. Once Tom, Nick, and Daisy stop for gas at the Wilson's’ shop we learn that Mr. Wilson has found out that his wife is cheating on, though he doesn't know who with and says that he is going to move them somewhere far away.

“To realize the American dream, the most important thing to understand is that it belongs to everybody. It's a human dream. If you understand this and work very hard, it is possible” (Saralegui). With understanding and solid effort anyone can achieve great things. On the other hand Fitzgerald is saying the exact opposite. In Fitzgerald’s novel The Great Gatsby the division of society by wealth is observed as well as how they bring about the destruction of Jay Gatsby, Tom Buchanan and Myrtle Wilson.

Not every love story can end in the happy, fairytale ending that many people dream of having. In some instances, the love story ends in painful solitude. This was the exact case for Gatsby in the novel, The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Gatsby represents in a sense, a knight in shining armor, fighting off a dragon to win over the princess. However this knight doesn’t always manage to get his way.

Edmund went to respond to Goldie, but by the time his mouth opened, she'd already exited the water, and his white hot gaze was upon his brother; noting the manner in which his sibling's fingers deliberately brushed Goldie's skin, and the looks he gave her, as she slipped back into the dress, and he decided it best not to speak. Edmund wasn't certain he'd be able to control his anger and annoyance if he did so. That damn Walt, always interfering.
