Rex had no idea how to break it to them. He didn’t have to tell them what he was going to choose, but he was supposed to. Everyone was supposed to at least give a clue as to what they were going to do. He decided not to, because he didn’t want them to try to stop him He knew being a protecter was dangerous work, with a high fatality rate, higher than any other career. He’d known that even before last April when Edmund, an older teenager he’d actually known and talked to a few times, came back from his work as a protector in a coffin. That had certainly dampened his enthusiasm to become a protector.
Protectors were always romanticised. They were heroes, they protected the nation from everything outside of it. Rex had always looked up to them in admiration, ever since he was young. Then when he knew about the high death rate, he looked at them with even more reverence. They risked their lives for the good of everyone. He found himself still wanting to be part of that, even after some of the fear had set in. He wanted to defend the people. He wanted to keep people safe, especially his family, especially the people who lived in his household.
They didn’t know yet.
Sure, his mother, Svetla, and his grandmother, Harriet, always knew about how much he had admired the protectors, from how he went on about them when he was younger. His mother had warned him. His grandmother, a former protector herself, had encouraged him. She and his mother had both always supported him, but his

Who was really the reason for Gatsby’s death? There are many of reasons that lead up to Gatsby’s death and several people who are considered to have caused it.

Tom’s anger, Daisy’s carelessness, and Gatsby’s idea of the American Dream all contribute to his death in the end.
The Great Gatsby As A Tragedy A hurried read of F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby can generate a tragic impression. The deaths of three of the main characters and the failure of Gatsby and Daisy's romance can be viewed as tragic. However, a deeper analysis of the book reveals a much deeper tragedy.
Perhaps one of the most iconic scenes in The Great Gatsby is where the titular character, Jay Gatsby, or James Gatz as he was first known as, meets his untimely end.
True love is seen through a relationship of two people. Love exists when two people give all their trust, loyalty, and support to one another. Now imagine finding out all of the love and loyalty was false? Betraying a loved one can make someone capable of things they didn’t even know they were capable of. Betrayal is the breaking of a trust that produces moral and psychological conflict within a relationship amongst individuals. In The Great Gatsby, characters pursue in the action of having an affair and the result of betraying their loved ones. In the book, The Great Gatsby, the concept of true love is portrayed in a way that negatively affects the characters.
In The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Gatsby’s hold of the past and his pursuance of his own American Dream ends in certain death. Throughout the story, Gatsby believes that his passion can sway Daisy to leave Tom. These events lead him to relentlessly chase wealth in order to gain social status that is worthy of Daisy. However, the story does not end according to Gatsby’s ideals. Fitzgerald utilizes symbolism to demonstrate Gatsby’s tragic flaw, his chasing of a dream that is already dead.
In the book “The Great Gatsby” there is many things that people say made Gatsby a great or a not so much of a great person. Gatsby was a great man because he became someone with almost everything anybody could and would want but grew up from with nothing, He made all this money from working jobs that were not so great and people envied him for it even though they did not know what he did, and he was just a very mysterious and many people found that very intriguing about him. person For people that didn’t know who he was when he was younger, they all expect him to be old money and get the money from his parents, but as we learn he made his money by working, good or bad jobs he still made money and he was successful and he was proud of it.
The Great Gatsby tells a story of eight people during the summer of 1922 from the observation of Nick Carraway. It's a story about trying to achieve the unattainable, deceit, and tragedy. It takes place around the character Jay Gatz who becomes Jay Gatsby in an attempt to change his persona and attract his long lost love, Daisy. In Nick's telling of the story, Nick and everyone who knew Gatsby, thought he was great. Gatsby threw lavish parties at his beautiful mansion every weekend. He had money, even though no one really seemed to know how he made his money. Gatsby spends years of his life trying to win the heart back of Daisy Buchanan. When they met years ago, he was in the Army and didn't have much money. Daisy came from a wealthy
“In our lives, change is unavoidable, loss is unavoidable. In the adaptability and ease with which we experience change, lies our happiness and freedom.” Through this quotation, Buddha states that you cannot avoid change and loss in life, but the way you adapt to the change and how you react to the change will affect your happiness and freedom. This is indeed the case in F. Scott Fitzgerald novel “The Great Gatsby” in which the character of Jay Gatsby dedicates most of his adulthood to becoming rich so he could marry Daisy Buchanan. However, by the time Gatsby obtained his wealth, Daisy had been married to Tom Buchanan. Despite that, Gatsby does not accept the loss of Daisy and still tries to marry her. If he had accepted the loss of
Gatsby had big dreams, accomplished some but then got too caught up and everything he had done for one girl ended up getting thrown away. Nick had some part because he snitched Gatsby out. It was a big rivalry over one girl who was just interested in money but they were both just glued to the past five years. The bigger the situation got the more had happened, throughout the movie Gatsby had dreams, he had his achievements and of course there is no movie without some failures which all seems to revolve around the last line of the book said by Nick, "So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."
Death can either lead to happiness or hatred, but in the case of murder, it is neither. In F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, characters are killed, hearts are broken, and lives are forever changed. The atmosphere of the deaths of Myrtle and Gatsby foreshadow the later mental and physical deaths that occur between the characters.
Being famous and having money is every kid’s dream. Throwing money around like it grows there is an endless amount is everyone's dream. As many may be the solution to numerous issues, it does not solve the problems of the heart. Since many people do not understand this concept, it is the worst pain, the aching of the heart. This lesson is what Jay Gatsby should learn, how his whole life he thought he could win over a girl with all his money and expensive shirts. In The Great Gatsby by Scott F. Fitzgerald, diction displays how money cannot buy happiness and is not the solution of the heart.
F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel, The Great Gatsby is an impressive social commentary on many themes such as power, money, greed, social status, and so on. The Great Gatsby is originally a novel which has been adapted as a play by Simon Levy. I intend to look at the theoretical aspects of this play and my major focus will be on the social stratification, inequality and gender roles in the American life at that time. The story of the Great Gatsby falls into the timeline of the 1920s.
In book The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, got fame after World War II, since they would give the film to soldiers for entertainment. In this story, the characters wished for money, since it was very controversial due to the American Dream. Chicago the film by Dir. Rob Marshall most of the characters wanted fame and most lied. This book was published in 1925, it is a story narrated by Nick Carraway which ended up being really good friends with Gatsby. The book was published, and it displayed many characteristics through the book during the Jazz Age. Chicago was published in 2002 but its a 1920s film, it is a very interesting book, film and movie due to the fact that at that time, the American Dream as mentioned before, was very famous and almost every american wanted to be part of it. It was a very common thing to think about also after World War II, this is why The Great Gatsby got even more famous. In The Great Gatsby and Chicago, characters dream of fame and love, but those who dream of love do not find it, while those who dream of fame do.
The book that I would want to become and think should be preserved for future generations is “The Great Gatsby.” The reason I think this book deserves to be around for a long time is because first of all I connected with it personally, it relates to human relationships, And lastly it made me think differently after I read it. Those are the reasons I think that the book needs to be saved.
