The Great Gatsby By F. Scott Fitzgerald

The juxtaposition between Gatsby at his ‘enormous house’ and Gatsby at Nick’s house shows that Gatsby can only be comfortable in his own environment. This is previously shown when his mask slips in the car ride to New York in chapter 4. Fitzgerald uses only two settings for chapter 5 in order to draw parallels between the change of scene and the relationship between Gatsby and Daisy. At the start of the chapter - where Nick, Daisy and Gatsby are gathered in Nick’s house – the relationship between Daisy and Gatsby seems incredibly awkward and both characters seem extremely tense and nervous to be re-united and this is shown by Gatsby’s ‘abortive attempt of a laugh creating an uncomfortable sense of pity for Gatsby. Gatsby previously tries to make Nick’s house as close to his own as possible ‘trim the grass quote here!’ proving that he knows his mask will slip at Nick’s house. However, when Gatsby invites Nick and Daisy over to his house his relationship with Daisy gradually becomes stronger and Gatsby becomes far more relaxed. Gatsby becomes the romantic at his mansion, ordering music to be played; it is not ironic that Kilspringer plays the love nest.

“Nice,” Bailey said examining the door after taking a last glance in the room they had come from.

She looked at him with her clear dark eyes…. “Did you look at the stretched-out billboards like I told you?”

As the summer goes on, Nick gets invited to one of Gatsby’s big parties. He meets Jordan at the party and they meet Gatsby himself, a young man, a great smile, and tells everyone “old sport”. Later on in the party Gatsby asks to talk to Jordan Baker alone. Nick learns that the parties were all to get and impress Daisy. Gatsby asks Nick to invite Daisy over to his to tea, so Gatsby can meet her. When Daisy and Gatsby meet each other for the first time in five years it starts off awkward, then they start talking to each other. Gatsby tells her about how rich he is now and invites her over to his house. Daisy and Gatsby then begin the affair between each other as their relationship grows. Later, Gatsby get invited to Daisy’s house where Tom starts

In the novel “ The Great Gatsby” by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Nick describes Tom and Daisy as careless people which they are. Nick and Daisy are careless people because they can afford to be careless because of their money and use other people or do nothing at all for their own benefit. For example, When Tom told Myrtle that he could not marry her because he was in a relationship with daisy and she was catholic and did not believe in divorce and told lies to myrtle to use her as a toy even though myrtle was also using Tom to get to a higher social class for her own benefit even Nick stated that when she was with Tom that she would act like from a higher class when she was with tom. Another example of Tom 's and Daisy 's carelessness is that daisy wanted Gatsby and had her fun with Gatsby for a while, but did not face the consequences when it was time to tell Tom the truth of Daisy and Gatsby and instead ran away. Another reason that tom and daisy are careless is that neither Tom or daisy went to Gatsby 's funeral and just forgot him like nothing ever happened between the Buchanan family and Gatsby. All of this proves or is evidence that tom and daisy are careless people and money helps them take care of their problems.

Gatsby arranges to have tea with Daisy at Nick’s house without her knowing. She had no idea she’d be seeing Gatsby there. They finally reunite, and like most people, Gatsby was nervous to see a girl he liked/loved after so many years. They both said they were happy to see each other but both felt embarrassed by one another's company. Daisy lies to Nick when she tells him her life was terrible. “I felt the basic insincerity of what she had said… as though the whole evening had been a trick of some sort to exact a contributory emotion from me.” After having tea with Daisy, Gatsby invites both her and Nick over to his place. Daisy was impressed with all the nice things he had. “They're such beautiful shirts, she sobbed, her voice muffled in the thick folds. ‘It makes me sad because i've never seen such-such beautiful shirts

In F. Scott Fitzgerald 's novel, The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald delves into the psychological impact of one’s environment. The characters in The Great Gatsby, Jay Gatsby, Tom Buchanan, and Daisy Buchanan, are all affected by their surroundings. This exemplifies how the American lifestyle, as well as the American dream, is detrimental to a person’s character.

Gatsby reuniting with Daisy for the first time in five years changes Gatsby. He believes he has found his way. At Least after the first few awkward minutes with Daisy. The film has this scene setup very similarly to the book, but there are quite a few key differences.. You can read and see Gatsby’s uneasiness before Daisy arrives. Gatsby’s doubt of her arrival. It is raining before and even after Daisy arrives. A rather gloomy setting for Gatsby to meet Daisy the love of his life. Just before Gatsby meets Daisy in the Book Nick said this said “pale as death, with his hands plunged like weights in his coat pockets, was standing in a puddle of water”(Fitzgerald 86). This foreshadows Gatsby dying in his pool. The movie never does anything to foreshadow Gatsby's death in a similar manner. Once Gatsby and Daisy are talking the tense silence between them Is felt more in the book. Nick said “For half a minute there wasn’t a sound”(Fitzgerald 86). The movie breaks the awkward silence with a soft song, in a similar manner to restaurants having music in the background. The book does not back down for creating a odd first meeting between the two, unlike the book. Not long after Nick is outside giving Gatsby and Daisy space to talk in private. In the film he talks about being “within and without”(Fitzgerald 35). This quote is in the book, however it is when Nick is with Myrtle, Tom, and Catherine. The Film Nick mentions directly that he is guarding both Tom and Daisy’s secret. In the Book this is implied throughout the whole Book. The Film’s approach the reuniting of Daisy and Gatsby maybe more pleasing as a viewer, but the book was

When Nick is talking to Gatsby minutes prior to Daisy’s arrival it is clear he is nervous and anxious, for example when he replies, “hollowly” to Nick. He also skims through a magazine with “vacant eyes” showing that he is not actually interested in the magazine but is really thinking about something else, something to with Daisy. He kept on “peering” out the window which indicates that he is shy and didn’t want to be seen. I think that the diction in this paragraph is really descriptive, for the reader to grasp the enormity and get an almost exact sense of how people are

In the beginning, Gatsby fires all his servants so there would not be any rumours about him and Daisy when she came in the afternoons. The next day was a very hot day. Nick takes the train to East Egg to see and have lunch with Tom and Daisy. When he arrives, he is surprised to find Gatsby and Jordan there. The nurse brings in Daisy’s baby girl, Gatsby is stunned to see a child. Later, Daisy is getting bored and asks Gatsby if she would like to go to town with her. Tom is sure that he and Daisy have feeling for each other, so he insists that they all go to town. Nick rides with Jordan and Tom in Gatsby’s car, and Gatsby and Daisy ride together in Tom’s car. They take a suite in the Plaza Hotel. Tom starts to accuse Gatsby of lying about having

The Great Gatsby is full of scenes that have great meaning. The third passage describes the scene where Gatsby was showing daisy and nick around in his house. The setting for this passage is Gatsby asking Nick to invite Daisy to Nick’s house for tea. However, the plan was that Gatsby would meet here for the first time since he left for the war. That meeting is considered to be the Inciting incident. This passage is significant because the first meeting was extremely awkward and daisy was crying. However, when they went to Gatsby’s house, Daisy was extremely happy leading to the scene were Gatsby distributed the shirts. While the shirts are only clothes, they were used to represent the time that was wasted and the strong dream of them being together. It also shows a moment of realization for Daisy. In this part, the overall tone was different than the rest book. Nick, the narrator, was confused during this part because he

“Uh, no offense, but this place looks awful,” Leo said, with a glance around the place. It was true to the whole place was quite

“Garen.. Wow. How did you get this over night?” Being the curious person I am, it was irresistible not to ask, because I’m pretty sure you just don’t magically get a house like this one.

Arriving home late at night, Nick runs into Gatsby and agrees to help arrange a plan for him to meet Daisy for tea. The next day, Daisy arrives alone and Gatsby comes in deathly nervous to meet her. At first they are stiff but later they open up and converse in happiness. Gatsby takes Daisy to his house and shows off his possessions, she cries from taking in all the nice things he has. Nick leaves them in peace after they start to dance, forgetting that he was

"Okay, come with me, I'll show you your room and then I'll give you a tour," he said walking to the stairs. We ran up two flights of stairs and entered a room at the end of the hallway. When we walked in, my jaw a dropped. It was gorgeous. "It's gorgeous, and I love the colors black and
