What I Learned From The Great Gatsby

The great gatsby book is mostly about cheating. All the characters are basically in a circle and cheating on each other. Many characters in the gatsby try to be something that they are not. They wanna seem better than what they are. In the great gatsby Tom and daisy tries to be something he isn’t. My thesis statement is that Most people live a lie pretending to be something that they are not.

People conceal who they really are; they prefer to let others see them in the most agreeable terms. The influence of classes, popularity, money, and trends can cause trouble between others. People create images for themselves to allow them to hide behind the mistakes they’ve created. Their ignorance blocks them from doing the right deed. In F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel, The Great Gatsby, the Roaring Twenties biggest hits were large parties, entertainment, and the bibond business. People were separated by old money, rich families, and new money, earning one’s money themselves. They lived completely different lives in society. One of the characters, Daisy Buchanan, belongs to the old money society and lives an elegant, carefree life with her

Self Knowledge is a very important asset to have in life. Without self knowledge, one can be viewed as someone completely different or it may lead to poor decision making. The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald shows a great representation of self knowledge or lack of through the main characters and their effects. Jay Gatsby's lack of self knowledge ruins the idealistic vision of his future with Daisy which lead to a life of deception, Nick Carraway's lack of self confidence and identity leads to his character giving off the impression that he has a fake personality, and Daisy Buchanan's wrong decisions mainly lead to her lack of self knowledge. The lack of identity in one's character can lead to future problems.

Time remains a universal continuation of the past into the present and bears a strong hold on the future. The destruction of satisfaction in history withholds the contentment of the future with an impeding sense of unalterable guilt. In The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald demonstrates “the past is forever in the present” through numerous literary and narrative techniques, suggesting that memories serve as crucial components in the development of individuals.

The Great Gatsby is written by the American author F. Scott Fitzgerald. The story takes place in “the roaring twenties”. The characters in the novel have dreams and goals and not one dream ends well. That is why my thesis statement is: The Great Gatsby is really about unattainable dreams. The dreams I am discussing is Gatsby´s American dream, Daisy’s dream and Nick’s dream.

Thesis Statement: Throughout the narrative, Scott Fitzgerald uses symbols such as the Valley of Ashes, the green light and the eyes of TJ Eckleburg to indicate how greed, materialism and the loss of moral values in society contributed to the unattainability and corruption of the American Dream.

Literature is affected by memory, symbols, and patterns though the connections made between the reader and the novels. By understanding the symbols and patterns of a novel, the reader can better connect to the story being told. In The Great Gatsby, Jay Gatsby is obsessed with looking at a green light. Realizing that the green light symbolizes Gatsby’s longing for Daisy, the reader can better acknowledge the greater theme of the story. Symbols and patterns provide better interpretation of a story to the reader.

Another significant factor that contributes to this aspiration is seen through Daisy Buchanan. In Daisy's case, it is seen that she does not thrive for happiness and is handed all the wealth and beauty without putting in the effort. For her social class, however, she was only given one job which was to be a vision of beauty with a perfect husband and children despite not being truly happy.
