The FOMC is charged with holding inflation in check and ensuring labor market durability. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) report states unequivocally, the number of unemployed persons remains essentially unchanged in October and unemployment rates in major worker groups also remain static. One month’s results are not indicative of a trend and are not suggestive of any certainty with regard to labor market durability.
In chapter two of How To Read like Professor, Foster explains to readers that act of communion can be any time people decide to eat or drink together. He continues on to explain some concepts such as that eating is so uninteresting that there has to be some reason authors write about it, that acts of communion only happen with people you're comfortable with, and that there maybe an underlying emotion or message hidden in these meals. All of these ideas can be found in chapter 7 of The Great Gatsby where Tom Buchanan invites everyone over for lunch; things escalate while sipping wine and waiting for the food. Eating brunch with you best friend might sound fun, but Foster brings up the point that it is infact fairly boring to write an eating scene. This causes readers to assume
In chapter 7, the scene in which Tom and Gatsby have a quarrel about Daisy’s love, pushes the plot into its climax. In the movie, however, there is an additional comment made by Tom that is not mentioned in the book - Gatsby is unlike everyone else in the room because he does not come from a rich family. “Nothing that [he] do, or say, or steal, or dream up can ever change that.” This comment makes Gatsby extremely angry - his face is red like fire, and he even breaks glasses on the table. When he can no longer bear Tom’s cynical saying, he pulls Tom’s collar and raises his fist to stop his despised words and shouts “shut up” for five times.

When I began to read the first four chapters of my ISP novel, I gained many insights into the characters, as well as the plot. I had first thought this novel would be narrated by Gatsby, but instead, the novel was put in the point of view of Nick Caraway. I find it quite interesting that Nick would be sharing Gatsby’s story of getting his life together to bring his lover. Since the novel consists of Gatsby’s life I would have thought that he would be the narrator, to allow the readers understand his true emotions and explain what exactly happened. But now that I know it is Nick narrating the novel I am able to trust his detailed opinion when explaining someone’s character, someone’s story, or witnessing scenarios.
Overall, Baz Luhrmann’s adaptation of the great Gatsby was great, but as all adaptations, it had its faults and its strengths during production. The song “100$ bill” by Jay Z for instance, was not incorporated well into the scenes as it could have been. According to Baz Luhrmann rap in a way was like a parallel to jazz in Gatsby 's period. Not to say that Jay Z’s music is not great, but the scenes that incorporated his music may have felt awkward to some modern day viewers.

F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby was written in the early 20th century and since then has been a part of every American teen’s high school curriculum. The author depicts the story of Jay Gatsby as he invents a life of wealth and decadence in order to pursue his childhood love interest. H.L. Mencken reviews this novel in the Chicago Sunday Tribute in 1925, as no more than a “glorified anecdote” (Mencken) because it is a superficial story about superficial people. Mencken’s evaluation of The Great Gatsby correctly disparages the story’s superficial characters and simple plot as “somewhat amateurish” (Mencken) and how the theme lacks true value as the love is shown to be “preposterous… motif reduced to a macabre humor” (Mencken) instead

The Great Gatsby Literary Analysis “They were careless people…” says Nick Carraway, the narrator of The Great Gatsby. In a story depicting the 1920s during a time of prosperity, growth, and the emergence of the America as a major global power, this statement may seem to be contrary. But in reality, Nick Carraway’s description of his friends and the people he knew, was not only true, but is an indication of those who were striving for the American dream. F. Scott Fitzgerald suggests that the American Dream is foolish, the people who pursue it are immoral and reckless, and this pursuit is futile. First, F. Scott Fitzgerald proposes that the American dream is foolish.
In The Great Gatsby, author F. Scott Fitzgerald utilizes the subjectivity of narration to provide further insight into the characters of the story. Because the novel is told through a first-person point of view, objectivity is nearly impossible. That would require the narrator to disregard their personal feelings and opinions. Therefore, The Great Gatsby is a subjective narrative full of biased opinions about the lives of the wealthy in New York, during the roaring twenties. The individual that expresses these biased views is the narrator Nick Carraway, who is born into the upper class.
The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald, could be considered an autobiographical novel in many ways. From the events that happen to the people themselves, Fitzgerald had represented himself throughout the novel. This story is about a young man, named Nick Carraway, narrator of the story, who moves to New York to join the bond business, but ends up in a drama filled “adventure” with new “friends,” who include, Jordan Baker, Myrtle Wilson, George Wilson, Daisy Buchanan, Tom Buchanan, and Jay Gatsby who he met while staying in New York. Nick Carraway and Jay Gatsby, two of the main characters, contain the most connections between Fitzgerald’s life and the novel. He had given both characters, Nick and Gatsby, qualities that he had himself while he was alive.
