As the novel is called “The Great Gatsby”, I think the crucial point to the plot in chapter 1 deals with the mysteriousness of Gatsby himself. We are introduced to Nick’s cousin, college acquaintance, and of course the intriguing Ms. Baker.

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
Josh Campbell and Matt Stuecken with “10 Cloverfield Lane” was a similar movie sci-fi hit movie “Cloverfield”. It all starts off with Michelle drive away from her ex-husband till she gets into a car accident and which she awakens to shackle and an IV into her arm while she’s held captive in a bunker by two men, who claims that the outside world is affected by a chemical mass attack. This apocalypse thriller movie about a possible attack was okay a plot and had its own nerve wrecking scenes. This movie was definitely exhilarating to watch. The title brought back memories about “Cloverfield” which seemed to be a sequel which it wasn’t.
In Chapter 5, Fitzgerald utilizes the weather to reinforce the mood. The rain outside mirrors the storms within, as Gatsby and Daisy meet again. Nick opens the front door and sees Gatsby “pale as death,” “standing in a puddle of water glaring tragically into [Nick’s] eyes” (86). The encounter between Gatsby and Daisy is awkward and silent with little remarks. Gatsby and Daisy have a tough time making conversation.
Nick also tries to leave the party because of the vulgar atmosphere of it. In the story it says that Nick’s temperament is “tolerant, open-minded, quiet, and a good listener”. In the story some events that take place can be questioned by many people but not Nick his tolerant and open minded personality causes him to not question some situations.
In chapter six of the great gatsby a lot of the motives, characteristics and other important attributes of the characters were revealed in the chapter. At the beginning of chapter six the reader and Nick learn that everything about Gatsby was a lie; even his name. We learn that he didn’t inherit any money, lived on a farm in North Dakota, and his real name is James Gatz. Gatsby’s motives were to become extremely rich and win the love of Daisy. He does this by lying to everyone to convince them that he is old money, putting him higher up the social ladder to get Daisy to notice him.
How does Nick describe himself at the beginning of the novel? At the beginning of the novel Nick begins by telling us that unlike others he does not pass judgement on other people. 2. How does Nick describe Tom Buchanan?
Nick was quiet, friendly, non judgement almost passive man when he moved to New York, but in the few months he spent there he realized things about himself and the people there which lead him moving back home. Nick before moving to New York was a simple, stay at home guy when he first goes out with Tom was when he was first forced to let loose and have fun with that group of people. While Nick is at the party he says to us, “ I have been drunk just twice in my life, and the second was that afternoon…” ( Fitzgerald 29). Nick never really had time or opportunity to do this type of stuff when he was home he was more about working like he is now but Tom forces him out with him and is peer pressured into drinking and letting loose with a bunch of strangers that Tom has with them.
Throughout “The Great Gatsby”, published by award-winning author F. Scott Fitzgerald in 1925, multiple characters are shown to go through major changes in their personalities or the way they are portrayed. Be it the concept of Daisy as a pure, angelic being at the beginning quickly morphing into one of her as a superficial person, or the perception of Gatsby as a rich, enigmatic man contorting into one of him as a naïve and blind protagonist, each character’s development affects the book’s plot and works for character development. In the forefront of this development is the narrator himself, Nick Carraway, as he changes radically to understand the world around him. Take, for example, the way that Nick’s naïveté in the introduction is overtaken,
He describes himself as highly tolerant and highly moral. He mentioned that he learned from his father to refrain from judging other people, because his own moral standards will not be met leading him to misunderstanding people. 3. How does Nick describes Tom Buchanan? Tom Buchanan is a powerful figure and a member of Nick’s social club at school when they attended Yale.
(pg 142) In Chapter 3, once again Nick comes across as less mercenary than everyone else in the book as he waits for an invitation to attend one of Gatsby 's parties, and also takes the trouble to seek out his host. Nick has what many of the other characters lack — personal integrity — and his sense of right and wrong helps to raise him above the norm. He alone is repulsed by the false nature of the socialites. He alone is moved by Gatsby 's death.
Another value his father had taught him was to be honest and not to lie. Nick’s closed, rule-bounded view of life comes to a halt at his first visit to the Buchanan’s, where he learns about Tom’s mistress. Nick is befuddled with the juxtaposition of the way he was brought up to the actions of the people in the
