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 the book The Great Gatsby, Chapter 3, it states “Every Friday five crates of oranges and lemons arrived from a fruitier in New York—every Monday these same oranges and lemons left his back door in a pyramid of pulp less halves” I mean I don’t really think this count but I would say that this is pretty wasteful I don’t think this would count though. Also I don’t believe that Fitzgerald portray himself in Tocqueville’s portray. I can’t really find any evidence in chapter 3 or 4. But I would say that in chapter 1 Miss.

The passage I chose to analyze occurred in chapter three of The Great Gatsby. Gatsby decided to host one of his huge, extravagant parties in which Nick, the narrator, was invited. He had been intrigued by the thought of Gatsby and the fact that no one had seemed to have met him at this gathering. Nick was told several different speculating rumors about Gatsby, one even regarding how he had killed a man. The buildup around meeting Gatsby was immense until finally, towards the end of the chapter, Nick meets Gatsby.
The Great Gatsby When reading The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald likes to mention money repeatedly. He likes to mention being rich and all the problems it comes with.

The years before the Great Depression were a time of great prosperity and innovation. In “ The Great Gatsby” by F. Scott Fitzgerald, he illustrates an extensive view of the complex American Dream. He utilizes characters in his book to also highlight themes of facades, materialism,superficialism, and emptiness to show the true disillusionment of the 1920’s. Additionally, just as authors use themes to portray timeless emotions and experiences, music often has a way of reinforcing these ideas in an easily digestible way. The theme that is portrayed in Chapter 3 of “The Great Gatsby” is one of superficialism which is represented by the guests at Gatsby’s lavish parties by the way they interact with each other.

1. The first chapter in "The Great Gatsby" provides crucial elements that formulate the rest of the plot. Just one element that I believed was crucial to the plotline in the first chapter was the telephone call during dinner. This moment notifies that readers as well as the characters what sort of life Tom and Daisy Buchanan have among themselves. It divulges Tom's character, as well as introducing the first conflict in the plot.
