As the scene unfolds, we notice there is a significant change in the weather that’s interchangeable with Gatsby’s mood and his overall feelings.

The first painting I chose was painted by David Najar and is titled “Seasons Change”. I saw this painting and it really reminded me of how change is a huge part of The Great Gatsby. This painting depicts a tree and one half of the tree has bright leaves grown lit under a sun lit sky, and the other side shows a tree where only the branches are visible, no leaves and under a blue cold sky. This reminds me of when Nick first moved to New York and felt a sense of new beginnings in his life. “And so with the sunshine and great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow fast in movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with summer”(Fitzgerald 4).
Prior to Gatsby and Daisy’s meeting, it is said to be extremely rainy, symbolizing Gatsby’s release of his emotions for Daisy.

This si when Jay loses his cool. He yells and pins Tom against the wall and makes himself seem like a fool. Described in Chapter 7 Gatsby “looked–and this is said in all contempt for the babbled slander of his garden–as if he had “killed a man.” This showed that Gatsby truly was a bad man and he was just hiding well throughout the whole story. When Daisy noticed this she immediately made up her mind that she wanted to be with
During the lifetime of a piece of literature, many factors are altered as demands and audiences change. In addition, a partner of demand is circulation; how a book is accessible to audiences or who reads certain pieces. Importance is focused on how well a book sells, who will read this, and how well will it circulate. These ideas are illustrated through the interplay between cost and accessibility, the resulting quality of novels, and finally the circulation between then and now.

Seasonal Symbolism Seasons play a vast part in the novel, acting as a form of foreshadow for situations are to come.

Climate change has caused many changes and effects in the world but has affected chiefly those in poverty and living in bad situations with limited resources. Climate change has swept away people's homes, taking away many necessities and resources, especially for those in poverty.

In the novel, they also show that the Valley of Ashes is for the poor to go escape there and stay there rather than East and West Egg where the rich and wealthy stay. The Valley of Ashes portrays that not all necessities and resources are there as well as are progressively getting worse as the climate

Weather Representing Emotions Normally weather and emotions are not associated, but throughout the novel The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald makes multiple references comparing the feelings of Jay Gatsby to the weather outside. He uses rain to represent the times of sadness or awkward situations. When those moods uplifted the clouds would break, and the sun would shine. Other times he would use heat to represent times of anger, or tension.
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.

“Man is the only animal for whom his own existence is a problem which he has to solve” By Erich From To my own understanding, man is its own enemy but to elaborate more. This speaks of the human-environment relationship which deals with the studies of how the behaviour and influence of both, the environment and human have on each other. But, that us humans actually are the cause of our ‘’situation’’. This will form a clear direction and structure for the essay in the analysing of The Great Gatsby. With the research I have sourced I will be analysing how the environment isn’t necessarily the cause of human behaviour at times but that humans can manipulate the environment to suite their behaviour or cause the environment to react, in the relation
