I’m sorry this book is so confusing to me, so much unnecessary detail and hard to follow. My teacher isn’t much help making us write down observations and questions, it’s so hard for me to get books like this when I love action
It's not the most thrilling book I'll agree to that, I'm one for action aswell, but I really enjoyed the book and read chapter 7,8 & 9 in one go. If reading seems hard try listening to an audio book
Recently finished the book yesterday and it's pretty good. Just need to take a test tomorrow but this summary helps me have a quick reminder/recap of the story.
I've only recently learned how to read a well-known book lol - first read it through then see some in-depth reviews of it on TH-cam bringing out more subtle themes and symbols then read it again with much more appreciation and understanding , this book especially benefits from such a method 😊
the T.J.Ecleburg's eyes symbolise the thomas jafferson's idea which means " the beautiful universe is destroyed by the humanbeings themselves. that is why the billboard stands in valley of ashes is board to the rich and beautifull places
I always say that The Great Gatsby is like Rocky Horror Picture Show: you need to go through it once and embrace that it is confusing and weird- then, you need to spend some time researching it (in the case of TGG, watch the movie to get some visuals in your head), then re-read it; only then will it make perfect sense and be enjoyable
Anyone know the answer to "The 1920s was the decade of ‘the flapper’, the young women who exercised unprecedented freedom. Is Jordan Baker a ‘flapper’? Why or why not? Do you think anyone in addition or instead of her is a better representation of a flapper?" LOL
daisy and jordan can be viewed as flappers, jordan is a single pro golfer (women werent still seen equal to men back then, especially bachelors), and daisy maybe because of her individual freedom (i cant remember exactly why, something along the lines of that)
Thank you. The book isnt awful once you get past the first few chapters, but its hard as hell to fully understand whats going on.

I had the same conclusions about that novel. I was absolutely lost and couldn't understand the meaning overall

lazarus 115 factz
good job old sport!
English assignment due in 2 hours
same, the finals and i havent read a single thing
It was a story an ok-ish story but i dnt see the excitement or the amazing part at all for this book. Is it because it reflects the era?
The story is ok ish but the themes and messages are very powerful. Themes such as social class, privilege, power, hollowness, ect still apply today.
the T.J.Ecleburg's eyes symbolise the thomas jafferson's idea which means " the beautiful universe is destroyed by the humanbeings themselves. that is why the billboard stands in valley of ashes is board to the rich and beautifull places
Can you elaborate more? Do the eyes rep the dream and overshadows the poor and means that the classic American dream is what destroyed the town?
it took me way too long to realize it was a billboard. I read that bit 5 times before I understood it was a billboard.
Where was this while I was in highschool

Saving me in my final year tho
I remember reading this book in 10th grade. I hated every second of it. No character is really likable. Thank you for summing it up at the end.
