GATSBY CHAPTER 3 REMIX

chapter 3 is this long build up for us to finally see and find gatsby but what happens is to me I feel that he is kind of a normal guy with just so much money that he just throws these giant parties so he can impress everyone else. I also feel that it would be impossible for him to remember nick if they just bumped into each other a once during the war. I think that these giant parties might be covering for something bigger but at this point you can really tell.

CHAPTER 1 REMIX

I felt that chapter 1 of The Great Gatsby is really important and it feels like a beginning of a movie. The characters that meet fell larger than life and kinda fake almost that everyone has something to hide and isn't who they actually say they are. The setting of this story feels like factions almost about how fancy everyone is and how nice their car or house is. I don't really understand why there is this almost wannabe so much better than everyone else type of vibe that is just kind of annoying.
