Blog Chapter 9

I thought that this chapter was the most depressing chapter in the entire book. After all of the action of the last two chapters i was very upset with how Fitzgerald put the book to a close. I do not feel like i got enough closure on what is happeneing to Daisy and Tom and I definitely wish more people would have gone to Gatsby's funeral. It was interesting however, to see his father and understand just how disconnected Gatsby had become from his former world in order to chase after Daisy. Overall I thought the book was good but I think there are several things that could have been changed for the better.

Chapter 7 and 8 blog

i think that these two chapters were some of the most abnormal chapters that i have seen in any novel. I thought it was so incredibly ridiculous how Gatsby and Daisy just expected to have dinner with tom and for him to find out about the affair. I think that the two should have gone about it a different way and that if they had this entire novel would not end up with so many deaths.i was completely stunned when i learned of myrtles death as well as Gatsby and i think that they are a sad reality.

Chapter 6 Blog

I think that Nick waited to reveal this because it makes the story better and more open to the reader’s interpretation. This way, we were allowed to draw conclusions about Gatsby even though we didn’t really know his back-story. This also prevented us from treating him stereotypically. If we would have know the truth about hi before than we would have seen his actions as a reflection of his past but from this perspective we see them as just actions of an unknown man. I think that this is a great strategy by F. Scott Fitzgerald because it allows the reader to draw his or her own conclusions about Gatsby.

The Great Gatsby Chapter 5

Chapter 5 from the great Gatsby, I don't really get it. I don't understand why Gatsby is still so madly in love with Daisy when he could have so many other girls. The way he goes about having Daisy over just shows how amazingly crazy he is. Not just crazy about Daisy but crazy in general. I don't believe that Daisy would be okay with just sitting in there seeing how extravagant Nick's house looked, knowing that Nick did not do it like that. Not only was his lawn professionally cut, but flowers were delivered, and he had an awesome tea set. I think that Daisy would have left and not stayed, not listened to Gatsby and not cried in front of him.
