    Certain words hold feelings-- they hold images-- they hold life. Different words contain more power and emotion than imaginable. A word can warm a mood and bring it love and a sense of unpredictable madness to a scene. A word can cool a picture and give it edge with a sense of hope while the lingering memory of the idea flows through the page, becoming immensely important. Both Hemingway and Fitzgerald have compiled their words into enormous feelings, as pressing and powerful as the ocean or as wild and uncontrollable as a fire in both novels, The Old Man and the Sea and The Great Gatsby.…

Scott’s other novels were not as successful as The Great Gatsby, and since then other creators have made work that mirrors F. Scott’s novel.…

    Lastly, one of the major differences is the ending of both book and movie, in the end of the 1974 movie the people hopped off a boat onto an island and danced the night away with music playing in the background as the credits begin to fall. It has nothing to do with the real ending of the book, which says, “So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.” I think this part refers back to Gatsby’s comment (chapter 6) about the past repeating itself.
