The novel is a better and detailed version of a story about a man who is fighting for the love of his life, but she is already a wife and mother.

Daniel Cho 8/3/15 AP Literature Two Minds Think A Like The Great Gatsby and The Catcher in the Rye have two similar characters, Jay Gatsby and Holden Caulfield, who have faced similar obstacles, the lack of love. The two protagonists tried to gain attention from others, which they suffered from negative effects. The negativity had taken a huge affect on them because the characters became delusional to what reality. The outcome wouldn’t have happened if these two protagonists were just willingly to admit the obstacles that they had to overcome and should have not exacerbate their situation. Even though the outcomes were inevitable, the characters have focused on an issue that is considered to be paramount to them, which one lead to one’s…

The Greater Great Gatsby The book the Great Gatsby has been depicted by lots of films, but the two that stand out the most are the 1974 and the 2013 versions. The1974 movie has strengths and weaknesses when comparing it to the book as does the 2013 version. Analyzing each movie and closely examining its connection to the book took some time. Finally the 1974 movie is a more noteworthy adaptation of the book then the 2013, in that this version was better at keeping the essence of the characters and conveying F. Scott Fitzgerald 's purpose in the writing the novel.…

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.…
Jay Gatsby, the man Nick follows in the story, much more blatantly…
In 1924, Francis Scott Fitzgerald traveled to France seeking inspiration to spark his creativity. In his time there, he wrote The Great Gatsby, a novel considered by many to be his finest work ever. The book was well received when published in 1925, however it was only until the 50s and 60s that the book was portrayed as one of the greatest American novels ever written. F. 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. Which brings to mind, did Nick change his mind?…
