Mr Patty

"The Great Gatsby"

Gatsby is famous in New York because of his extravagant parties,with lavish spectacles.Gatsby invited Nick to one of his parties.The party was so extravagant with rich guest in Roll Royce,big banquetes,fire works and a nice sinfony to turn on the party.Gatsby was a really calm person and very wealthy he worked with the German army in the war as an spy.In that war Nick worked to and that was the thing they connect them.

My character is Nick

"Anything can happen now that weve slid over this bridge,"I though;"anything at all..."Even Gatsby could happen,without any particular wonder.(Fitzgerald 73) 

The quote means that they are in the wealthy land and there can happend anything because money controls anything in the world.The miracles can exist in this land because Gatsby was like a really admiring person because he earned the power and the respect of all the people so thats the image Gatsby impone in  the city.

I really like how people behave in thsi tomes and how they show their superficial face of absolutly everything becasue they are really superficial.So I like to learn the culture in this time period.I dislike the way Nick is getting influenced by this stupid people that thinks that money is food love and evrything in the world.So I really expect the next chapters can help me to get another perspective of the way Nick behaves.

"I am Gatsby"(Fitzgerald 52)

It is really interesting to find the good details and the real Gatsby.It menas the Gatsby appear to be known as a fresh person that know how to manage situations.
