In chapter six, Gatsby refers to Daisy, where he is told by Nick that, “You can’t repeat the past”, however Gatsby discredits this and exclaims, “Can’t repeat the past? He cried incredulously Why of course you can!” Clearly, Gatsby greatly yearns for his past with Daisy, even being ignorant of Nick’s that the past cannot be restored. A major keypoint in this, would be that since Gatsby wants to restore his past with Daisy, then Daisy must be the same as she was before. Therefore, Daisy living…

In the novel, The Great Gatsby, written by F. Scott Fitzgerald, I noticed a section within the text in which I was able to form a connection. In this specific section, Jay Gatsby has asked Jordan Baker to pose a question to Nick Carraway.

In fact, she “tried to buy ten cents worth of prussic acid” (Taylor). This suspicious action made everyone believe that Lizzie had wanted to poison her targets. In addition to this, it is uncommon for someone to go to a corner store and ask for that kind of substance, unless they needed to carry out a task that involved the poison being used as an exterminant. Lizzie especially…

Know the value of things, not the price. The Great Gatsby is a twisted novel written by F. Scott Fitzgerald, there are people who get so caught up in money that they miss out on the opportunity to appreciate life’s blessing.

that would be really hard to remember it. This is why I’m here to help you out, the first method I would prefer is having a notebook and a pencil so you can start writing the items that you are getting to you, the day that you start packing up your bags you will start crossing out the item that you found and have already been put in.
