(Miller) All Gatsby wants is to turn back time to before he was well known and wealthy, he wants to be great. How does he achieve this “greatness” you may ask? Gatsby’s actions prove him to be a sincere and loyal person, even during a time of corrupt social values. From taking the blame of Myrtle's death, to having a different, more optimistic look towards life. Gatsby dreamt of being the son of god when he was a child. Gatsby went from being dirt poor to becoming one of the most well people in New York.But is he really “Great”? Gatsby’s bootlegging business was a main cause of his unfortunate death. He opened many drug stores and sold liquor illegally over the counter. Gatsby’s lies fooled people into thinking he was a different man than he really was.

Gatsby met Daisy five years ago in Louisville, he then got called into war, and was separated from Daisy. When Nick gets invited to one of Gatsby’s parties he encounters Jordan. During the end of the party Jordan releases why Gatsby does the things he does. ‘‘I’ve just heard the…

F. Scott Fizgerald’s novel The Great Gatsby and short story “Winters Dream” show that he tended to write what he truly knew. There were many parallels between the two pieces which both depicted central themes of materialistic values and an ever unreachable dream of greatness. Showcased through the writings were two highly persistent billionaires seeking affluence and the heart of a woman they would never have. Between wild parties, alcohol, desire for the most luxurious lifestyle and the uproar…

The chapter “...So Does Season” from How Read Literature Like a Professor by Thomas C. Foster demonstrates the use of season associating with characters and the setting. As said by Foster, spring is associated with “childhood and youth” (186) because of the new birth of flowers and nature; however, the birth of Frankenstein’s creation takes on the day of a “dreary night of November” (Shelley, 56).
