Men of Gatsby

The men of Gatsby are similar to the women of Gatsby. In the story men of Gatsby their sly sneaky and very self centered men. They try hard to impress the women with their clothes, cars, house and many other fancy and expensive accessories. Example Myrtle is impressed with Mr. Buchanan because he has money and a big house to buy whatever she pleases.

In the movie the men make many bad decisions to get the women they want. An example is when Gatsby is a bootlegger which is illegal, but he does this to get money and which supplies him with the huge mansion he has and the cars and clothes he has.

In the 1920's women were not very true to their men and i mean they were people not to be trusted. In the movie and book "The Great Gatsby" you can tell because Daisy has an affair with Mr. Buchanan and also Gatsby. She has a daughter with Mr. Buchanan but at the time she says that she loves Gatsby.

The Great Gatsby Film Version!

The movie version of the Great Gatsby is a great book, but also a great movie to also watch. Great Gatsby is a film of many different genres. the plot of the movie is Nick Caraway, a young Midwesterner now living on Long Island, finds himself fascinated by the mysterious past and lavish lifestyle of his neighbor Gatsby. Gatsby is a wealthy man who has an amazing house which he very much like to throw parties at.

The movie shows more facial emotion graphics and mood changes between characters in the movie. And that's what i think one of the thing Fitzgerald is trying to display in his books which better translates in this film. The setting is also better for some visual learners to watch and see in the movie.

1920's

The 1920's was a time of partying and spending, and that was no different in the Great Gatsby. The 20's was right after the war and people wanted to spend the money the have saved for the war efforts. After the war people just wanted to go back to their normal everyday living. They were excited to finally but away their troubles and return to the good old days. After the short recession was over the 20's, gave people shorter work weeks and extra money, which finally gave Americans a time to relax.Like in the Great Gatsby most people spent their free time at luxurious parties such as Gatsby's, where the had no limitations or restraints. Life in the 1920's was amazing for mostly everyone.

In Gatsby the boom of the economic rise made things Gatsby didn't have before the war possible now. Gatsby money that he inherited was lost and when he returned from the war in the 20's, the economy was great and he was able to prosper in his so called "unknown" business. The 1920's made things that were not possible before a given necessity.

Selfish People

People in this world become very selfish in many ways. Selfish means devoted to or caring only for oneself or concerned primarily with one's own interests, benefits, and being regardless of others. For an example someone who is rich or maybe a person who has like in hollywood and moves into LA might be selfish.

Being selfish can lead to being lonely and someone people who might not like you. Selfish people most of the time are not successful because they are inconsiderate and not caring for others. And that rule people say is "treat people the way you want to be treated" and i feel like selfish people dont know the concept of that.

Jealosy

Jealousy is a resentment against an enemy, rival, or a person enjoying success or advantages. Jealousy often consist of the following anger, sadness, and disgust. Jealousy is familiar in relationships as well as job opportunities. When a ex lover sees you with another girl/boy the often are jealous and try to obtain redemption. When you or your fellow co worker gain the job that you wanted you will often be jealous. Most people are jealous of the person with the nicer car, better body, better looks, or who have more money but jealousy leads to grudges, loss of friendships, or even worse physical or emotional pain.

Many people feel jealous from time to time. Jealousy is easy to deal with when you finally understand what it taught you. The better ways then being jealous to handle it is communicating your feelings, identifying what your jealousy is teaching you, and finally changing any misguided beliefs that you may have had. Jealousy can be a huge problem if you don't try to come up with a appropriate solution
