Essay About Great Gatsby And Cousin Daisy

The Great Gatsby by F. Scott FitzgeraldThe Great Gatsby by F. Scott FitzgeraldThe book The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald is a fictional novel written and based on the 1920s, also known as the Roaring Twenties. A time where people drank, partied, and were becoming immoral. The main character and also the narrator of the novel, Nick Carraway, is a conservative young man from the Midwest who comes to New York to seek ‘freedom’ and escape his small town background. But then decides to leave, judging it to be shallow and meaningless. When being in New York, he sees his cousin Daisy. There he meets her husband, Tom Buchanan, and finds that he is cheating on her with Myrtle Wilson. He also meets Gatsby, a poor wealthy young man who is very much in love with Nick’s cousin, Daisy. In the novel Nick is also introduced to Jordan Baker, Daisy’s good friend. She is a wealthy young golfer whom Nick ends up dating while being in New York,. At the end of the novel, Nick says to Gatsby, “They’re a rotten crowd…You’re worth the whole damn bunch put together.” He tells Gatsby this to let him know he is different compared to Daisy, Tom and Jordan Baker because unlike them Gatsby wanted to pursue his dream, and go after what he wanted, Daisy, he was better. While the others were just living their lives without purpose and a dream to go after.

Jay Gatsby is a poor young man who falls in love with Daisy Fay Buchanan, a wealthy and shallow ‘golden girl’. And like Daisy, they were both materialistic. Their differences though was that Gatsby fought for what he believed in and desired, which was true love and Daisy. Gatsby did everything to get Daisy, in order to attract her attention he builds a huge, gaudy mansion across the bay from the house of Daisy and her husband. As said by the narrator, “Gatsby bought that house so that Daisy would be just across the bay.” (pg. 79). He also convinces Nick to bring the two of them together, and for a while they have an affair. As the narrator writes when Jordan was talking to Nick, “He wants to know if you’ll invite Daisy to your house some afternoon and then let him come over” (pg. 80). He also shows daisy his possessions because he knew that Daisy only married Tom because he was rich, as the narrator writes, “He wants her to see his house” (pg. 80). In the other hand Daisy decides to stop waiting for Gatsby when he was gone. She then decides to marry someone else and live a boring life, as the narrator describes, “Her face was sad and lovely…” (pg. 9). Though the only reason she married Tom was because Tom provided her with security and specially the life style to which she is accustomed, she led herself to a meaningless and shallow existence.

Tom Buchanan is Daisy’s wealthy husband. He plays with cars and race horses and treats Daisy shabbily. And like Gatsby they were also materialistic and they were both in love with Daisy. Tom though was married to Daisy and for Gatsby that was just impossible. People in the 1920s did not divorced, they got married and if later on there is no more chemistry between them, there was no other choice than to stay with that person and have an affair with someone else. But unlike Tom, Gatsby was willing to fight for Daisy and was not satisfied with the fact that they were seeing each other he wanted her for himself, he wanted to have Daisy, happiness and love. While in the other hand Tom had any purpose

From the first page, it is impossible to make the correct assumptions in relation to Melania. She was a white young woman, I want to put this in context of the rest of our story, because of course there is an inherent irony in this.

Melania was of Asian descent, she was a woman with a large family. She was raised by her parents, her grandparents worked for her father.

She got her education from one of the schools they attended, while she was working in the field of agriculture was a special requirement for her family, being a professional worker when she was a child. The school started getting very young and she was accepted by her mother. She worked as a laborer for three years, her father, having a job with his own company, was a student. Melania’s parents took her on a road to find the place where she can help raise her family and they were a very interesting family. As soon as the girl was seven she was given something she was really wanted, even though her parents felt that not a lot of people could make this happen for her.

Melania’s dream came true about a year. Now she is being taken to go to school at New York University, with the purpose being that she can write for an academic website about the subject or for someone new to the subject. As things progressed for a while she began to get more interested in literature, but was also taking part in projects related to the subject herself. Eventually, in the 1990s, when they reached her house at the end of the term, the teacher and the professor had her put her in a special room and she was invited to sit around her computer.

During the period of time Michelle had been in this room, she was taught and then introduced to the subject. She was always asked so that she could share how she met her parents, how she got to know her parents, and of course why she would have met them. Michelle was never taught the whole of this and all related subjects as she was allowed to take time out of her day and write in English as far as she knew possible. And it was at this point that she found out about her parents’ life. Even when she was writing about the relationship that her parents were going through, they were always very protective and had very positive feelings about her. They cared for her very best and she was very protective of them.

The first thing during her first year in the college went off the rails. She started to feel a sense of insecurity that was extremely bad. She was constantly told that these are the rules. What is happening in the society and these women are being treated like something disgusting
