Film Review

1)The messsage of the book and the move-
Wealth does not equal happiness, money doesn't buy true love, love can blind you, Old money looks down on new money, People are selfish

2) Fitzgerald use of color-
specific character, helps to remember character, imagery, descriptive words, Nick as narrator is judgmental, symbols- the green light, Dr. T.J, Ekleburg, valley of ashes, cars bad driving= careless people.

3) Techniques used-
zoom in, close-ups, long shots, close-ups of background, rapid transitions eyes of T.J ro car, music, dead bird, shouting, blue died, Argument @ the restaurant, Daisy crazy, Tom excellent. Myrtle dramatic punching window.

comparison of the fimail characters

The female characters in the move are presented differently from that of the book. Fitzgerald used the characters to support the story and also to show each of their role in the main point of the book. One of the main female characters of the book, Daisy symbolised how the wealthy women of the 1920s live and their involvement in society. Daisy in book was materialistic, beautiful, very lazy and even though she may sound stupid she actually was very smart about her life. In the move Daisy was a very shallow character she sounded really dome. Myrtle in the book didn't rally have much of importance, she was just a supporting character to show Tom's behavior but in the move she was very dramatic and her importance in the story was very intense, like her cause of the death of two mean. Jordan both in the book and in the move was just there to support some of the ideas of the book To give information to Nick and to complex Nick's character in the move. She did not change as the storey goes on even though her character was similar to that of most of the wealthy women of her time she was presented as a smart and independent women. Overall The female characters of the move shoed the role of women in those times and how mean treat them.

F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald was a writer how was influenced by his ....

" dreams of becoming rich and famous, succeeds, and is then destroyed by his dream; who realizes his gifts early and burns out early."
* Because of his intust of being in the upper class, most of the storys of his book, The Great Gatsbay was about people in the first class with diffrent businsess.


"In 1935 Tender Is the Night, a novel that many admirers of Fitzgerald’s work regard as his finest novel, was published; it sold few copies. To earn money he went to Hollywood, where he was treated as a dim figure from the past and given hack writing jobs. He has described his state of mind during these years in several disturbing, memorable essays."

"Fitzgerald suffered a nervous breakdown, and from then on she spent most of her time in sanitariums. Fitzgerald was obliged to find money to pay her bills; in addition, he had run up considerable debts"


* He was involved in Hollywood, and this book he had discribed his atate of mind after his fife's death

Reflections of American Culture

Looking back at the books we have read it says a lot about American culture and what it means to be an American. The chalenges and coflicta that we face as Amricans is learnig to ;ive with each other in a moral way. In the Bean Tees, the main chraceter Taylor was helping two eligal immgrants to find their way in a safe place to live. This shows the lives of many Americans today.

Personal Ad Reflection

I think that in 3rd per, Antu's group did a good job because it looked so real and they did a good on presenting Pruffrock as a formal and interesting kind of person.

J. Alfred Prufrocks at Gunderson

YES there are students like J. Alfred Prufrocks at Gunderson kids that find it hard to associate with other students, people that are more independent and sometimes narrow minded. I think I can be like that sometimes not just to the opposite sex but to people in general. I think it is because I try to look too much into the reasoning behind having to get to know people. I don't like that about myself I should want to know and care for people because it is the right think to do not because I will get something out of it.

Debate Information and Reflection on Homework

After WW1 America was too involved and not only that but was declining in it's economy. The US is expanding its troops and using technology to kill people. Imperialism also begin spreading in the minds of the leaders this was because the need for resources and new market was growing during the war. Any how, the country was in a time of materialism and consumerism that made the real value of the people the country was gone.

Progress, Technology and Science

The way I see it human bins are layers when we first didn't have predictions we based everything on something we can to define a limit to our understanding we answer everything in God's terms. And after that we used our resources to progress and research to understand our surrounding. I think that technology and science is gust a phase especially if we continue in what we are doing. Through came to a conclusion because he has looked around him and nor just at him self. If we all Humans start to look around and not force so much on our need and see some one ells we might be able to gar our of this circle.
