Fitzgerald Exit Ticket Reflection

    Fitzgerald represents the story with many subliminal humourous messages such as making fun of religion, youth, and riches. For instance, the village of fish are represented by 12 men called the 12 men of Fish. These people are a cult and do not believe in religion. Supposedly they are a opposite of what religion is because of their beliefs. A relation could be the Ku Klux Klan because they are claimed to be christian yet discriminate peoples skin colour, etc. Youth is made of a joke in the story because Percy, a rich adolescent boy has the behaviour of a ten year old. I say that because of how much he has too brag about and the author makes him sound like a snobby boy. Riches is also made fun of because of he assumes his dad is the most richest boy, and how he exaggerates on how big his diamonds are.

Great Gatsby Reflection

    The movie was pretty good. I think that daisy was a tramp-ish type of person because of the way she played Gatsby wrong. Of course Gatsby did her wrong also by finessing the plug on her so early and dipping and leaving her for a couple of years. But her morals were as low as the core of the earth. She had no feelings whatsoever on Gatsby after his death. Also the movie had many symbols such as ecklebergs eyes, riches, etc. It had a very twisted ending.

American Dream

    The american dream was a idea based on the 1920s. Many people describe it as being rich, educated, partying all day, etc. Many people have their different point of views on what is considered  a american dream. My opinion on it is that it is supposed to be concerned on education and making cash. Which is what exactly was shown on the Great Gatsby. Both Nick and Gatsby had attended some sort of school and gatsby had riches. Obviously Nick didn't have the great riches that Gatsby did but this shows that they lived that dream.

1920's Story

   In the 1920's, all I see is the caucasians people heart, emotion, laughs filled with joy in the cities of the power state of New York, the city that literally never sleeps because of how tightly packed and filled the city is. In my vision, as the caucasian people laugh I just see their quintessential grandeur, they were like the moguls to the state of New York considering there was more of them than blacks, hispanics, asians, etc. I see occasional black people but they weren't as symbolic or popular to the state of new york like the caucasian people. Unlike the people who always had their fancy suits and ties. White people were the significant people of the 1920's . ( No racism intended )
