In PRELIM 1 I chose to focus on the characteristics of the main characters in the novel. As someone who loves theatre, I believe that the characters in a story are what make the story. Therefore, the better I understand the characters in The Great Gatsby then the better I understand the novel as a… Continue reading PRELIM 1: Key Term Catalog + Word Cloud Debrief

For as long as I can remember, I have always been very fascinated by how the human brain works.  Why do we think the thoughts we do?  What causes people to feel a certain way towards another person?  For the Unit 3 research paper I would like to focus on Gatsby’s love and/or obsession for… Continue reading PRELIM 6 Debrief

For my final project I chose consumerism as my 21st Century Great Gatsby since hunger for consumerism has been a continuity in American society since the 1920s. My project included a collage of 21st century consumer goods that are relatable to college students. The background of the collage is a hypnotic spiral because people feel… Continue reading Final Project Debrief

During Thanksgiving Break, I rewatched the 2013 Baz Luhrmann film adaptation of The Great Gatsby. I definitely prefer it to the 1974 version because I think Leonardo DiCaprio is the perfect man to play the role of Gatsby. The way he holds himself is very original and unique, which is perfect for playing a role… Continue reading 2013 Film Debreif

On Thursday night I watched the 1974 film adaptation of The Great Gatsby for the first time. Honestly, I was not sure how I was going to like it because I have seen the 2013 adaptation and I love that version, so I was unsure what I would think of something new. I am also… Continue reading 1974 Film Debrief

Even though I already gave Daisy’s character a debrief, I feel that it is necessary to give her another one because yesterday when I was working on my unit 2 essay I came across a new comparison for her that I have never thought of.   In one of the secondary resources Glenn Settle compares… Continue reading Daisy Debrief (Again)

Debrief of Myself When analyzing pieces of literary work and even film, certain pieces of art tend to be more popular because of the relatable qualities of characters. Many people, myself included, take things very personally. When I read a novel, listen to a song, or even watch a TV show or movie I always… Continue reading Who Am I?

 Even though Myrtle Wilson does not make nearly as many appearances in The Great Gatsby as main characters such as Gatsby himself, Nick, and Daisy she still plays a vital role in the plot of the novel. Without Myrtle, the fate of Gatsby would have been entirely different. If Myrtle’s character did not exist in… Continue reading Myrtle Debrief

Tom Buchanan is easily one of the most unlikeable characters in The Great Gatsby due to his toxic masculinity and unattractive arrogance. Tom’s primary purpose in The Great Gatsby is to serve as Gatsby’s foil and the novel’s antagonist. Gatsby’s primary objective for the novel is to be with Daisy. As Daisy’s husband, Tom is… Continue reading Tom Debrief
