What is begins in the present and goes back to the past and back to the present
Specifically, what how did the party guests at Gatsby's parties act like?
What is they behave like drunken fools who follow the rules of amusement parks.
From where does Fitzgerald write The Great Gatsby? Why?
He wrote Gatsby from Europe because he had to get away from the party.
“All right...I’m glad it’s a girl...And I hope she’ll be a fool – that’s the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool.”
Who is Daisy?
“She was a slender, small-breasted girl, with an erect carriage, which she accentuated by throwing her body backward at the shoulders like a young cadet.”
Who is Jordan Baker
What is
New York City --> The Valley of Ashes --> West Egg --> East Egg
