LIT ANALYSIS #3

Great Gatsby

I have chosen The Great Gatsby as my last lit analysis because it is my favorite classic literature novel.


#1. This novel revolves around the life of the mysterious and extravagant life of Jay Gatsby. The novel is written about him by his neighbor and only true friend Nick who is also Jay's longtime love Daisy Buchanan's cousin. The novel conveys the life of Jay and and the forbidden love of Jay and Daisy.

#2. This novel is placed during the Great Depression so it has an underlying theme of westward expansion but the main theme is that money cannot buy happiness. Jay Gatsby came from a poor family and acquired great wealth but it still did not fulfill his life. He did not end up with Daisy, he ended up getting killed and the only person that was by his side was Nick.

#3. The authors tone is one of curiosity. He does is not very opinionated he is just descriptive. 

#4. 
1--Characterization - Jay Gatsby: young money mysterious play boy .
2--Characterization - Nick: narrator of novel,  Jay Gatsby's neighbor and friend, and Daisy's cousin.
3--Characterization- Daisy: the love of Jay's life but they cannot be together because she is married to Tom. 
4--Setting- West Egg and East Egg
5--Protagonist- Jay Gatsby
6--Antagonist- Tom , Daisy's husband.
7--Climax- Gatsby tells Tom that Daisy never loved him.
8--Simile- "Went like moths among the whispering and the champagne and the stars."
9--Symbolism- East Egg wealth: West Egg  morality.
10-- Mood- mood of book goes from happy to somber.

ESSAY MARCH 17 - 1979 PROMPT

 The Joker from Batman

          There is no other "villain" like the joker. Yes, there are villains but none to who are as disturbed as the joker. The joker is represented many different ways in the many book/movie adaptations of the Batman series. One of the most famous portrayals is by the late Heath Leger in the movie The Dark Knight. He is always involved in violence and crimes. 
          The main story line of the Batman serious is the constant battle between Batman and the Joker, Batman representing "good" and The Joker representing "evil" drawing a parallel the the epic story line of good verses evil.
          The Joker's has many contradicting characteristics but his main and constant present characteristic is pure evil. He is considered a lunatic with many psychiatric  but he is really actually very intelligent he just uses his intelligence for pure evil. He is a criminal genius who plans and executes very elaborate plans that take intelligence to plan. This leads to the stories main story line of Batman saving the innocent in The Jokers evil executions.
