Corona-cation ≧◠‿◠≦ (lol no)

19 March 2020 : Decided to paint a simple background of catus and a slight sunset. A fun fact about me is I lived in Yuma, Arizona for 2 years :), my dad was stationed here for the US Marine Corps.

Cue Theme Music

Central themes represented from Gatsby are :

  • Domination
  • Honesty 
  • Trust
  • Obtaining the American Dream
  • Love makes us do anything to obtain it 
  • Loyalty
  • Wealth
I believe Gatsby was a variety of these themes. An example of love, Gatsby really went far with trying to obtain the love he had with Daisy. He tried bringing the past to relive the moment he had with her. Domination was between Tom towards Daisy. Or basically in this story, they still lived the fact the woman had no say in anything and was just an object. Trust can was shown when Nick didn’t tell Tom about Daisy and Gatsby. Loyalty towards his cousin.

TGG CH.9

  • Gatsby is dead. 
  • No one showed up to Gatsby’s Funeral. 
  • Nick is at the funeral and starts reflecting on his life. Where he’s been and where and how he got to where he is now. 
  • Gatsby meeting Daisy was like finding America. 
  • American Dream right in front of you. 
  • The more we want to change the past or present. It’s bette off to go with the current.
