张家轩

Before reading The Great Gatsby,I am curious about the title and the content.Why the Gatsby is great and why it is well-known?But after reading the book,I still not understand clearly.Until I think over it and talk with my classmate,I find my answer.

  The reason why Gatsby is great is that he still insisted on his dream all the time though he lived in a materialistic society and he still choice to protect Daisy at last and sacrifice his reality for his dream.And reason why the book is so famous is that it reflects American society in the 1920s.After World War I,the economy of America developed rapidly and the material was abundant.However,there are also appear something bad,such as moral degeneration,be barren spiritually and money worship.People in that time think that money is everything and imagine to become a millionaire.

  After reading The Great Gatsby,I think the most impressive plot is that Gatsby took out a pile of shirts and began throwing them,one by one,before Daisy,shirts of sheer linen and thick silk and fine flannel,which lost their folds as they fell and covered the table in many-coloured disarray.While we admired he brought more and the soft rich heap mounted higher-shirts with stripe and scrolls and plaids in coral and apple-green and lavender and faint orange,with monograms of Indian blue.Suddenly,with a strained sound,Daisy bent her head into the shirts and began to cry stormily.And Daisy sobbed and said that she’ve never seen such beautiful shirts before.When I saw this,I made a picture in my mind and think it was really funny.And I think the writer’s style of writing is pretty good.

  Another description is also brilliant.The book write that ‘As I went over to say goodbye I saw that the expression of bewilderment had come back into Gatsby’s face,as though a faint doubt had occurred to him as to the quality of his present happiness.Almost five years!There must have been moments even that afternoon when Daisy tumbled short of his dreams-not through her own fault,but because of the colossal vitality of his illusion.It had gone beyond her,beyond everything.He had thrown himself into it with a creative passion,adding to it all the time,decking it out with every bright feather that drifted his way.No amount of fire or freshness can challenge what a man can store up in his ghostly heart.’I think these sentences is visual and the situation can be found in our daily life.We sometimes feel a little bit disappointed when we arrive at the place where we want to go,just like Gatsby.But we should not forget the beautiful scenery we enjoy when we are going to the destination.The most important thing may not the result but the process.  

  After mentioning the plot,I want to talk something about the sentences.When I turn to page 1 and read it,I was impressed by the sentences that ‘Whenever you feel like criticising anyone,just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had.In consequence,I’m inclined to reserve all judgements.’The sentences remind me of one of my teacher who ever said she never judge people.I really think it’s a good virtue but it is also difficult to achieve.But I think we should judge people after knowing about them well as far as possible.

  This is my feelings after reading The Great Gatsby.Though the thought is not deep,I am delighted to share it and I think The Great Gatsby is a really good book and desire our to read it aboratively.
