Some feelings After Reading The Great Gatsby
Freshman roommates have this book, then swallowed, and did not read it, until tonight. Just read this book is not very thick, but did not put a period, because it will affect me for a long time... This book is about the rapid prosperity of the American economy after the first world war, and the "jazz age" of America 20 years before the great economic crisis. In such impetuous, noisy, profit-seeking age, some people keep the heart clear, some people intoxicated in the lights. This book is a reflection of that special era (the era of rapid development of the car, the phone, the inner luxury of the characters, the spirit of money worship), but also through the wishful love story of each of the main characters vividly portrayed.
Only after reading this book completely did I find that it is appropriate to use the three words "great" to describe gatsby. Maybe he did not make great contributions to the country and the society, but from his final choice, his dedication to love. He deserves those three words. In the book, the green light on the dock seemed to be an incarnation of Daisy. When gatsby was penniless, he saw that the green light on the dock was so remote and ethereal, just like Daisy. Finally, gatsby's death sublimated his love for Daisy. At this time, the green light also sublimated a higher realm. Is a kind of no regrets, a free and easy. Gatsby seems to have lived all his life for Daisy, just as the article said
"I was surprised that his request was so simple. He had waited five years to buy the mansion and give away the starlight to the moths who wanted to come and go -- all the trouble he had taken just to be able to "sit" in a stranger's house one afternoon.
Just to sit with her in a "strange" house, to look at her, to care about her, maybe that was enough for him. However, he is poor, he still believe for many years that dixi is as persistent as he loves her. It is a pity that Daisy lives in a snobbish world of dissipation and dissipation. In this world, singing and dancing all the time, all the time. Saxophones played the sobbing "beer street blues" through the night, and hundreds of gold and silver dancing shoes kicked up shiny dust. Daisy had already changed, so in the final showdown, he will be so hysterical
Your wife doesn't love you, 'said gatsby.' she never did. She loves me.
She never loved you, did you hear? 'he shouted.' she only wanted to marry you because I was poor and she didn't want to wait for me. It was a terrible mistake, but in her heart, she never loved anyone, she only loved me!
Just because I like you, so I am willing to give everything for you, including life.
"The Dixie people."
I think Dixie is just a representative of that society, and also a representative of our society. Living in such a fast time, too late to hear their own heartbeat, eyes are high-rise buildings, neon flashing; Full of orchestra, how can you remember that you once had a first love? How can you remember anything but money and status? Therefore, when Daisy shirked her responsibility, it also represented that her heart was completely corrupted. Know her husband derailed, but still "calmly", maintain the "life of stagnant water" a calm. In the face of their inner feelings but evasive, for fear of losing the status of money. She is not an individual, but a group, a symbol. Compared with Mrs. Wilson in the book, Daisy goes even further. Mrs. Wilson is not satisfied with the plain and poor life of repairing cars. With Tom affair, in front of Tom is to spoil and arrogant, look down upon others, seem to forget their true identity. Think oneself put on crystal shoe to be Snow White. Although the book describes the "jazz age" in America, it is not in harmony with our current life. In such an era, how should we calm down and listen to our inner voice?
