gatsby #2

The purpose of mayor wolfsheim is entirely to add to the mysterious nature of Mr. Gatsby. The mayor does this by diplaying to the audience that Gatsby has buisness connections that reach above even some of the upper class in this story and as an audience, up to this point we had been kept in the dark about this.

The history that Gatsby and Daisy shares gives us multiple insights. First it tells us that Tom was not neccesarily Daisy's first choice to marry, and she might be interested in someone else. Like perhaps Gatsby himself. Also, by giving us as an audience an isight to the past of Gatsby relieves some of the suspense and mystery that previously surrounded him.

The rest of the story also gives us insight on Gatsby. When gatsby is invited to join Nick and Daidy for tea his attitude swiftly changes into the demeanor of a child almost. He is rude and imatient with the others and it is honestly embarrassing for him. But, then he recollects his manners and makes up for his foolishness later on.

The overall story of the section is clearly Jay Gatsby, we learn intriguing insights into his previously mysterious life. Including his buisness ventures, which are still unclear, a history with Daisy, and multiple examples of mannerisms that we had yet to see from Gatsby.

Jimmy Roll Morton

I think that the music would add to Gatsbys parties by encouraging people to get up and dance and have fun. The mood to the music is very fun and exciting so it is easy to dance to. When I hear this song, the only activity I can envision gping with it is dancing.

Great Gatsby 1

In the introduction chapters to The Great Gatsby, it seems we meet four important characters. These characters are Nick, Tom, Daisy, and Gatsby. Nick is the narrator, and he is the good guy. He is a kind and intelligent hero who isn't perfect, but is classified as "a rose, an absolute rose” by Daisy (14). He does the right thing, and mentions he tries to reserve all judgement, and based on his actions, I believe Nick to be a hero.
Tom is a jerk. He is a retired star football player who has endless money and absolutely no moral values. Tom has a strong and cruel personality. He cheats on Daisy as if it were nothing, and acts as though he can do anything in the world because he is a former star. His actions and characterization leave the audience unimpressed and taken aback, so Tom is a villain.
We are not sure where Daisy fits into the story yet. She seems to have good intentions, and the audience is surely on her side when we find out she is being cheated on, but some of her actions and words are questionable. She tells Nick that she is If I had to classify her, she would fit mostly into the category of antihero.
Gatsby's role is foreshadowed greatly in this first section, making the audience believe he is a hero. He has a great deal of money, so much that he demands "five crates of oranges and lemons from a fruiterer in New York-every Monday these same oranges and lemons left his back door in a pyramid of pulpless halves" (39). Despite rumors that he could have killed a man, Gatsby is written as a man of integrity and honor, classifying him as a hero.

bua style

he uses organic shapes and lines to make the people cartoonish, but at the same time it is clear what the people are, people. In all of the paintings I saw, there was an influence of music on the subject matter of the painting. This is because bua painted what he knew, and he knows music.
