        <description><![CDATA[In The Great Gatsby, Jay Gatsby doesn't really have friends; he has acquaintances who like to take advantage of his lavish hospitality, though there are a few odd characters who seem to sincerely like him for himself. Gatsby knows Jordan Baker as an acquaintance whom he includes in hospitality and gala affairs.Gatsby has no illusions about the hundreds of people he surrounds himself with, knowing that rumors about his past mar the general...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Gatsby, though the host of the grand party, does not mingle with his guests.  In fact, his guests don't even know him.  They're strangers: they circulate all kinds of rumors about him.
Owl Eyes, who has been drunk for a week, is impressed that Gatsby's books are not cardboard.  But, we do learn that the pages of all the books have not been cut (which is to say they they've never been opened or read; they are indeed ornamental).  If fact,...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The answer seems easy enough, but it's tricky.
You can make a case that all of the characters, except George Wilson, achieve the American Dream if you define the dream as a socio-economic one.  Tom and Daisy certainly have a nice house and cars; they don't even need jobs.  But are they happy?  I doubt it.
Myrtle Wilson achieves the dream.  She jumps socio-economic classes, going from the Valley of Ashes to an apartment in New York City....]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Fitzgerald, ironically, wrote the Great American Novel while living in America and France, 1923-24, as a patriot and an ex-patriot.
Nick narrates the novel from back home in the Midwest.  In his flashback, he tells of four locations: New York City, East Egg, West Egg, and the Valley of Ashes.  The last three are situated near the Long Island Sound.
To the characters in the novel, New York is the center of the universe.  Fitzgerald uses this...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I heard he killed a guy.
I heard he's a German spy.
No, he's not.  He's a relative of the Kaiser.
Everyone knows he's a bootlegger.
He's an Oggsford man.
He's a great war hero.

Land of the brave.

        <description><![CDATA[Chapter 5 is the middle chapter, the turning point, of the 9 chapter novel. In it, Gatsby has finally reunited with Daisy after five long years of preparation.
The dominant imagery in the chapter deals with time.  Gatsby stands near the clock on Nick's mantle as he speaks to Daisy. At one point, the clock tumbles to the floor, but Gatsby rescues it. The clock is a symbol of Gatsby's attempt to stop time and return to he and Daisy's original...]]></description>
