I think that as of right now at the end of chapter 5, we are reaching the climax of the story. In my opinion no major conflicts or events have occurred to change the course of the story. The conflicts currently among the characters, specifically the secrets between Daisy and Tom have still not been resolved. I think that Daisy and Tom will find out about each others secret love affair and there will be tension causing them to separate. I believe that this will be the climax of the story and it will be instigated by Gatsby. In a perfect story I envision Daisy getting together with Gatsby and Tom moving away to be with Mrs. Wilson. I feel that Gatsby will develop more as a character to become more open and honest with Nick and Daisy. I feel that there is much truth to be told from Gatsby's past which will describe how he became the man his is today. Another character that I think will develop more is Daisy. She is very polite and keeps her mouth shut, even if she is hiding a dark truth. I see Daisy gaining more confidence within herself to be able to stand up to Tom and tell him the truth about her love for Gatsby. As of right now the most prevalent themes revolve around money, class and love. I think that love will be further developed along with the characters showing that honesty is the key to love. Not only love within relationships but the love one has for their life and themselves.

Theme: Class divides society and shapes the interactions between people
DIVIDE US, UNITED US by Gary R. HessThey want to divide us. They want us to see color, to see religion, to see ethnicity, and see gender, to anger us and separate us so we don’t see the truth of what really divides us: money. You can sit there and think about all the crimes that are meant for us. Now think of their penalty. Now think about all the crimes meant for the rich. What’s their penalty? As you sit back and think of a reason why please keep in mind we all have to lose and what they have lost and tell me how this can be. When one of us lives and dies it might make a line in the paper. When they live and die, books for generations are written of their “excellence” and their “prosperity.” But…we… No, we are not meant for this world. We are not meant for this Earth, and if we try they push us back, and if… and if we succeed we become them or else we fall back. This world is not meant for the poor and not meant for the moral. It’s meant for animals. This class war– yes this class war has been going on for decades or more and we are losing. And losing hard because they divide us. We see Republican and Democrat, and we see black or white, gay or straight, instead of seeing what combines us: our struggle. To get through this struggle we must unite and find a way to win this fight and beat this life to bring us back to crack this… War. |
