For The Love Of Money
by O'Jays

The reason i picked this song is because its the one and only american dream, to be rich. In the Novel of The Great Gatsby everyone wants to be or already is rich. The prime examples are Gatsby and Tom. They are rich , surrounded by nothing but wealth. They both have extravigant mansions. They love to show it off to. And an example of people tring to reach the high-life would be Myrtle and Meyer Wolfshiem. Myrtle lives in the vally of ashes which is a subburm to New York City. Meyer is just a city slicker all he wants and desires is money. He supposedly fixed the 1919 world series and is now on the run. He's your average old school mobster tring to make a quick buck to stay afloat. Thats all every character in this love drunk novel wants. Everyone but Nick, nick sits comfortably. He doesnt have money to the point that he sits bored and runs around his house at 2am. But he doesnt have so little money that he needs to work and make more money to pay his bills and feed him self. He doesnt showboat like everyone else eiher. All the rich are the showboating type. Tom physically throws nick around like a rag doll to show off his house and is all about "aha i have more money then you pal!" It just seemed like the best song for this Novel over all.

The main theme in Chapter one is The American Dream. In our society the american dream is to achieve wealth, own a home, and to become sucessful. In the novel The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitgerald the main character Nick tries to achieve the american dream. He does this by haveing and education, moving to New York and becomeing a bonds man.

Nick had the opertunity to better himself in life by going to college at Yale University and serving in the military. Nick grew up in the mid-west and there is not much out there He decided to move to New York where there was more people and plenty of more job options. With the bigger population and almost endless job options there was a bigger shot at either reaching your dream or possibly coming close to it. New York is alot different than the west. Its different by the fact that in NY its busier, richer, and more talked about. Finaly Nick deciding to become a bomds man put him one step closer to reaching his dream. His family wanted him to be a be a bonds man and he thought he could make some real money by becoming one. Nick in his on mind achieved his dream. He only got there by having self set goals and working hard to reach those goals. It was the dream of money and possible riches that pushed him to rieach what Nick finally got a slice of the cake of.

The Great Gatsby

I know its in revverse from the book but it was the best female and male fight i could find. The image is supposed to symbolize when Tom Beats Myrtle. Starts put just like the book though it was love and passion at first but then fighting. What went from a good time turns out badley when Mytle brought up Dasiy's name. You see Myrtle pulled her chair close to Nick. She started on how she and Tom met and then she said something about his wife Dasiy and he wouldn't have it. They went into the kitchen and they talked impassionately. Tom said " You are never to say that name." and Myrtle replied with " Dasiy Dasiy Dasiy I'll say that name when ever I want Daisy Da..". Right then and there Tom went mad and brike her nose. This could have been avoided but Myrtle had to bring Dasiy in to it. Its like her mood changed when she changed clothes earlier that day. She became very beligerent and you could see and hear it when she spoke to everyone. This might have also been brought on by the drinking we did earlier that day. The fight itself was around ten o' clock when Nick checked his watch when he thought it was nine o' clock .

In the novle The Great Gatsby two important characters are Tom & Dasiy. Tom & Dasiy are married to each other and they live on East Egg. Even though they are married they are not happy. As it is Tom is having an affair with another woman. The other woman is Myrtle. Myrtle is married too. She is married to Wison but she hates him. Myrtle and Dasiy are very different in theses ways.

Dasiy is very beautiful. She also very in shape & very skinny. Dasiy is a fun, outgoing, & happy person who is very socianle & likes tohave a good time. When growing up she met a man who she fel in love with whom is Gatsby. But saddly she ended up with Tom who she regrets marrying. Dasiy knows that Tom is cheating on her but it doesn't seem to bother her. Another thing about Dasiy is that she is a good person in the sense that she is not greedy & apriciates what she has in life.

Myrtle on the otherhand is the complete opposite. Myrtle is short & stout. She ischeating on her husband, unlike Tom and Dasiy's relationship where Tom is the one cheating. Myrtle can be very sneeky when it comes to cheating. Another bad quality that Myrtle has is that she also likes to be spoiled by Tom, who will buy her anything she wants. The only reason Myrtle married her husband is because she thought he was something. But since she found out that he rented his tux for thier wedding she has resented him. Thus, Dasiy and Myrtle are different in these ways.
