Eulogy

25ztompkins — 2024-03-11 15:45:51 UTC

Jay Gatsby was a man of kindness. He may have done some sinful things in his life, but they were outweighed by the goodness in his heart. Jay kept his friend circle small, as demonstrated by the people here today. Jay wanted the most sincere and wanted the people with the best hearts. Jay wanted this because he was like this too. Jay put his life on the line in the war, to serve this country and to preserve our freedom. His one and only love who I will not disclose her name today is not here today, but he loved her with all of his heart, and wanted nothing but the best for her. As Jay lies, he was loved by most, although that might not be demonstrated by her today, most loved him, and he loved back.

A eulogy is usually a speech that is highlighting good characteristics of someone's character. I highlighted multiple things in Gatsby's life that is told in the story including that he has served in World War 1, "I accepted a commission as first lieutenant when it began. In the Argonne Forest I took the remains of my machine-gun battalion so far forward that there was a half mile gap on either side of us where the infantry couldn't advance." (Fitzgerald 43). A eulogy would talk about certain things like this to highlight the good things in peoples life's, including things that they've done, things that they haven't done and more.

These song lyrics connect to Gatsby and Daisy. I picked these song lyrics because Gatsby has always loved but Daisy has moved on from Gatsby, "That force took shape in the middle of spring with the arrival of Tom Buchanan. There was a wholesome bulkiness about his person and his position, and Daisy was flattered" (Fitzgerald 93). Gatsby got this letter when he was at Oxford which tells him that Daisy has gotten married, and that she has moved on. While Gatsby still loves her.

This quote demonstrates what Gatsby is feeling, and how he is never truly ready to release his feelings. This applies to most guys because, based on evidence most guys bottle up their feelings and don't talk about them and how no matter what happens, that it will always stay inside. This is mentioned in chapter 5 because this is when Gatsby gets reunited with Daisy. Since he has fantasized so much about her, he has built a fantasy of her where she is so perfect in a way that she can't have any flaws and that we can't tell if he loves the real Daisy or the Daisy that he has made up.

Daisy is not wanted by anyone for the murder of Myrtle, although she was the main person that murdered Myrtle. She was the one driving Gatsby's car when they ran over Myrtle who ran into the middle of the street, " 'Well, I tried to swing the wheel-' He broke off, and suddenly I guessed at the truth.

'Was Daisy driving?'

'Yes,' he said after a moment" (Fitzgerald 89). Gatsby admitted here that it was Daisy that killed Myrtle because that she was driving Gatsby's car when they were a little drunk because all of them had a little to drink. That is why Daisy is wanted here, but not in the book, because we know that Daisy was driving but no one else does.

Gatsby Party Invitation

I chose this type of party invitation because Gatsby loved to have really extravagant parties almost every weekend, "By seven o'clock the orchestra has arrived, no thin five-piece affair, but a whole pitiful of oboes and trombones and saxophones and viols and cornets and piccolos, and low and high drums." (Fitzgerald 28). I chose this quote because learning of the whole orchestra, it shows us just how extravagant and gorgeous that these parties are and how much time he spends into putting them together.

In this padlet, Jay Gatsby was focused on more to deep dive into what it was like to be a rich man in the 1920's and how when you throw parties everyone takes your kindness for granted. We as the readers can tell that Gatsby had a hard time living losing the love of his life to someone else, and how he almost had no company other than his servants and maids, and how he didn't really have any friends except for Nick.
