https://padlet.com/crooney20/m6gjqazfmndx A review by Cole Rooney en-us 2018-01-04 23:43:57 UTC 2023-10-14 12:41:08 UTC hello@padlet.com crooney20 https://padlet.com/crooney20/m6gjqazfmndx/wish/218869604 This story is about a man named Nick Carraway. He is a smart man who is wealthy and lives among many other arrogant rich people in West Egg. Nick was raised to always be considerate of other people's situations so he naturally is different from every other person on West Egg. Also, most other people on West Egg are newly rich people that don't really know how to manage their money. Nick on the other hand went to Yale and knows different people from East Egg which is the more sophisticated side of his area. While living in West Egg, Nick encounters conflicts between other characters. One of the main conflicts is between NIck's cousin Daisy, her lover Tom, and Nick's new neighbor Gatsby. Daisy catches Tom cheating which encourages her to have an affair with Gatsby.]]> 2018-01-04 23:50:18 UTC https://padlet.com/crooney20/m6gjqazfmndx/wish/218869604 crooney20 https://padlet.com/crooney20/m6gjqazfmndx/wish/219052739 One of the things that I like most about the book is the beginning. The story begins with a quote that can be very powerful for some people including me. The quote states "Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone, just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had" This quote is something I try to use whenever I want to judge someone. Some intersting parts of the book are the fact that there was no one that came to Gatsby's funeral even though they always came to his parties.]]> 2018-01-06 00:00:40 UTC https://padlet.com/crooney20/m6gjqazfmndx/wish/219052739 crooney20 https://padlet.com/crooney20/m6gjqazfmndx/wish/219053411 I think that the girl in this cover might represent the character in the book Daisy who is Nick's cousin and also the girl that Gatsby and Tom fight over.]]> 2018-01-06 00:27:20 UTC https://padlet.com/crooney20/m6gjqazfmndx/wish/219053411 crooney20 https://padlet.com/crooney20/m6gjqazfmndx/wish/220007470 "Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone, just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had" (Pg. 1)
This is a very meaningful quote that can actually be used in real life.
"I hope she'll be a fool -- that's the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool.” (Pg. 9)
This is interesting and almost funny that someone would hope for their new baby girl to grow up to be a fool.
“They’re a rotten crowd’, I shouted across the lawn. ‘You’re worth the whole damn bunch put together.” (Pg. 85)
This is interesting because it shows the complex vocabulary that this book has in it.]]> 2018-01-09 23:37:23 UTC https://padlet.com/crooney20/m6gjqazfmndx/wish/220007470 crooney20 https://padlet.com/crooney20/m6gjqazfmndx/wish/220024696 I think the story is very good for any teen to read. It can prove to be very interesting if you can get pass the highly advanced vocabulary. This would most likely entertain teens a lot because they tend to enjoy reading about love triangles. However, adults could get an equal amount of enjoyment out of this book.]]> 2018-01-10 02:36:24 UTC https://padlet.com/crooney20/m6gjqazfmndx/wish/220024696 crooney20 https://padlet.com/crooney20/m6gjqazfmndx/wish/220147958 The song I would choose for this book is "Scott and Ramona" by Lil Uzi Vert https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmeRP_siKv8 
This is a song about the rapper missing his lover but she has another man but he doesn't care. It includes lyrics such as "I can't go a day if I don't talk to my baby" "She say she single but she know she really taken, I don't care no!" This could relate to gatsby and how he loves Daisy even though she was with Tom.]]> 2018-01-10 13:40:34 UTC https://padlet.com/crooney20/m6gjqazfmndx/wish/220147958
