All of the characters are divided by their class, therefore alienating them, yet the characters also alienate themselves through the pursuit of wealth or love. The alienation characters face also leads into how they form bonds with each other, like the case and Nick and Gatsby.]]> 2021-02-03 17:40:41 UTC https://padlet.com/seodell/pgeju4bqjoek/wish/1160064648 https://padlet.com/seodell/pgeju4bqjoek/wish/1160075664 My favorite theme would be friendship, because the friendship between Nick and Gatsby shows that friendships can only grow.]]> 2021-02-03 17:42:35 UTC https://padlet.com/seodell/pgeju4bqjoek/wish/1160075664 https://padlet.com/seodell/pgeju4bqjoek/wish/1160100237 I'd argue the most relevant theme from the Great Gatsby is identity. Though the other themes present in the novel are still very present today, identity is something all people experience, albeit in various different ways. Gatsby masks his former self, yet remains a very elusive character. I think this reflects how people in positions of power present themselves vastly different than how once were or currently are.]]> 2021-02-03 17:46:47 UTC https://padlet.com/seodell/pgeju4bqjoek/wish/1160100237 https://padlet.com/seodell/pgeju4bqjoek/wish/1160123466 I believe Fitzgerald would think identity is the most important theme because I'd think as a famous writer, he could relate to the idea of concealing the self.]]> 2021-02-03 17:50:50 UTC https://padlet.com/seodell/pgeju4bqjoek/wish/1160123466 https://padlet.com/seodell/pgeju4bqjoek/wish/1161237942 My favorite theme would be identity because I feel that Gatsby doesn't necessarily know himself and just knows what he wants out of life. ]]> 2021-02-03 22:11:08 UTC https://padlet.com/seodell/pgeju4bqjoek/wish/1161237942 https://padlet.com/seodell/pgeju4bqjoek/wish/1161240389 The most relevant theme from the Great Gatsby is identity because it is something people still struggle with today. It is hard for people to realize who they are and how they identify themselves. ]]> 2021-02-03 22:12:11 UTC https://padlet.com/seodell/pgeju4bqjoek/wish/1161240389 https://padlet.com/seodell/pgeju4bqjoek/wish/1161243517 I think Fitzgerald would argue that identity is the most important because it is something that Gatsby struggled with. Throughout the book he focused on his dream and like Nick said "paid a high price for living too long with a single dream". He was more into getting Daisy and finding her instead of getting to know himself. ]]> 2021-02-03 22:13:30 UTC https://padlet.com/seodell/pgeju4bqjoek/wish/1161243517 https://padlet.com/seodell/pgeju4bqjoek/wish/1171803499 My favorite theme is identity because I feel like it is something everyone can relate to in some way.  Fitzgerald does a beautiful job writing about Gatsby's identity. ]]> 2021-02-06 17:55:00 UTC https://padlet.com/seodell/pgeju4bqjoek/wish/1171803499 https://padlet.com/seodell/pgeju4bqjoek/wish/1178961769 My favorite theme from The Great Gatsby is the one about identity. The novel starts off by talking about morals and core values. The narrator having been taught those things when he was very young. Then the reader gets introduced to characters who show an obvious disconnect or difference in those same morals. ]]> 2021-02-08 19:28:13 UTC https://padlet.com/seodell/pgeju4bqjoek/wish/1178961769 https://padlet.com/seodell/pgeju4bqjoek/wish/1178978054 I think all these themes are relevant today but identity would probably be the most relevant. This is because everyones identity is the core of their being. It determines who you are and what you want to be. It also determines what you want to be known for and see as. ]]> 2021-02-08 19:31:21 UTC https://padlet.com/seodell/pgeju4bqjoek/wish/1178978054 https://padlet.com/seodell/pgeju4bqjoek/wish/1178992289 I fully agree with the comments above. Identity is so important and Fitzgerald starts the novel talking about Nicks identity. He also brings other peoples true identities up in an attempt to justify their actions throughout the novel.]]> 2021-02-08 19:34:05 UTC https://padlet.com/seodell/pgeju4bqjoek/wish/1178992289 https://padlet.com/seodell/pgeju4bqjoek/wish/1185685522 I would say identity because everyone identifies with themselves and who they want to be in life.]]> 2021-02-10 05:30:18 UTC https://padlet.com/seodell/pgeju4bqjoek/wish/1185685522
