The Great Gatsby is a very intricate and detailed novel. The characters are quirky, and well to tell you the truth, none of them bare any resemblance to my life. The Traits in this novel however, is what truly resonates within my character.
It actually took my quite a few days to figure out what any of this assignment meant. Then I had a little epiphany. I am indecisive, I cannot decide for the life of me. Then I thought of Daisy. Oh, Dear, innocent Daisy. She is such a wish-washy person. She's a hopeless romantic, yet, she can't commit to one person or idea. "Oh, you want too much!" she cried to Gatsby. "I love you now – isn't that enough? I can’t help what’s past." She began to sob helplessly. "I did love him once – but I loved you too."
As I write this, I had noticed a moth in my room. I was quite panicked, so panicked, that I had to call my mom to get rid of it. As you can tell, I am still Dependant in some ways. I know it annoys my mother, but well, I find it annoying this way. What I just said may seem irrelevant, but it reminds me of another woman, Jordan Baker. See, Jordan is so Dependant on others ,at all times, that she fails to see that it can be a turn-off for others, such as Nick.
Now my most important aspect, that shows the most truth to my character, and a character by the name of Gatsby is considered being a dreamer. Living in a Fantasy land, where you wish you could have times back that have past. And hoping to rekindle them into the future is what I am best at. I remember in my younger days, in Germany. My family, and my life was completely reversed. I enjoyed that time, and some days I wish I could take it back. But Ultimately, sometimes the present is suppose to be difficult, because when the future comes and happens, you know it was all for a purpose. We noticeably can tell, that Gatsby never got that into his mind. He's a inevitable dreamer. He dreams as though he can't avoid it, that he must. It's his life force. My dreams pale in comparison to his never-ending dreams. His most delusional and hard to achieve dream was his air, Daisy. "Gatsby turned out all right at the end; it is what preyed on Gatsby, what foul dust floated in the wake of his dreams that temporarily closed out my interest in the abortive sorrows and short-winded elations of men."
In the end, I have traits of these characters, and this book will forever be embarked in my mind. I just know in my heart, that I will never be that devoted to m illusions, my fears, and my indecision. I will grow up, and I won't remember what should have happened but what will and had happened. Something, which was lost in translation for the characters of this Novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald.
