1. Picture:
2. Picture Explanation:
I chose this picture because in the end of this chapter after Gatsby's Funeral Nick moves back west. He moves because he is done with the fakeness and the way they live there lives.
3. Quotes:
"He must have felt that he had lost the old warm world, paid a high price for living too long with a single dream. He must have looked up at an unfamiliar sky through frightening leaves and shivered as he found what a grotesque thing a rose is and how raw the sunlight was upon the scarcely created grass. A new world, material without being real, where poor ghosts, breathing dreams like air, drifted fortuitously about...like that ashen, fantastic figure gliding toward him through the amorphous trees."
This quote shows that Gatsby was the perfect example of The American Dream. Unfortunately, Gatsby failed The American Dream when he died. He was not able to be a self made man, and get alot of money with little effort. He was also unable to have the freedom to pursue happiness. Gatsby's life failed him completely.
4. Theme and Significance:
In the final chapter of The Great Gatsby, Gatsby is murdered. A few chapters earlier, Myrtle was murdered, but not by Gatsby. Myrtle's husband strongly believed that Gatsby was the person who hit and run Myrtle, all because it was his car. So for his revenge he went after Gatsby. He shot Gatsby and killed him instantly, but then shot himself afterwards. Nick planned Gatsby's entire funeral and learned that nobody cared about Gatsby the way he thought they did. He realized that people were using Gatsby for his luxurious parties, and at his parties all they did was gossip about him. Nick realized that the only friend Gatsby had, was him and himself. Daisy did not even care about Gatsby the way Nick thought she did because she did not even show up to Gatsby's funural, and she did not even show the slightest bit of mourn even by sending a letter or making a phone call. Nick realizes that moving to New York wasn't the best idea because from the day he moved there to the day he moved away from there, life was extremely eventful for him. So, Nick moves away back to the midwest, probably never forgetting the experience he had in New York.
