Exit Ticket: Social Satire

Fitzgerald uses youth to make fun of them by well, using youth to be the joke because young people are easier to trigger than old folks reason being, we are never satisfied. The fact that he includes that there are mountains made out of diamonds is how he, Fitzgerald is using wealth to create humor.

Great Gatsby Movie Reflection

 Discuss the controversial portrayal of women in the movie/novel?

   The scenes in the movie in regards to the females or specifically Daisy is not how things are today its actually way different than what is being portrayed in the movie. Reason being, today women do not think that a man cheating on them is normal nor okay to do but, in the movie The Great Gatsby Daisy didn't think that Tom cheating on her was the wrong thing to do. Basically in today's society women want respect in their  relationship and don't want to be treated or considered as fools though, in this film Daisy told Nick that "a girl being a fool is the best thing that she can be, a beautiful little fool." Daisy didn't have a problem with that only because she acted like a fool throughout the entire movie. Women are labeled as fools in the Great Gatsby one of them being Daisy.

Truthfully, no woman should be labeling themselves as a fool unless they actually act as a fool. It seemed as if Daisy was encouraged to be a fool because she like the men in the movie was being a player. In the film Daisy was originally in love with Gatsby but eventually married Tom for the money that he consumed. In the beginning the relationship between Tom and Daisy had its awe moments but then escalated into something more serious. The relationship escalated because Daisy found out that Gatsby was still alive and had lived near her for five years keeping in my that Daisy still loved Tom. Then her love for Gatsby came back when she spent time with him multiple times eventually her love was open to two men, Gatsby and Tom. Finally the point where she made herself seem like a fool was when she went back fourth confessing or showing her love and affection to whom she claimed to love. Daisy went though a lot of trouble because she acted like a fool, a fool that ended up staying with Tom since Gatsby, her first soul-mate passed away. All in all she proved that she and the female characters in the movie were fools. The controversial portrayal of women in The Great Gatsby was that they grow up to be the best thing they can ever be, a beautiful fool.

American's Story

This poem does not tell a lie! The whole poem has true facts because things have changed, good and bad. This reading reminded me that not only are we sometimes selfish today but back then people were a bit selfish and crucial to one another based on skin color compared to how the society is today.
Sure we have more laws today but back then citizens were more rude to others based on their race and today some Americans are not at all like that.

Independent Practice

Living in the 1920s in New York we would meet different people at any place which would make us all socially active people. Since we were rich we went to parties, wore fancy clothing ,and did fancy activities. Because people were rich in New York it made it sound like the city that never slept since there was always something going on at night and in the evening. The 1920s is basically like living in a relaxed and fun world. The 1920s were relaxed times because we partied, never slept, and we wouldn't have to worry about a thing in that time frame. The reason that living in the New York during the 1920s were fun was because it was a place where you can make your dreams come true and drove fancy cars.
