i had writers block but suddenly my mind got blown by myself and then i typed almost my whole essay like this

[mira @B3mdhingra]

suddenly. the colors all make sense to me. #ch9 #mindblown

[mira @B3mdhingra]

funny how the ones who claimed they were the most happy turned out to be the most miserable in the end #ch9

[mira @B3mdhingra]

gatsby standing outside while watching tom and daisy shows that even though gatsby achieved his goals, his dreams have been destroyed #ch7

[mira @B3mdhingra]

tom has no problem cheating on his wife, but when he suspects daisy of being disloyal, he plays the victim card #ch7 #thissomehypocrisy

[mira @B3mdhingra]

gatsby is so focused on changing his past that he's unable to live in the present and ultimately sets himself up for disappointment #ch6

[mira @B3mdhingra]

gatsby strictly picks apart his life and chooses what to keep; the rest of his life is purely an illusion he has created for himself #ch6

[mira @B3mdhingra]

the dark sky and heavy rain represents gatsby's nerves prior to seeing daisy. later, gatsby starts "glowing" and the weather clears up #ch5

[Mandana Farhoomand @B3mfarhoomand]

The green light at the end of the dock appears to be closer; just like Daisy is. Could this green light be a symbol of Gatsby's dreams? #ch5

[mira @B3mdhingra]

gatsby when daisy recognizes him #chapter5

I wish the women during this time had a women's march as well, seems like there has only been little change since then.

[mira @B3mdhingra]

@B3mdhingra probably explains why she doesn't drink... she's afraid that all her real feelings about her life will spill out of her mouth

[mira @B3mdhingra]

when drunk, most characters become numb to all emotions. however when daisy was drunk, she seemed the most genuine she's ever been #ch4

[mira @B3mdhingra]

#chapter4 "gatsby's very careful about women. he would never so much as look at a friend's wife"

[mira @B3mdhingra]

we repeatedly see the emptiness of the elite class & how they turn to substances and parties to distract themselves from their lives #motif

[mira @B3mdhingra]

still intrigued by the use of the many colors in the story. yellow and white seem to play a huge role in this society #motif

[mira @B3mdhingra]

#gatsby isolates himself from the rest of society. therefore, he throws extravagant parties to try and feel like he's part of the crowd

[mira @B3mdhingra]

nick stating that he's "one of the few honest people" that he's ever known gives me the impression that he's quite the opposite lmao #chap3

[mira @B3mdhingra]

sad that all anyone knows about gatsby are the rumors spread around at his parties and ppl make no effort to actually get to know him #chap3

[mira @B3mdhingra]

males are addressed as "men" while females are addressed as "girls" #why #butwhatsnew #chapter3
