Quotes from the Book

The obsession with wanting to think about the past and future messess up what they have in the present.

Anybody who works hard can achieve success in the American Dream

Mr. Gatsby's Persona

“So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.” - (Fitzgerald, 189)

“[Gatsby’s] dream must have seemed so close that he could hardly fail to grasp it. He did not know that it was already behind him, somewhere back in that vast obscurity beyond the city, where the dark fields of the republic rolled on under the night." - (Fitzgerald, 194)

Ryan Gosling embodies Mr. Gatsby's charm, allure, and affluence. Ryan Gosling would be able to play Mr. Gatsby well because he is sharp, well-mannered, and has big ideas for a young man. Mr. Gatsby is drawn as an attractive blond man with a cunning smile, and I think Ryan Gosling has the perfect personality and physical attributes to be able to play Mr. Gatsby.
