《了不起的盖茨比》英文读后感
Why is Gatsby great?After finishing this novel, this question keep me puzzled for a long time. Is this an irony? As a result of deep thinking and analyzing others' reviews, I finally came to a conclusion, that it isn't a irony.Gatsby is dramatically great.First, he is a man of ambition and diligence.He was born poor materially but not mentally ,longing for a broader world outside. Accidentally he met Dan Cody, a wealthy captain who bring him to the upper class, changing his life. Gatsby was not Gat was called James Gatz originally, but he changed his name in order to suit his status. When he was young, he fell in love with a beautiful debutante, Daisy, when the first world war broke out abruptly. Gatsby reluctantly joined the army, expecting to marry her as soon as the war ended. To his depression, he couldn’t return to America for some particular reason, and five years passed, Daisy married a rich football player, which convinced Gatsby that it was the desire of money captivated Daisy’s pure soul, so he exerted himself to make money, though by some shady business. In consequence of his diligence, he became a famous millionaire that everyone knew in West Egg. It was an typical American story: a poor man managed to be richSecond, he is a man of romantic dream and honest love.He built a luxurious mansion across the bay of Daisy’ house, holding extravagant parties every night, merely because maybe someday she would come. After several twists and turns, he got the opportunity to met her again. He was so into her that as a middle-aged man he couldn’t calm himself. He decorated the room with fresh flowers like garden, just as a teenage boy who is to date with his crushed girl for the first time. When the doorbell rang, he went out and ran in the pouring rain in order to hold back his excitement. There wouldn’t be a more honest man in the world, let alone in the materialistic society where unction was learnt by everyone and honesty was seen as foolishness. His love was the purest in the world and no one would have the honor to accept it. Even though it struck him that Daisy no longer loved him, what she loved was merely his money and the stimulation caused by affairs. After Daisy killed a woman by car accident, he chose to take the responsibility, in order that she would lead an easier life.Last but not the least, he is a man who can find devout hope in impasse and keep it on in the firm belief.He was convinced that it was himself who was the man Daisy ever loved from the beginning to the end, and that she merely married her husband for money. Even after she told him literally that she once love both of them but she only love Gatsby at that moment, he couldn’t accept it.‘Daisy will call’, he just believed for no reason. He moved the telephone around the swimming pool, for fear that he might miss her call. He believed that everyone was as kind as he. He believed in the diming green light.At the same time, “the great Gatsby” is also an irony. The narrator Nick Carraway who hardly ever commented on anybody else said that Gatsby were worth the whole damn bunch put together. The people around Gatsby, including TomBuchanan, Daisy, Meyer Wolfshiem spotlighted his greatness: he treated everyone well when he was alive, but ridiculously no one except Nick would like to attend his funeral. All of the charge was born by him, but in fact he never did one of them. He was the only good man, also the only punished man. What an irony. American dreams were broken just like fragile bubbles along with Gatsby’s lonely death. Millions of teenagers were making themselves another Gatsby, charged with ambition, diligence, love, honesty ,hope, dream, but they inevitably ended up dying miserable.。

The book report of The Great Gatsbay1《了不起的盖茨比》英文读书报告
The book report of The Great GatsbayBy F. Scott. FizgeraldThe Great Gatsbay is written by American author F. Scott. Fizgerald, who is considered a member of the "lost generation" of the Twenties. It was first published on 1925. The following is the main plot of the novel.A young man named Nick Caraway, who came to New York City in string of 1922. He became involved in the life of his neighbour at Long Island, jay Gatsbay revealed to Nick, that he fell in love with his cousin Daisy before the war. At that time, he is poor. However, Daisy married Tom Buchanan, a rich but boring man of good social position. But Gatsby was still in love with her.In Gatsby's opinion, daisy was a beautiful and charming that he had never seen. But I think she was also fickle, shallow, hypocritical. She was love with money, easy, and material luxury because she seemed to love Gatsby, but just appearance. Although I know the real Daisy, Gatsby did not know her clearly. This is the main reason why Gatsby could not get what he wanted.Becoming wealthy is the most important for him. Large fortune was from distributing illegal alcohol and trading in stolen securities. After getting money, Gatsby got luxurious possessions. "And a marble swimming pool, and more than forty acres of lawn and garden, it was Gatsby mansion."Besides,Gatsby went to Oxford University to get further study in order to make him more elegant and noble. He changed since his New Haven years. Now he was a study straw-haired man of thirty with a rather hard mouth and a supercilious manner. Two shining arrogant eyes has established dominance over his face and gave him the appearance of always learning aggressively forward. Not even the effeminate swank of his riding clothes could hide the enormous power of that body- he seemed to fill those glistening boots until he strained the top lacing, and you could see a great pack of muck shifting when his shoulder moved under his thin coat. It was a body capable of enormous beverage-" a cruel body" in Nick's eyes.Gatsby held sumptuous parties every weekend at his mansion. The party is almost unbelievably luxurious. He made friends who have outstanding fame and high position.Due to natural instincts- vanity, Daisy began to sob helplessly;; I did love him true, but I loved you too." when Gatsby tried to convince her to leave Tom. Gatsby lost Daisy because he had no money, but he still loved her. It was the blinding love that killed him.Daisy, driving Gatsby's car, hit and killed Tom's mistress, Myrtle Wilson, Gather knew the truth, but he kept silent to protect her. Afterwards, Tom told Myrtle's husband that it was Gatsby killed his wife. Then Wilson murdered Gatsby and committed suicide.After Gatsby''s dying, almost no people including those who usually attended his parties came to his funeral. Nick was left to arrange Gatsby's funeral, attended only Gatsby's father and the former guests. The woman who ever allowed Gatsby to take the blame for killing Myrtle rather than attend his funeral moved away with her husband finally, leaving no contact address.Gatsby is the typical American youth in the twenties. He regarded Daisy as the symbol of the youth, money and status deeply. He thought innocently: he can receive the last love, his dream after having money. It was a pity. He had misunderstood the girl he loved and the boring society on the surface. So he would never made his dream come true. But, he tried his best.。
(完整word版)《了不起的盖茨比》英文读后感
Pursuit for dreams—after reading The Great GatsbyI have heard of the famous novel The Great Gatsby for many years. However, until recently have I got the time and mood to read it. As soon as I finish reading, I find my previous unwarranted assumption of it totally wrong.This is a story about Gatsby and his pursuit for the ‘American dreams’. During the World War One, the poor soldier Gatsby fell in love with an upper class girl named Daisy. But due to the wide gap between them, Daisy decided to marry Tom, a man of her class, instead of Gatsby. Broken-hearted Gatsby then held the conviction that money was of the greatest importance. He strongly believed in the ‘American dreams’, which as we all know, advocates that one can achieve whatever he or she likes through continuous efforts. He strived for five years to become a millionaire and bought a villa near Daisy’s to attract her. He was too addicted to his fantasy to realize that Daisy was no longer the lovely girl she used to be. Eventually, he was killed because of her crime.After reading it, something reverberates in my heart. I can’t help thinking of the theme Fitzgerald trying to convey. One thing may be the lonely void of people’s spiritual world. I am deeply impressed by chapter 3, where a vivid description of a party is given.There were beautiful girls, drunk men, and boisterous crowds there, but none of them perceived the pointless of their lives and the barren of their minds. To see this phenomenon deeper, there were two circumstances underlying it. The first is the lack of dreams. Some people, especially the people of the upper class, lived an aimless life. They wasted their time and money and took an indifferent attitude towards life. They chased for temporary ecstasy but lost their identity in eternity, namely Daisy and Tom. The second is the misleading of dreams. Some others like Gatsby, bravely pursued their dreams, yet going to a diverged way unconsciously. They might mix up the concept of a richer life and a happier life, viewing a higher social state and a peaceful fulfilled life as equality. Unfortunately, when they were busy chasing their dreams, everything changed with time. When they were anxious about the to-gets, they ignored what they had already had and lost the alert to the constant changes. The excellent use of symbolization illustrates this idea perfectly. The imagery of ‘green light’ is the most important symble which occurred three times in the novel. The green-light’s obscure in the mist indicates the dim of Gatsby’s dreams.As far as I am concerned, this story can serve as a reminder for us. To live a meaningful life, we should carefully choose some dreams to pursue. And in the process of fulfilling our dreams, weshould always be concious about what we really desire. Anyhow, only by pursuing the proper dreams can we finally get to the deep springs of happiness.。

almost no people including those who usually attended his parties came to his funeral.Nick was left to arrange Gatsby's funeral, attended only Gatsby's father and the former guests.The woman who ever allowed Gatsby to take the blame for killing Myrtle rather than attend his funeral moved away with her husband finally, leaving no contact address.Gatsby is the typical American youth in the twenties.He regarded Daisy as the symbol of the youth, money and status deeply.He thought innocently: he can receive the last love, his dream after having money.It was a pity.He had misunderstood the girl he loved and the boring society on the surface.So he would never made his dream come true.But, he tried his best.第二篇：了不起的盖茨比读书报告“The American Dream”reflected in The Great GatsbyThe Great Gatsby is a novel by the American author F.Scott Fitzgerald.The first time I finished reading it, I treated it as a love tragic story.Gatsby’s love for Daisy was so deep that he loved her for so many years and finally died because of her.However, it is a pity that Daisy was a fickle, shallow girl who only loved money, ease and material luxuty.I feel sorry for Gatsby’s love for a unworthy girl.In fact, the novel involves a much larger and less romantic scope.I came to realize it after knowing more about F.Scott Fitzgerald’s works and the background of the story.The Great Gatsby actually symbolized the disillusion of the American Dream.It shows a vivid picture of the 1920’s with its surface prosperity a nd underlying sadness.The 1920’s is a decade when Americans worship money and ease of life instead of the original American Dream that dreaming of a better, richer and happier life for all citizens of every rank.The tragedy of Gatsby is an example of the failure of the American Dream.It can be analyzed from people’s pursuit of money, status and love.Money was of great importance during that period of time.It can be found from every aspect of people’s life.Firstly, money was a necessity for love and marriage.Gatsby was penniless when Daisy fell in love with him.They could not get married without money.Thus, Gatsby left to make money for his love.However, Daisy didn’t wait for him but married Tom, an arrogant, hypocritical man who had no moral qualms but money.From it we can see that Daisy chose money, not love.Secondly, people can do anything for money.For example, in order to make money, Gatsby chose to smuggle alcohol and do other criminal activities.These activities were of high risks, but Gatsby was willing to do them for money.Thirdly,money was more important than family kinship.At the funeral of Gatsby, his father didn’t show much sorrow for his son’s death, but were more proud of his son’s wealth.In his eye’s, money was more important than his son.Finally, money could make a normal person a celebrity.At the beginning of the novel, the author spent a lot of ink to describe the gorgeous mansion Gatsby lived, the luxurious car he owned, and the grand parties he held.These things made Gatsby popular in the town and these things all came from money.From above it can be concluded that money was the very pursuit of people in that period of time.Status was also a very important thing people try to pursue.Firstly, it can be reflected from Gatsby’s love for Daisy.Why did Gatsby loved Daisy but not other girls? This was because to Gatsby, Daisy represented the paragon of perfection—she has the aura of charm, wealth, sophistication, grace, and aristocracy that he longed for as a child in North Dakota.All her characters were endowed by her status.Secondly, in the novel, the town was divided into East Egg and West Egg.People like Daisy and Tom lived on the East Egg presented American aristocracy(families with old wealth), and people like Gatsby lived in the West Egg presented newly rich industrialists and speculators.Fitzgerald portrays the newly rich as being vulgar, gaudy, ostentatious, and lacking in social graces and taste.Gatsby, for example, lives in a monstrously ornate mansion, wears a pink suit, drives a Rolls-Royce, and does not pick up on subtle social signals, such as the insincerity of the Sloanes’ invitation to lunch.In contrast, the old aristocracy possesses grace, taste, subtlety, and elegance, epitomized by the Buchanans’ tasteful home and the flowing white dresses of Daisy and Jordan Baker.Thus, it can be concluded that the newly rich admired thearistocracy’s status.Gatsby’s pursuit for Daisy also reflected the American Dream.Daisy was beautiful, charmingand grace, but she was also shallow, bored and sardonic.In reality, therefore, Daisy falls far short of Gatsby’s ideals.Daisy proves her real nature when she chooses Tom over Gatsby in Chapter VII, then allows Gatsby to take the blame for killing Myrtle Wilson even though she herself was driving the car.Finally, rather than attend Gatsby’s funeral, Daisy and Tom move away, leaving no forwarding address.With the pursuits corrupted, Gatsby's American dream is inevitably doomed.Gatsby died in line with the disillusionment of the American Dream.Furthermore,Gatsby is merely a typical representative of the thousands of Americans in 1920s.Through the archetypal story of Gatsby, Fitzgerald tells us that the distorted and perverted American dream in 1920s is doomed a disillusionment. 第三篇：了不起的盖茨比读书报告2104070593 2010级王丹Book ReportThis semester, I read a book which is named The Great Gatsby.The Great Gatsby was published in 1922 by F.Scott Fitzgerald.At first glance, the novel appears to be a simple love story, but further examination reveals Fitzgerald's masterful scrutiny of American society during the 1920s and the corruption of the American dream.The author is F.Scott Fitzgerald.Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald was born on September 24, 1896, and named after his ancestor Francis Scott Key, the author of The Star-Spangled Banner.Fitzgerald was raised in St.Paul, Minnesota.Though an intelligent child, he did poorly in school and was sent to a New Jersey boarding school in 1911.Despite being a mediocre student there, he managed to enroll atPrinceton in 1913.Academic troubles and apathy plagued him throughout his time at college, and he never graduated, instead enlisting in the army in 1917, as World War I neared its end.Fitzgerald was the most famous chronicler of 1920s America, an era that he dubbed “the Jazz Age.” Writt en in 1925, The Great Gatsby is one of the greatest literary documents of this period, in which the American economy soared, bringing unprecedented levels of prosperity to the nation.Prohibition, the ban on the sale and consumption of alcohol mandated by the Eighteenth Amendment to theConstitution(1919), made millionaires out of bootleggers, and an underground culture of revelry sprang up.He published the novel Tender is the Night, Paradise, The Last Giant and so on.Published over 160 short novels, for example Benjamin's Fantasy Trip, Ice Palace, Winter Dream, Sensible.Back to Babylon and so on.In the 81st Oscar Awards ceremony got three Oscar-winning films Benjamin Button is based on his short novel Benjamin's Fantasy Trip adaptation.The twentieth century, the United States academic community selected 100 the best novels in the river of English literature.The Great Gatsby and Tender is the Night are the list.And The Great Gatsby is second.The Great Gatsby shows us a vivid picture of the 1920s with its superficial prosperity and underlying sadness.The failure of American dream and the crisis of value are well reflected in characters and the details of the novel.In The Great Gatsby,Fitzgerald skillfully employed the contrastive techniques in terms of scenes,characters as well as dream and reality.These techniques not only deepen the tragic theme, but also imparted the text a brand-new interpretation and profound artistic glamour.The novel is told us the story of Gatsby by Nick’ tone.Nick is tired ofhis hometow n’ life and came to New York.Rent a small house in the suburb of West Egg.He is Daisy's cousin.The Gatsby is his neighbor, living in luxurious Gatsby mansion.He and Daisy love each other when Gatsby was young.But because of his poor family they were broken up.Then he joined the First World War.While Daisy married torich Kids T om.Five years later, Daisy and her family move to the West from Chicago.Nick started have close contacts with them.Gatsby accumulated great wealth throughillegal means in the five years.Follow Daisy came to New York.Opposite Daisyhome he bought the villa-Gatsby Mansion.In order to attract married Daisy to meet.He held a large part at the villa every weekend.Vain hope to arouse the lost lovebetween them.An occasional opportunity let Gatsby knew that Nick is Daisy's cousin.Asked him arrange a meeting with Daisy.Then they often make date.He gradually found Daisy's vanity, vulgar and selfish.Gatsby's pink dream finally has been broken, but he still insisted it.Still retain any illusion about Daisy, and even lead to histragedies.One day Daisy was in a drunken driving Gatsby's car ran over and caused an accident that killed Tom's mistress.And plan a plot with Tom and cruel to put the blame on Gatsby.Resulting in the victim's husband suddenly burst into the house and shot Gatsby.The murderer eventually also killed himself.And Daisy and Tom were traveling to Europe.Only Gatsby's poor father and Nick attend at the funeral.The story ends up with the Gatsby become victim for selfish and cruel of Daisy.The story begins in 1920s –was named by “jazz” and “money” era.The novel use Nick’ tones tell thestory.Happened as if is Nick’ experience.It is use a unique literary vision and new performance style profoundly revealed the burst reason about American Dream at Jazz and Money Age.After war The US economic prosperity age, the life style trends to money worship are expressed most vividly.But it was under the cover of the selfishness and indifference of human nature.The reason why are Gatsby great because he was sincere and persistent waiting for and pursuing his love at heart.When the social is popular that people indulging pleasure and pride luxury.However, in material-driven environment, whether it is Gatsby, Daisy or Tom.They pursuit, devotion and transfer for love are close linked to money and status.The Great Gatsby is ranked second in the Modern Library’s list of the 100 best novels of the 20th century.But everyone has the different criteria on good books.One point of good books is, I think, when you eat it the taste is what you need.The good books tell you clearly something that lurks in your brain dimly.So you will feel very good if you resonate with the character in books.Another point of good books is, after you have eaten it the taste is so good that you want to eat it again.The good book is amusing and thought inspiring.The Great Gatsby also has a lot of puns and symbolisms.Finally, I hope everyone can be himself.Don’t lose your spirit.As far as I amconcerned even though you love someone, you should not accommodate yourself to him or her too much.Just be yourself.Only if he or her love you sincerely can you have a happy life in the future.第四篇：了不起的盖茨比读书报告A Book Report of The Great GatsbyBy Li LiF.Scott Fitzgerald.The Great : Penguin Books Ltd, 2007187 Pages.Fiction.The Great Gatsby is told us a tragic story in which how Gatsby tries his best for his dreams of love and life but finally he also fails in face of the reality by Nick’s tone.Background InformationThe Great Gatsby is the most famous masterpiece of Fitzgerald’s.It’s also the master piece of American realism fiction in the early period of the 20th century.This work was written in 1925 by Fitzgerald.This period is called jazz age, it’s also the most exuberant period of the a uthor’s creativity.In this period, World War I has already ended up(1918)before Great Depression(1929)arrived.The traditional Puritan ethics crumbled and hedonism began to be popular.With Fitzgerald’s words, ‘this is a miracle of the era, an era of art, a miserly time, but also is a era full of taunt’.Fitzgerald called the age as the jazz age, so he is called ‘the poet laureate’ in this jazz age.As he himself also enjoyed this era warmly, he keenly felt this era for the romantic desire, the surface of the luxury of emptiness and behind is helpless, and in his works these emotions were reflect ed heartily.In his works, the delicate affection quarrel of the young people who are in and out of the golf course, country club and luxurious residence of the high society is an eternal theme, and the leading roles’ frustration and disappointment by money dispelling are everywhere.The Great Gatsby describes a story to represent the desire of the young and idealism.It involves the mercurial feelings including confusion and loss all the time.Fitzgerald thinks it’s the fate of the people’s fate in that era.Plot SummaryEvaluationThe Cause of Miriam’s Tragedy:1.Social cause2.The isolated living environment3.The influence of religion4.Paul and the interference of Mrs.Morel第五篇：了不起的盖茨比英文读书报告[小编推荐]Book Report of The Great GatsbyThe introduction about the author:Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald(September 24, 1896 – December 21, 1940)was an American author of novels and short stories, whose works are the paradigm writings of the Jazz Age, a term he coined himself.He is widely regarded as one of the greatest American writers of the 20th century.Fitzgerald is considered a member of the “Lost Generation” of the 1920s.He finished four novels: This Side of Paradise, The Beautiful and Damned, Tender Is the Night, and the most famous one is The Great Gatsby.Fitzgerald also wrote many short stories that treat themes of youth and promise along with despair and age.The Great Gatsby was first published in 1925, and it has been republished in 1945 and 1953.There are two settings for the novel.The first setting is on Long Island's North Shore and the second major setting is in New York City.The book is set within the year 1922 from the spring to the autumn.Summary of this book: Nick Carraway, a Midwesterner who had graduated from Yale, moved to New York in the summer of 1922 to learn about the bond business.He rented a house in the West Egg district of Long Island, a group who had made their fortunes too recently to have established social connections and who were prone to garish displays of wealth.Nick’s next-door neighbor in West Egg was a mysterious man named Jay Gatsby, who lived in a gigantic Gothicmansion and threw extravagant parties every Saturday night.Nick was unlike the other inhabitants of West Egg—he was educated at Yale and had social connections in East Egg, a fashionable area of Long Island home to the established upper class.Nick drove out to East Egg one eveningfor dinner with his cousin, Daisy Buchanan, and her husband, Tom, an erstwhile classmate of Nick’s at Yale.Daisy and Tom introduced Nick to Jordan Baker, a beautiful, cynical young woman with whom Nick began a romantic relationship.Nick also leart a bit about Daisy and Tom’s marriage: Jordan told him that Tom had a lover, Myrtle Wilson, who lived in the valley of ashes, a gray industrial dumping ground between West Egg and New York City.Not long after this revelation, Nick travelled to New York City with Tom and Myrtle.At a vulgar, gaudy party in the apartment that Tom kept for the affair, Myrtle began to taunt Tom about Daisy, and Tom responded by breaking her nose.As the summer progressed, Nick eventually garnered an invitation to one of Gatsby’s legendary parties.He encountered Jordan Baker at the party, and they met Gatsby himself, a surprisingly young man who had a remarkable smile and called everyone “old sport.” Gatsby asked to speak to Jordan alone, and through Jordan, Nick later leart more about his mysterious neighbor.Gatsby told Jordan that he knew Daisy in Louisville in 1917 and was deeply in love with her.He spent many nights staring at the green light at the end of her dock, across the bay from his mansion.Gatsby’s extravagant lifestyle and wild parties were simply an attempt to impress Daisy.Gatsby now wanted Nick to arrange a reunion between himself and Daisy, but he was afraid that Daisy would refuse to see him if she knew that he still loved her.Nick invited Daisy to have tea at his house, withouttelling her that Gatsby would also be there.After an initially awkward reunion, Gatsby and Daisy reestablished their connection.They begin an affair.After a short time, Tom grew increasingly suspicious of his wife’s relationship with Gatsby.At a luncheon at the Buchanans’ house, Gatsby stared at Daisy with such undisguised passion that Tom realized Gatsby is in love with her.Though Tom involved in an extramarital affair, he was deeply outraged by the thought that his wife could be unfaithful tohim.He forced the group to drive into New York City, where he confronted Gatsby in a suite at the Plaza Hotel.Tom asserted that he and Daisy had a history that Gatsby could never understand, and he announced to his wife that Gatsby was a criminal—his fortune came from bootlegging alcohol and other illegal activities.Daisy realized that her allegiance was to T om, and Tom contemptuously sent her back to East Egg with Gatsby, attempting to prove that Gatsby could not hurt him.When Nick, Jordan, and Tom drove through the valley of ashes, however, they discovered that Gatsby’s car h ad struck and killed Myrtle, Tom’s lover.They rushed back to Long Island, where Nick leart from Gatsby that Daisy was driving the car when it struck Myrtle, but that Gatsby intended to take the blame.The next day, Tom told Myrtle’s husband, George, that Ga tsby was the driver of the car.George, who had leapt to the conclusion that the driver of the car that killed Myrtle must have had been her lover, found Gatsby in the pool at his mansion and shoots him dead.He then fatally shot himself.Nick staged a small funeral for Gatsby, ended his relationship with Jordan, and moved back to the Midwest to escape the disgust he felt for the people surrounding Gatsby’s life and for the emptiness and moral decay of life among thewealthy on the East Coast.Nick reflected th at just as Gatsby’s dream of Daisy was corrupted by money and dishonesty, the American dream of happiness and individualism had disintegrated into the mere pursuit of wealth.Though Gatsby’s power to transform his dreams into reality made him “great,” Nick reflected that the era of dreaming—both Gatsby’s dream and the American dream—was over.。

了不起的盖茨比英语读后感及翻译篇1Recently read "the great gatsby, a story of hegemony set up dawn. The north American continent, is hundred years ago, the economic development of the train sped forward; Friction machines roar, but also too much to hide a moment of the heart. The book, that history is a little mark.Investigate its likelihood is a persons tragedy, is the tragedy of the society as a whole, may not be important. Wine party smallpox, extravagant luxury residence, colorful gorgeous clothes, just for the sake of his heart love Daisy. Think first, young and beautiful, sketched a period of time; Flies away and alternative fate lane person, in the heart of love is someone elses confidante. The deep love, the injury the farthest, cut; Not reality, immersed in the beautiful dream, but blurred the forward field of vision. Weakness of gunfire, all the dreams and beautiful, vulnerable to burst, scattered in the wind, without trace.Gatsby, his great, because he was the degree of potential energy, but because of his pursuit of the good feelings. He hasnt done anything wrong, but also had to the empty rooms. A dream, how to do, easy, but also how to away, difficult to achieve. In an age of people pursuit of material, to be backed by real emotions. Buckish, stained with money, odour, lost a condition is a pure heart. Leave a piece of pure land, at that time, doomed tooblivion the audacity of commitments.Finally wrote: "we continue to strive to move forward, stream, after being constantly push, until the return to the days of the old one."Heart can not help a Chu. Accustomed to another potential, accustomed to the intrigue, people, really happy? Blundering world, difficult times, disguise the Buddhism, purports to recall the mood like that is like water. This, is the only thing we can do?"Day after day, excitement consumed by gradually." Reality, kill too much like real unreal image. Those beautiful like a castle in the air, and hollow crowd away already. In between dreams and reality, we go from here?Gatsby is the choice of the former. Even if the cruel reality, fate, his image is still great; Pure love is hard to stop, right and wrong about his, also make them in a glorious situation across the sphere of a bygone era. Quietly away, few people look at the light. Through one hundred, is the ray of light, to the left a dark era deserves stay have story.Even if you, in the reality, still mark a dream back without regrets. That is worth pity era, these moving words, bring us infinite daydream.最近在读《了不起的盖茨比》，一个霸权建立破晓时分的故事。
