Book Report of Great Gatsby(原创)
Book Report of Great GatsbyI initially read The Great Gatsby when I was a sophomore, with some language basis to handle shallow aspects of literature like The Great Gatsby, though far from attaining a profound understanding. The assignment of reading The Great Gatsby was compulsory at that time, since our reading achievement would be finally checked by paper exam and book report. Therefore, it seemed tough for us to develop a sense of affection towards The Great Gatsby. Nevertheless, the novel was striking and unusual that I kept on reading until finishing all chapters. And in this semester, I picked up this book again (actually read on computer screen in electronic version), exploring further on The Great Gatsby under lecture’s guidance, with more passion and patience.Norwegian Wood and the Great GatsbyThe novel has been well known for more than half a century, and adapted to be movies for several times since its publication by various directors. Why does the story attract so many readers of different cultural identities and maintain its charm for such a long period till today? Definitely, there are various answers to this problem, and it depends on readers’perspectives and views. However, the popularity and huge success of The Great Gatsby reminds me of another famous writer Haruki Murakami from Japan and his work Norwegian Wood. It is not only because Haruki Murakami translated The Great Gatsby into his mother tongue, wrote long paragraph of introductions to strongly recommend the book to readers and spoke highly of it on public occasions for times, but also in that his literary work Norwegian Wood has a lot in common with The Great Gatsby.Though created in absolutely different times, The Great Gatsby and Norwegian Wood demonstrate some hints for readers to trace the similarity between them. The Great Gatsby was centered by F.S. Fitzgerald in 1925, depicting how a young man gains his wealth and becomes a millionaire through illegal business, smuggling and manufacturing alcohol after the authority has imposed a ban on alcohol. After Gatsby establishes his commercial empire, he turns to his ultimate goal in his life, regaining the love from his former girl friend Daisy.Like his peers at that time in the United States, Gatsby plunges into crazy of earning money and begins with little or totally no money. With his constant efforts and thirst of wealth, he finally succeeds. Nevertheless, the loneliness, dearth and poor spiritual world stimulate his emotion for true love and Daisy. Unfortunately, Gatsby fails to expect that Daisy has already been transformed into a sophisticated woman and far away from trueness by the real world where wealth has overwhelmingly served as the only judgment of success. The story is ended with a tragedy that Gatsby is shot dead by Wilson.Norwegian Wood was written by Haruki Murakami in 1987, telling a love story between a young man Watanabe and two women, Naoko and Midori.Watanabe falls in love with his senior high school mates Naoko after an accidental reunion. Not long after that, Watanabe meets his college classmates Midori and is attracted by his personality characterized by activeness and passion. Then they fall in love with each other. During this period, Naoko develops insanity and is sent to the sanitarium. Then, tragically, Naoko’s condition constantly deteriorates and finally commits suicide.Both stories are ended with tragic result, and The Great Gatsby depicts the twisted relations between one woman and two men, while Norwegian Wood tells the story between one man and two women. Meanwhile, one of heroes in each story loses his or her life. In the name of love, the heroes in both stories all commit absurd mistakes and extremely improper behaviors, some being quite funny and ridiculous. Both literary works make noble, funny, tragic description of heroes. Gatsby pursuits his true love Daisy, and makes best efforts as he could regardless of morality and manner to regain Daisy, ending with tragedy. Watanabe also have true love for Naoko and Midori, and he presents his love in a weird and absurd way, triggering tragedy in the end. Personally, The Great Gatsby may partially prototype Norwegian Wood.AmbitionTuring back to The Great Gatsby itself, I think it shares a valuable lesson to most of us that a person can be ambitious but should never demand too much. After Gatsby establishes his business empire and gathers unrivalled wealth in many other people’s eyes, he takes it for granted that he can regain the love of Daisy. However, all his behaviors and escalating passions towards Daisy work out in an opposite way. His wants Daisy to go back to him immediately, it being an unrealistic demand since Daisy has been married for quite a long time and turned into an even sophisticated woman. When Gatsby sticks to his obsession and commits irrational acts towards Daisy, he ultimately destroys his own life.Gatsby reflects me on some historic figures like Adolf Hitler, supreme leader of Nazi German, and Joseph Stalin, communist chief of former Soviet Union. Like Gatsby, both of them were born in poor family with extremely humble origin and grim childhood. After attaining the power in the election of congress, Adolf Hitler quickly turned the nation into a tyranny and dictatorship. However, obtaining the absolute power of a nation was far from his ambition, and he then turned his country into a brutal war machine, spreading the warfare to almost every corner of Europe. Ultimately, the invasion could hardly be furthered with resistance of righteous forces, and Hitler could never avoid the destiny of failure and extermination. In the communist super power, former Soviet Union, Stalin also committed similar errors. He eradicated almost all his dissidents inside and outside the party through assassination and political persecution, in order to consolidate his own position. Most of those unfortunate events authorized by Joseph Stalin have been verified by released credential documents after the failure of the Red Empire, and Stalin has already beenmarked as a tyrannical dictator with little people regarding his achievements. Their ambition greatly changed the appearance and status of their countries. However, it is also their ambitions that exterminate themselves.Everyone can be ambitious in his way of pursuing goals in his life, and it is one of the essential internal continuity to drive a person to move forward. Nevertheless, once the ambition expands too much, it will be an unrivalled hazard to both the bearer of the ambition and the community he lives.In ConclusionThe success and charm of The Great Gatsby not only lies in its delicate language and classic story, but also attributes to the ideas and introspection of humanity conveyed by it.。

Book Report on The Great Gatsby
A Shattered Dream of Vanity——Book report on The Great GatsbyThe Great Gatsby is a masterpiece written by a famous American writer F.Scott Fitzgerald. The book is published and reprinted in "Penguin Classics" 2000 in England.It is a story of the main protagonist, Gatsby, set in the early summer of 1922 in West Egg, Long Island, and told from the perspective of Nick Carraway, Gatsby's friend. After reading the book, I think The Great Gatsby is about Gatsby's shattered dream, a shattered dream of vanity.Gatsby buys a big mansion in the West Egg, across the bay from Daisy's house. He holds luxurious party every week, in order to draw the attention from Daisy, who he had loved since 5 years ago when he was a poor lieutenant. He was asked to leave for World War І, but Daisy didn't wait for him and married to Tom Buchanan, a rich aristocrat. Tom has a mistress outside, George Wilson's wife, Myrtle. Nick is Daisy's cousin and Tom's fellow student in Y ale. Moreover, he is coincidently a neighbor of Gatsby and the one who arranges the date between Gatsby and Daisy, whose love seems to be back again. However, their affair is revealed soon. Daisy chooses to go back to Tom, and Gatsby's dream is over. On the way home, Daisy kills Myrtle in a car accident. Gatsby takes the blame for Daisy and is killed by Myrtle's husband, George Wilson, who is incited by Tom. Up to now, we can see Gatsby's dream is disintegrated. He becomes the victim of others' greed, selfishness, and coldness.As a masterpiece of American "Lost Generation" literature, The Great Gatsby is far not only a story of love. In fact, it encompasses a much larger, less romantic scope about the grand background of times. It concerns about the American era of unprecedented prosperity, the comparison between the newly rich and the old aristocracy, the moral decline of the upper class and so on.Here I want to focus on the profound meaning of this book on the perspective of Gatsby's shattered dream.Five years ago, Gatsby was a poor lieutenant, who fell in love with the aristocratic girl, Daisy. He lied to her that he himself was from a wealthy family so that she would consider him as worthy of her. After the war, Gatsby tries to gain fortune, even by smuggling, to win her back. For Gatsby, Daisy is his dream: beautiful, charming,graceful, that kind of girl of sophistication, wealth, and aristocracy which he values and pursues. Nevertheless, Daisy falls far short of Gatsby's ideals. She is beautiful and charming, but also material, fickle, shallow, bored, and sardonic. Nick characterizes her as a careless person who smashes things up and then retreats behind her money. Later even Gatsby himself realizes her voice is "full of money", though he never gives up his dream of Daisy from beginning to end.The Great Gatsby is a novel about American dream: discovery, individualism, and the pursuit of happiness. But this dream is corrupted in the 1920s, an era which portrayed by Fitzgerald, "decayed social and moral values, cynicism, greed, and empty pursuit of pleasure". Tom and Daisy, and those guests attending Gatsby's parties, the indifferent, ruthlessness aristocrats all stand for the eroded social aspects.On the opposite side, Gatsby processes moral qualities in the novel. He is innocent, sincere, loyal, and good-hearted. He claims he is the driver to take the blame for Daisy, remains outside Daisy's window until 4 a.m. simply to make sure that Tom does not hurt her. He is lovesick, though worthless, and holds a hopeful dream and persists in his dream of true love. Many people may not find out that, Gatsby's dream is truly also a dream of vanity. America of early 20th century was pursuing wealth, pleasure, but resulted in the decline of morality, stuffy, empty, and hypocrisy. Comparatively, Gatsby, from his early youth, despised poverty and longed for wealth and sophistication. Daisy reflects his worship of wealth and aristocracy. But his dream of vanity is finally ruined, revealing the corruption that wealth causes and the unworthiness of the goal, the goal driven from his value. After Gatsby died, rather than attend the funeral, Daisy and Tom move away, leaving no forwarding address. Gatsby's dream of vanity finally crumbles, and having witnessed the whole story, Nick decides to return to his hometown, where American values have not decayed.After reading The Great Gatsby, reading his shattered dream of love, of vanity, I do not only have known the conception of the American society in early 20th century, but also know that the value of a time, a nation, and an individual is so significant. There is a very conspicuous symbol in the novel, the eyes of Doctor T. J. Eckleburg painted on an old advertising billboard over the valley of ashes. It is a warning that our development and morality will always be stared upon and judged by God. Remember it.。

ThebookreportofT...第一篇：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 rge 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 shiningarrogant 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 T om'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.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.

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.。

了不起的盖茨比英文阅读报告了不起的盖茨比英文读书报告Pursuit for DreamsThe Great Gatsby is a 1925 novel written by American author F. Scott Fitzgerald that follows a cast of characters living in the fictional town of West Egg on prosperous Long Island in the summer of 1922. The story primarily concerns the young and mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby and his quixotic passion and obsession for the beautiful former debutante Daisy Buchanan.This novel is narrated by Nick who returns to the Midwest before setting to the New York City. Daisy is Nick’s cousin once removed and Nick knows of her husband, Tom. With the development of the novel, Nick knows that his next-door neighbor is the wealthy Gatsby, who always hosting lavish parties of hundreds of people. Then Nick knows that Gatsby had fallen in love with Daisy long before. But Gatsby had no money to marriedDaisy, so Daisy married to the wealthy Tom. With few years of illegal traffic and smuggling, Gatsby accumulates a great amount of wealth. With the help of Nick, they meet and begin a love affair again. But then Tom finds that. After the combat between the two men, Daisy knocks down and kills Myrtle by accident when driving Gatsby’s car. At last, Daisy and Tom escape, left Gatsby be shot by Wilson.After read this novel, I think Gatsby is silly and unwisely. For his whole life after he falls in love with Daisy, an attractive and elegant but shallow and selfish young lady, he strives for years to become a millionaire. But Gatsby doesn’t realize the truth of his love and still sacrifices for his dream blindly, even by paying with his life. Gatsby takes the blame of killing Myrtle for Daisy, and is shot by Myrtle’s husband who is incited by Tom. Sadly, after his death, all Gatsby gains is Daisy’s indifference. I think no one is worth a great deal of sacrifice,especially for a frivolous and selfish person. While as the novel’s title The Great Gatsby says, I agree that Gatsby is truly great. In my opinion, Gatsby is pure, sincere, enthusiastic and persevering. Gatsby’s success in fortune is great; his strong will of love and achieving life goal is also great; he becomes the big name of the society and becomes the upper class’s deputy. Everyone is glad to come to his party; everyone admires his property; and everyone wants to be his friend, even Daisy has taken much notice of him and falls in love with him again. Gatsby is also great when he loses his life in order to protect Daisy from the accident.All in all, this story can serve as a reminder for us. To live a meaningful life, we should carefully choose some dreams to pursue. Everyone, if only work hard and never give up, we could achieve our dreams and could live a better life in the piece of the land. People should make their efforts, such as diligence, courage and determination to realize dreamsrather than depend on the help from others.篇二：了不起的盖茨比英文读书报告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 firstsetting 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 Gothic mansion 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, T om, 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 toJordan 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, without telling 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, T om 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. T om 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 Tom, and Tom contemptuously sent her back to East Egg with Gatsby, (转载于: 写论文网:了不起的盖茨比英文阅读报告)attempting to prove that Gatsby could not hurt him.When Nick, Jordan, and T om drove through the valley of ashes, however, they discovered that Gatsby’s car had struck and killed Myrtle, Tom’s lover. They rushed back to Long Island, where Nick leart from Gatsby that Daisy wasdriving the car when it struck Myrtle, but that Gatsby intended to take the blame. The next day, T om told Myrtle’s husband, George, that Gatsby 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 the wealthy on the East Coast. Nick reflected that 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 andthe American dream—was over.篇三：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.

Fitzgerald's sister Louise (died shortly after birth) was also named according to his name.Fitzgerald was not only to write novels, but also write short stories that have the writer's frequency characteristics. Fitzgerald wrote a total of 4 novels, 150 short stories in his life. His novel vividly reflected the "American dream" dashed in the 1920s and showed the spirit of "wasteland era" in American upper society during the Great Depression.The book is the epitome of classical representative of American society named The Great Gatsby. Also, The Great Gatsby is Fitzgerald's the most famous novels, and it has established his status in the history of the American modern literature and become one of the representative writers of the "Jazz Age" and the spokesman of the "Lost Generation".When I started reading this book, I wanted to know what the story is. After reading, I knew that the story happened in the upper class in modern American society. The main character, 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. Nick's next-door neighbor in West Egg was a mysterious man named Jay Gatsby, who fell in love with his cousin Daisy before the war. At that time, he was poor. However, Daisy married Tom Buchanan, a rich but boring man of good social position. But Gatsby was still in love with her.

Gatsby's beautiful dreams finally were broken, but he was still making the final struggle, still had a fantasy to Daisy so that he suffered a lot in the end.Fitzgerald used the first person successfully to write this book and also used Nick as a narrator to recall the story. He was not only an authority, but also a spectator. As the authority, he was a neighbor of Gatsby, a distant cousin of Daisy and the old acquaintance of Tom. He also helped Gatsby and Daisy reunite, witnessed the conflict between Tom and Gatsby and dealt with Gatsby's funeral. As a spectator, he from did not know Gatsby to become his mourner. It was just a day Nick finally saw through the people that he contacted with, realized the "golden age" of the American society in which they lived.As far as I'm concerned, I think Gatsby was a great man because he loved Daisy all the time. His heart was pure. Although he struggled for years, entered the upper society circles, he never swayed by money, power, and honor. Also, his construction of career was so as to be more close to Daisy. Unfortunately, his life ended in tragedy, including his dream of love.Gatsby believed in the green light, the fantastic future that year by year recedes before us. It escaped us then, but that’s no matter—tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther… and one fine morning—So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.（677 words）。
