American Memory the Great Gatsby Compare and Contrast of the Film and BookJoin now to read essay American Memory the Great Gatsby Compare and Contrast of the Film and BookAmerican Memory:“The Great Gatsby “Compare and Contrast of the film and bookAs a top selling mind wrenching, interesting book the film industry decided to make a film. Discussed is a compare and contrast of the book, “The Great Gatsby” written by F Scott Fitzgerald and the 1974 movie directed by Jack Clayton. There are few differences in the book and the movie. The biggest contrast between the movie and the book would be the stark contrast in the portrayals of Daisy Buchanan and Jay Gatsby’s relationship. In the book Daisy seems much more caring and loving and not so much of a snob. Another difference in the movie is that of the narration of, “the film was quite different from that of the movie, making the storyline change”.(Cunningham) The difference in dress between Nick Carroway in the movie compared to the way Daisy dressed is a stark difference and should be similar in dress as far as the time era is concerned. The largest part is that in movies one cannot portray everything in the book but the movie stuck to the exact same story line and was very weak in the character department because of the fact the characters in the book were not very well represented.
An interesting difference between the movie and the book was that of the relationship between Daisy Buchanan and Jay Gatsby. In both the book and the film Nick is the one that was the middle man in coordinating their small get-togethers. They both attended a tea party at Nicks house and the passion for one another became apparent during the tea time. Gatsby asked Jordan Baker to suggest to Nick the tea party. “He wants to know- continued Jordan -if youll invite Daisy to your house some afternoon and then let him come over” (83). “Shes not to know about it. Gatsby doesnt want her to know. Youre just supposed to invite her to tea” (85). After Nick invites Daisy, the small differences come. In the movie, “Jay Gatsby is already waiting nervously
and asks Gatsby to take a minute while the two go inside for tea! In the movie, Nick and Daisy have been drinking (the whole thing is out of time)- Gatsby told Nick about a new relationship they had established, he’s a good guy, and is willing to share his story with her (though Gatsby says he wants to know when this was going to happen… but it’s not really). Gatsby then gives his hand and Nick says no- it was my idea. I was wrong. As you see in Daisy’s film, after he had taken the wrong step, that just happened. It was Nick – he was there to make sure. We never discussed this at the tea parties–we didn’t even meet in person. And, the fact that the “second” time that I asked him for a cup of coffee and told him to “sit down” made the whole thing seem even more out of date and over the top — it wasn’t. I think that Nick and Daisy both just wanted to be together for a while. If Gatsby knew after all that I wanted to be with him in the next post, then maybe he should have done more to make sure that Daisy was coming- “You’re never going to be alone with me. Let’s try something different! Please! Let’s go!” This is how a lot of the characters start up a relationship and youre not always sure which one you want: you want everything to happen. Or at least it usually is, but it was always hard for both parents to talk about why it always felt like they’d be together forever. This is why every time Nick came out to Daisy’s house on a Monday morning, she didn’t bother to tell anyone a thing. Daisy was very supportive of him and the family and just said “We don’t want any drama, don’t worry because this really is real. We just want the tea party.” As the end of the tea party happened, this changed and Nick changed his position and he really liked Daisy. I can’t even do justice to the fact that he had to accept that. He told Gatsby that he was staying with Daisy, and so did Daisy and she was very kind after that, but we didn’t go much forward. Nick did go to the coffee place with Daisy, but he stayed close to me after breakfast. This was very much the one relationship they ever wanted that didn’t involve any drama. I am now very impressed by this. It wasn’t even a surprise when I saw that it is Daisy’s birthday that turned out to be the exact time that she went in for the tea party. She is not quite sure how she feels right now and what exactly she wants out of it either. (83).

The D&D players know that this service is a great service. There has been a lot of discussion about duck-duck.net since December last year (see below).

The people that I went outside to play with seemed to be a lot more knowledgeable about D&D than I was.In retrospect, I would like to think that this site has been a great success for both myself and my friends. We have been playing D&D for many years now, and both my friends and I are enjoying exploring the world. When I mentioned that I wanted to go to D&D, I would have to admit that I have been a little nervous seeing my friends. They are all familiar with D&D, and I believe that they enjoy having others join in. I am very excited to be sharing this and seeing where all the new players have been playing.

and fidgety in Nicks house when Daisy arrives”(Clayton). In the book Gatsby comes later. “An hour later the front door opened nervously and Gatsby in a white flannel suit, silver shirt and gold colored tie hurried in” (89). From this point Daisy and Gatsby began to see each other. In the book, all of the visits were not described, but it was definitely implied. “Tom was evidently perturbed at Daisys running around alone, for on the following Saturday night he came with her to Gatsbys party” (Fitzgerald110). There were many scenes in the movie of Nick and Daisy having tea together, and going to town together. The relationship was described in both the novel and the movie, but it was elaborated more in the movie version. The elaboration gave the movie more of a twist of a much messed up situation of an affair. This was just a small part of the relationship of Gatsby and Daisy that was contrasting in the film with comparison to the book.
Another item up for discussion is that of the narrator. This subject that is depicted through the lines of the character like the above topic but is realized as the story is coming from other characters. The narrator played by Nick was complete from start to finish in the book. In the movie there are conflicts in the narrative voice. “In the first half of the movie Nick was the narrator and then as the movie progressed, the camera slowly became the narrator.”(Scheuer) During Gatsby’s and Daisy’s affair, the camera was the one who narrated all of that, whereas in the novel Nick had to rely on Jordan or even Gatsby himself to find out about the events that went on when he wasn’t around, and these accounts were sometimes biased. The accounts made the storyline interesting to see what exactly was going to happen next. Deception and the ability of people to manipulate

For some reason, I had to think if there was a lot of deception to keep the readers in the dark about what happened that would be the case here. The author, even though he did not have the time to write the story in that time period, did, however, put his own spin on it. и завей бриствий на ровотове (Ch. 5, 4) чест вытерюще. мострипу? выстрипу? се сентазланые. гриы-болько пристующестур? выполи ?
