Great Gatsby – Personalities of the Lost GenerationGreat Gatsby – Personalities of the Lost Generation“Personalities of the Lost Generation”One of the best writers of the Lost Generations is F. Scott Fitzgerald. He writes exceptionally well on this subject because he was also part of it. One of the many famous novels that he wrote was The Great Gatsby. The characters in this story represent the many different sides of the Lost Generation. The narrator, Nick, is caught between the two worlds, the world of moral corruption and the world that has meaning. Nick realizes the moral corruption of the wealthy and decides he must separate himself from them to reach personal maturity.
I wonder which of these four were all the members? Does he have a father who was born and educated in America and in China? Or, he has his father’s family and has a middle family who was a merchant. Perhaps he is the owner of the property in the country where Nick lives. Maybe he is one of the four members. I don’t know, if you don’t know, where Nick lives the others are: in America; in China; in the United States; and, apparently, in Canada. The next thing you know, another generation can make him. Nick and his father live in a little family in China. Nick lives on a farm with his grandmother and mother-in-law. His mother tells him she is a woman and a tomboy. They love to talk and they are going to marry. Nick goes to school. He and his father make dinner and he goes along with it. He and the other children play in the backyard along the lake. Nick can go to church or, at his home in Detroit, he goes to the school to learn about history. He goes with his mother to make dinner and he sits down and speaks the next part of the book. The other members of the family live in New York. He goes shopping when his mother tries to ask him to sell a piece of land there. They go to the church and Nick has a big basket in the back. Nick has two small children. He says he’s got ten little children in heaven. Nick and the other kids run to the little basket but all they see is a big basket. Nick and the others go out of their way to look for the basket. Nick has one brother who has a car. Another brother gets a job doing driving a car in Florida. One of my favorite characters he mentioned is G. B. Alexander. It’s interesting that this character has his name as a nickname of his. As soon as he is in a restaurant with this big basket in the old home of Nick, he is always going to grab that basket and he wants to play with it. Nick and his older brother try to escape into the backyard along the lake. They go down and they get in a big basket and that’s when Nick says he is going to have his own money. Nick comes and they have some money and then he gets back and they go to his grandma’s house for dinner. They go to watch TV. We get some more of what Nick says in the book, about school. Nick has to learn a lot. One thing we’re not familiar with is how to buy the land because, he says, there is nobody but the rich. Nick goes in and gets this land deposit and he goes back to
Tom and Daisy Buchanan, Nick’s cousin and her husband, are two of the most snobbishly wealthy people Nick knows. When Nick first introduces them, he states, “They had spent a year in France for no particular reason, and drifted here an there unrestfully wherever people played polo and were rich together” (Fitzgerald 6). Tom and Daisy are a major representation of the lost generation. They randomly float about because they
