The Great Gatsby's Relation to and Importance as a Work of Art - Student Pulse - 0 views

shared by Erin G on 30 Jul 11 - No Cached

artist, Howard Chandler Christy, specialized in presenting a type of a beautiful girl, the dream of any soldier, which seems to float before Gatsby (as Daisy, of course), as he must have imagined her while he was in the war (Reed 28). “Christy’s girl” seems to dream, revealing nothing of her persona but her extraordinary beauty-and thus her seemingly shallowness becomes crowned by a mysterious aura

Though this event already took place, I think it is cool to think about how Fitzgerald's work could be translated into a ballet! Neat!

Walter Biggs was an artist in the early 20th century. His paintings of women reflect the time period in which he lived, and Fitzgerald may have based his character(s) of Daisy and/or Jordan Baker off of Biggs' work.

The Roaring Twenties was alternatively known as The Jazz Age. This "movement" in which jazz music grew in popularity by immense standards in the U.S., also influenced other parts of the world. Following World War I, around 500,000 African Americans in search of better employment opportunities moved to the northern part of the United States.

The Great Gatsby takes place during the summer of 1922. Fitzgerald coined the phrase, "the Jazz Age" that same year to describe the flamboyant-"anything goes"-era that emerged in America after World War I. Find out more about the popular culture and historical events that shaped and defined the 1920s.

But book blogger Jessica Crispin thinks Ebert is overreacting. She argues that students shouldn't necessarily be deprived of a "universal" storyline just because the prose is over their heads. Besides, she says, this sort of thing has been going on for decades, with little known harm done to aspiring readers. She recalls reading young readers' adaptations of Great Expectations and A Tale of Two Cities when she was a kid

  I can see both sides here: I think that great American novels are works of art that should not be "dumbed down" or modified just so that people intimated by the difficult prose can know the story. However, I think for children reading abridged or modified versions of classics get introduced to the themes and stories in a friendly way. As Cripsin later says, this never discouraged her from reading the "real" version later when she was ready.
