In October, adcraft food warmer the month's book in the Norwegian "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald, the U.S. presidential elections as a backdrop. Norwegian asked about Jan Vardøen if he would like to read this classic, along with Martine Aurdal and Anita Krohn Traaseth. He has written adcraft food warmer anything about their reading adcraft food warmer experience through the first six chapters. Be happy and comment, input is taken into conversation with the three at the Cultural P2 on Thursday at 14:15.
"The Great Gatsby" adcraft food warmer has been pretty high on the guilty list my time now. I have read many redeeming "the Great American Novel", but this has just escaped. It is a classic and so you can not read the one-two-tree. The longer you wait, the worse it gets, it may seem like.
I've also been a bit afraid of language: The book was written in 1926 and is not perishable more. It smells a little dust and cobwebs in the distance. But I should not have worried me, the language is fresh as a freshly caught mackerel, it literally wriggling and hops between the covers.
Fitzgerald writes masterfully, with an intelligent, elegant pen and I are constantly twists and metaphors that are innovative and sharp. It is easy to see why he has been so declared genius, he bears the words like a dandy on a commuter train.
I am now through the first six chapters and the story begins to crystallize. Fitzgerald has taken a long time to build up the setting and characters. He paints the surroundings adcraft food warmer and the time with a sobelpensel: Small, sharp movements that create instant ambience and the feeling of being in place and being able to smell and touch everything and everyone.
One is transported back to the twenty-century environment rich guy outside of New York, where bankers and liquor smugglers haunt with movie stars and sports heroes, charlatans and aspiring socialite. None of the cast is particularly sympathetic, some are directly inedible, while others, narrator Nick Carraway included, is ambiguous in this respect that I'm not sure I like any of them. Their mitigating features are mostly self-appointed.
Fitzgerald uses ridiculously long time to get down to business, that is, let's meet the main character Jay Gatsby. He is spoken of by all in different ways. We do not know if he's a war hero, assassin, businessman, heir, villain, German spy, stock market genius or upstart. adcraft food warmer This is a common way of pique the reader's interest, when we finally gets to meet the hero, it's not a moment too soon.
In chapters 4, 5 and 6, we learn something about Jay Gatsby and his instincts. He is thick with money, but we have not yet been found out where they come from. He's distance love with an old flame and he wound narrator Nick Carraway into their environment in order to get closer to her. It may seem as if his whole existence and lavish, brifete way to advertise their wealth in only has one purpose: to lure back the girl that made him so happy when he was a soldier during the First World War.
Have not read "The Great Gatsby" yourself, but someone else can share his conclusions about the book. Author John Green has namely adcraft food warmer made some very enthusiastic post about the book to correct the "watch chain, it, I read at school 'feel like the book has received among American youth.
Hey! I read TGG again this summer, after reading it several times already, and wrote about it on my blog. A friend of mine has read the book every year for over thirty years! You write very well about it. Here is what I am most agree: adcraft food warmer "ambiguous". Nothing is easy, men annexes are attractive adcraft food warmer / repulsive, the mood is bittersweet, the story superficial / tragic, false / honest ... A great classic! Hope you enjoy further
