Not So Great Gatsby
... Those who were not at the top of the economic ladder were constantly striving to get there. ... Scott Fitzgerald’s novel, The Great Gatsby, portrays the lifestyles of the rich and famous. The narrator of the story, Nick, tells a tale of a man, Jay Gatsby, and his desire for a woman, Daisy, whom he could not obtain due to his rank in society. ... The characters in the novel, The Great Gatsby, exemplify Fitzgerald’s message of an elite group whom are self centered and careless. ... From the introduction of Tom and Daisy Buchanan, until the death of Gatsby, both of the Buchanan fit Fitzgerald’s idea of a careless wealthy crowd. ... Even though both the Buchanans did not care for anyone but themselves, Daisy illustrated this in a different way. ... It did not even faze her that a woman had recently died; she still wanted to have fun. Jordan Baker was a careless person especially when it came to her feelings towards others who were not as high on the social ladder. Jordan is a terrible driver and Nick mentions to her for the safety of everyone she should either be careful or not drive at all.
