freakin love these vids because im too lazy to even read the summary

[@jenniferashley99]

just reread this book..such a great book!

[@nosoupforyoukramada7005]

This book was great. I probably won't read it again (lol) but I like the message the author sends through the characters.

[@PufferFish31]

gatsby is from north dakota not minnesota

[@kellypage5054]

you can't repeat the past

[@bohnbaratheon1695]

Why of course you can, old sport.

[@daniellevinson6975]

@Kelly Page That's one of the major points to the story.

[@subashsubedi3110]

Watching this video after reading book is just awesome.

[@hannahmilhet1350]

nick is from minnesota, not gatsby

[@catguy5425]

"Hardly anyone afternoon his funeral." 😅I kinda love how dismissive that line was, even though Gatsby's father showed up.

[@petersonlafollette3521]

Sounds typical- often there is human themes of sadness, violence, tragedy, catastrophe, with the ultra wealthy. Example- Kennedy's.

[@petersonlafollette3521]

And widespread dishonesty- Fitzgerald Warns: "Jordan Baker instinctively avoided clever, shrewd men, and now I saw that this was because she felt safer on a plane where any divergence from a code would be thought impossible. She was incurably dishonest."

[@covielloclown]

The greatest novel of all time.

[@WolffangXV]

Question: what if George wasn't the one to kill gatsby? What if some one else got there first, killing George later? Just for arguments sake, Tom and Daisy leave almost immediately afterwards. Daisy isn't even em seen again in the novel.

[@j3e125]

A better question is what'd happen when Gatsby accepts that Daisy no longer loves him. Fitzgerald perfectly voided that; it's for the afterthought.

[@wilhels.7986]

Julian Escobedo He probably woulda killed himself I guess, lose lose situation

[@95jrh]

Gatsby was born in North Dakota, Nick was from Minnesota

[@sahilkhurana_]

HOW CAN THEY POSSIBLY MISS OUT THE GREEN LIGHT!!

[@adriancruzschiffer]

Well it's mentioned in their video summary of the novel itself, this one mainly focuses on Gatsby and his character arc... but yeah it probably should be mentioned here nonetheless.

[@Maria-ml6hh]

thank u for posting this ! you are a life saver

[@srmcriclesinthenight9317]

I did a review of this book on my channel. I really liked it

[@MezzoPiano1234]

thanks this is really useful to understand the story better! btw 3:40 it says daisy's driving but in the picture, gatsby is driving lol

[@daniellevinson6975]

Another mistake I noticed is that Daisy's depicted as a blonde when Jordan was the one with "autumn-leaf-yellow" hair. (The book also mentions Daisy's "wet, dark hair" when she arrives at Nick's home to meet with Gatsby.)

[@aubriskinner8730]

I laughed out loud at “and sort of loves her husband.”

[@SMalik86]

Lovely story.

[@NicoleArrage]

This would've been of great use to me if only I had found it last year :(

[@0Slasher0]

If I can recall, Gatsby and Daisy are driving Tom's car because when they left they has switched cars. So when they kill Myrtle it's with Tom's car, then Gatsby has it restored and gives it back to Tom, then Tom says it's Gatsby's car. I think.... BUT This was extremely useful and I love the pictures

[@rajarahulshukla]

Nice novel Good explanation👌

[@RelaxingMusicfortheneed]

thats the point of watching the video, To know what is this all about

[@Ship-security]

If Gatsby didn’t finish college and had no money, how did he gain an officer commission, let alone get promoted all the way up to major in a short amount of time?

[@ingwerwachtel]

danke!

[@kifkowski]

4:20 Barney Stinson?

[@catguy5425]

Doesn't Gatz save Cody?

[@kkatia121]

Yes. Gatz advised Cody from a coming storm when Cody was in the yacht and Gatz was fishing (that was his job after he quit as a janitor in the Uni: a fisherman)

[@jamesfaurote5229]

Did this person actually read the book?

[@forestlink6673]

You should also know the story of the great catsby, a korean it was more good

[@randomthoughts8]

@MezzoPiano1234 no that pic is of Tom and Jordan, you can tell cuz the girl has brown hair

[@TheToryRory]

He is everything i want to be

[@therearenoshortcuts9868]

@0:41 why is the yacht from the 2000s? LOL

[@ruggiebuggie3195]

Ha. Good eye. I guess the artist used the first Google image they found.

[@icedoutelite]

The movie it was good

[@mrraytheteacher1123]

A clear example of what can happen to you if you are greedy, fixated on the past, and how it can screw you over bigtime~

[@Aport418]

Does no one see the metaphorical meaning behind all of the character??? To me the genius metaphors is what made the book so great to me!!

[@wilhels.7986]

Chikoritababy15 pls explain. I know the green light was something, but what's the metaphor?

[@madd4sims]

I really like the video, but in a way it kind of defeats the mysteriousness of Gatsby.

[@jakehalling3925]

Hello year 9 !!!!!!!

[@Rockstarmade224]

I’m the 1000th like

[@AeonX7]

i too would go to great lengths just to get the woman i love.

[@parasprodigy]

Don't be stupid... never put any girl on such a pedestal.. Be nice, but don't give too much from the get go..

[@bananian]

+Mr. P so true...I hate myself😭

[@SirEshtri]
