The piece of art I chose is the 1925 novel “The Great Gatsby,” written by F. Scott Fitzgerald for the research paper. This is a middle-length novel set in 1920s New York City and Long Island. It focuses on depravity, idealism, obstacles to change, and dramatic social change, and depicts the lives of people in the 1920s. This novel mainly describes Gatsby’s pursuit of love and the heroine Daisy’s entanglement, but ultimately ends in tragedy.
The reason I chose this book is that it was written in the Lost Generation, when society was generally materialistic and impatient, and in the background of those articles about crazy parties, extremely luxurious mansions, and lifestyles of fun all day long, everyone was lost in paper and gold, profit first, pleasure first, and humanity was to some extent distorted. This book is called “The Great Gatsby.” I think the greatness of Gatsby is not reflected in his fidelity to love, but in his greatness in such an era. He lived a luxurious life, but not lost in it, and he always did not forget their original intention, adhered to a goal, and remained optimistic, which is his greatness. It has a realistic and cruel ending, where the ideal will be defeated by reality. Therefore, I think it is a reflection of the great abundance of material things while the human spirit is constantly lacking.
The plot of book that you chose was pretty dramatic, but also fun to read too. It will be a nice topic for you to write about a research paper. Cannot wait to see the result coming out!
I read this book a few years back, it was pretty good and I think it would fit really well for this paper. I liked how deep you dug into who Gatsby is and how he is different.
I think the art you chose works perfectly with what you are writing on. I read the novel before and, I agree on how it touches a lot on the opulence and luxury that has come to be associated with the Roaring 20s. Therefore, contrasting this with Gatsby and his character, especially as he did have access to the opulent lifestyle but rather preferenced his goal of regaining his love, will make for an interesting paper. I can’t wait to see how your paper turns out!
The book you chose is interesting, and the choices between interests and relationships contained in it are very reflective of some of the issues of the day, and I’m looking forward to reading your article!
I remember reading this book a couple years ago and I really think there is a lot you can write about with this book. Can’t wait to see what you come up with!
