Writing Assignment For Gatsby

The Great Gatsby Writing Assignment Much like the people in the life and times of F. Scott Fitzgerald, the characters of The Great Gatsby are motivated by wealth, materialism, and status. In the novel, Jay Gatsby was rejected by Daisy because he was not from a wealthy family with high status. This is similar to Ginevra King's rejection of Fitzgerald when King's father, upon learning of his daughter's relationship, stated, "Rich girls don't marry poor boys." Unlike Fitzgerald, his character, Gatsby, went on to lead a life of crime in order to gain the wealth and status he needed in order to win Daisy’s heart. People can lead upright, hard-working lives in an effort to achieve their goals, or they can choose a more dishonest path. In your opinion, should people stop at nothing to get what they want? Your response must:  Have a clear thesis  Be organized into logical paragraphs  Use clear, relevant examples and evidence  Demonstrate a clear connection between the examples and the thesis  Be proofread for grammar, spelling, and punctuation  Be typed in MLA format  Be at least 400 words in length
