The Great Gatsby is a 1925 novel by American writer F. Scott Fitzgerald. Set in the Jazz Age on Long Island, near New York City, the novel depicts first-person narrator Nick Carraway's interactions with mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby and Gatsby's obsession to reunite with his former lover, Daisy Buchanan.
The novel was inspired by a youthful romance Fitzgerald had with socialite Ginevra King, and the riotous parties he attended on Long Island's North Shore in 1922. Following a move to the French Riviera, Fitzgerald completed a rough draft of the novel in 1924. He submitted it to editor Maxwell Perkins, who persuaded Fitzgerald to revise the work over the following winter. After making revisions, Fitzgerald was satisfied with the text, but remained ambivalent about the book's title and considered several alternatives. Painter Francis Cugat's dust jacket art, named Celestial Eyes, greatly impressed Fitzgerald, and he incorporated its imagery into the novel.
After its publication by Scribner's in April 1925, The Great Gatsby received generally favorable reviews, though some literary critics believed it did not equal Fitzgerald's previous efforts. Compared to his earlier novels, This Side of Paradise (1920) and The Beautiful and Damned (1922), the novel was a commercial disappointment. It sold fewer than 20,000 copies by October, and Fitzgerald's hopes of a monetary windfall from the novel were unrealized. When the author died in 1940, he believed himself to be a failure and his work forgotten.
During World War II, the novel experienced an abrupt surge in popularity when the Council on Books in Wartime distributed free copies to American soldiers serving overseas. This new-found popularity launched a critical and scholarly re-examination, and the work soon became a core part of most American high school curricula and a part of American popular culture. Numerous stage and film adaptations followed in the subsequent decades.
Gatsby continues to attract popular and scholarly attention. Scholars emphasize the novel's treatment of social class, inherited versus self-made wealth, gender, race, and environmentalism, and its cynical attitude towards the American Dream. The Great Gatsby is widely considered to be a literary masterpiece and a contender for the title of the Great American Novel.
In spring 1922, Nick Carraway—a Yale alumnus from the Midwest and a World War I veteran—journeys to New York City to obtain employment as a bond salesman. He rents a bungalow in the Long Island village of West Egg, next to a luxurious estate inhabited by Jay Gatsby, an enigmatic multi-millionaire who hosts dazzling soirées yet doesn't partake in them.
One evening, Nick dines with a distant cousin, Daisy Buchanan, in the old money town of East Egg. Daisy is married to Tom Buchanan, formerly a Yale football star whom Nick knew during his college days. The couple has recently relocated from Chicago to a mansion directly across the bay from Gatsby's estate. There, N

The Great Gatsby is a 1925 novel written by American author F. Scott Fitzgerald that follows a cast of characters living in the fictional towns of West Egg and East Egg on prosperous Long Island in the summer of 1922. Many literary critics consider The Great Gatsby to be one of the greatest novels ever written.[1][2][3][4]
The story of the book primarily concerns the young and mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby and his quixotic passion and obsession to reunite with his ex-lover, the beautiful former debutante Daisy Buchanan. Considered to be Fitzgerald's magnum opus, The Great Gatsby explores themes of decadence, idealism, resistance to change, social upheaval and excess, creating a portrait of the Roaring Twenties that has been described as a cautionary[a] tale regarding the American Dream.[5][6]

Narrated Business Proposal for the Philadelphia Eaglescamrynascott12
Slide 1:
Welcome, and thank you for joining me today. We will explore a strategic proposal to enhance parking and traffic management at Lincoln Financial Field, aiming to improve the overall fan experience and operational efficiency. This comprehensive plan addresses existing challenges and leverages innovative solutions to create a smoother and more enjoyable experience for our fans.
Slide 2:
Picture this: It’s a crisp fall afternoon, driving towards Lincoln Financial Field. The atmosphere is electric—tailgaters grilling, fans in Eagles jerseys creating a sea of green and white. The air buzzes with camaraderie and anticipation. You park, join the throng, and make your way to your seat. The stadium roars as the Eagles take the field, sending chills down your spine. Each play is a thrilling dance of strategy and skill. This is what being an Eagles fan is all about—the joy, the pride, and the shared experience.
Slide 3:
But now, the day is marred by frustration. The excitement wanes as you struggle to find a parking spot. The congestion is overwhelming, and tempers flare. The delays mean you miss the pre-game excitement, the tailgate camaraderie, and even the opening kick-off. After the game, the joy of victory or the shared solace of defeat is overshadowed by the stress of navigating out of the parking lot. The gridlock, honking horns, and endless waiting drain the energy and joy from what should have been an unforgettable experience.
Our proposal aims to eliminate these frustrations, ensuring that from arrival to departure, your experience is extraordinary. Efficient parking and smooth traffic flow are key to maintaining the high spirits and excitement that make game days special.
Slide 4:
The Philadelphia Eagles are not just a premier NFL team; they are an integral part of the community, hosting games, concerts, and various events at Lincoln Financial Field. Our state-of-the-art stadium is designed to provide a world-class experience for every attendee. Whether it's the thrill of game day, the excitement of a live concert, or the camaraderie of community events, we pride ourselves on delivering a fan-first experience and maintaining operational excellence across all our activities. Our commitment to our fans and community is unwavering, and we continuously strive to enhance every aspect of their experience, ensuring they leave with unforgettable memories.
Slide 5:
Recent trends show an increasing demand for efficient event logistics. Our customer feedback has consistently highlighted frustrations with parking and traffic. Surveys indicate that a significant number of fans are dissatisfied with the current parking situation. Comparisons with other venues like Citizens Bank Park and Wells Fargo Center reveal that we lag in terms of parking efficiency and convenience. These insights underscore the urgent need for innovation to meet and exceed fan expectations.

Myrtle pulled her chair close to mine, and suddenly her warm breath poured over me
the story of her first meeting with Tom.
‘It was on the two little seats facing each other that are always the last ones left on the
train. I was going up to New York to see my sister and spend the night. He had on a
dress suit and patent leather shoes and I couldn’t keep my eyes off him but every time
he looked at me I had to pretend to be looking at the advertisement over his head. When
we came into the station he was next to me and his white shirt-front pressed against my
arm—and so I told him I’d have to call a policeman, but he knew I lied. I was so excited
that when I got into a taxi with him I didn’t hardly know I wasn’t getting into a subway
train. All I kept thinking about, over and over, was ‘You can’t live forever, you can’t
live forever.’ ‘
14. The truth was that Jay Gatsby, of West Egg, Long
Island, sprang from his Platonic conception of
himself. He was a son of God—a phrase which, if it
means anything, means just that—and he must be
about His Father’s business, the service of a vast,
vulgar, and meretricious beauty. So he invented
just the sort of Jay Gatsby that a seventeen year
old boy would be likely to invent, and to this
conception he was faithful to the end. (Ch.6 – 106)
*
Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgiastic
future that year by year recedes before us. It
eluded us then, but that’s no matter—tomorrow
we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther.
And then one fine morning—
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne
back ceaselessly into the past. (Ch.9 – 171)

15. ―I wouldn’t ask too much of her,‖ I ventured. ―You can’t repeat the past.‖
―Can’t repeat the past?‖ he cried incredulously. ―Why of course you can!‖
He looked around him wildly, as if the past were lurking here in
the shadow of his house, just out of reach of his hand.
"I thought you inherited your money."
"I did, old sport," he said automatically, "but I lost most of it in the big panic – the
panic of the war."
I think he hardly knew what he was saying, for when I asked him what business he
was in he answered, "That's my affair," before he realized that it wasn't the
appropriate reply.
"Oh, I've been in several things," he corrected himself. "I was in the drug business and
then I was in the oil business. But I'm not in either one now.―
(Ch.6 – 106)
16. I called up Daisy half an hour after we
found him, called her instinctively and
without hesitation. But she and Tom had
gone away early that afternoon, and
taken baggage with them.
"Left no address?"
"No."
"Say when they'd be back?"
"No."
"Any idea where they are? How I could
reach them?"
"I don't know. Can't say." (Ch.9 – 156)
They were careless people, Tom and
Daisy—they smashed up things and
creatures and then retreated back into
their money or their vast carelessness, or
whatever it was that kept them together,
and let other people clean up the mess
they had made. (Ch.9 – 170)

It made no difference to me. Dishonesty in a woman
is a thing you never blame deeply – I was

conversation about driving a car. It started
because she passed so close to some workmen
that our fender flicked a button on one man's
coat.

At her first big golf tournament there was a row that
nearly reached the newspapers—a suggestion
that she had moved her ball from a bad lie in the
semi-final round. The thing approached the
proportions of a scandal—then died away. A
caddy retracted his statement and the only other
witness admitted that he might have been
mistaken. The incident and the name had
remained together in my mind. (Ch.3 – 58)

Wolfsheim: ‘When a man gets killed I never like to get mixed up in it in any way. I keep out.
When I was a young man it was different—if a friend of mine died, no matter how, I stuck
with them to the end. You may think that’s sentimental but I mean it—to the bitter end.’
I saw that for some reason of his own he was determined not to come, so I stood up.
