What is the significance of Rosy Rosenthal in The Great Gatsby?
374876
When Meyer Wolfsheim describes the murder of Rosy Rosenthal at the Metropole years before, his language, mannerisms etc., seem to indicate that he is somewhat a shady man himself gleaned from his discussion of money, guns, and gang connections.How do we know this.\nGatsby tells Nick that Meyer is the man who fixed the 1919 World Series. This is hardly the sort of man with whom a person of Gatsby's claimed background and esteem would associate with.\nNick is shocked about everything relating to Meyer Wolfsheim - due to his proper Midwestern upbringing. So he becomes curious about Gatsby's relationship to Meyer. His doubts are further aroused when Gatsby is away from the table to make a phone call; Meyer brags to the host on being quizzed by him, that he has know Gatsby for several years and he is a "man of fine breeding" and a handsome and perfect gentleman who is "very careful about women." \nThe introduction Of Rosy Rosenthal in the conversation thus gives Nick an indication that Gatsby may not be what he claims to be.

You should research how American society was et up during the 1920's and compare to the storyline, which states Gatsby's desire for the Green light and the carelessness perhaps of certain people's action such as the Car crash, leading to the main chracters' demise, which later refers to the Great Depression of the 1930's.

This is a great website for analysis of books:\n\nhttp://www.sparknotes.com/lit/gatsby/section1.html\n\nLater in the evening Tom and Daisy ask Nick about his engagement. He tells them he is not engaged, and that it is all a gossipy misunderstanding. \n\nhttp://www.homework-online.com/tgg/chap01.asp\n\nDaisy Buchanan, who happens to be Nick's second cousin and the wife of one of his Yale classmates, a wealthy former footballer named Tom Buchanan. Nick learns that the Buchanan marriage is not particularly happy...\n\nQuote from the book:\n\n“You make me feel uncivilized, Daisy,” I confessed on my second glass of corky but rather impressive claret. “Can’t you talk about crops or something?”\n\nI meant nothing in particular by this remark, but it was taken up in an unexpected way.\n\nBOTTOM LINE: Nick is re-acquainting himeself with three people who each love themselves more than anyone else in the whole world.  As he tells Daisy, he is an outsider to their clique and he is uncomfortable.

1.  Roger's beeper going off telling him to take his AZT happened at the end of the first part of "La Vie Boheme"...just before "I should tell you".\n\n2.  my guess... Mark help paid for it\n\n3.  Yess...Roger told Mimi he had AIDS at the end of the first part of "La Vie Boheme"... when his beeper went off to take his AZT.  Mimi reacted by saying, "AZT break"...making Roger know that she knows that he has AIDS.  And, when they sang at the end of "La Vie Boheme"...they were like, "Me?"  "You?"...etc., questioning whether the other has AIDS, thus revealing that Mimi also has AIDS.\n\n4.  Collins has AIDS (he says so when he first meets Angel), and MIMI does too (revealed at the end of "La Vie Boheme" and she sat in the Life Support meetings in the song "Without You".\n\n5.  The point and meaning behind the song "Today 4 you" was that a rich lady paid Angel to kill Benny's aquita (dog), Evita, which ultimately was for revenge for collins, roger, and mark.

Theme Analysis \n\n\nAlice Walker depicts Zora Neale Hurston's work as providing the \nAfrican-American literary community with its prime symbol of "racial health - a sense of black people as complete, complex, undiminished human beings" (190). Appropriately, Hurston's Their Eyes Were Watching God, published in 1937, provides an enlightening look at the journey of one of these undiminished human beings, Janie Crawford. Janie's story - based on principles of self-exploration, self-empowerment, and self-liberation - details her loss and subsequent attainment of her innocence, as she constantly learns and grows from her difficult experiences with gender issues \nand racism in Their Eyes Were Watching God. \n\nAfter joyfully discovering an archetype for sensuality and love under the pear tree at age sixteen, Janie quickly comes to understand the reality of marriage when she marries Logan Killicks, then Joe Starks. Both men attempt to coerce Janie into submission to them by treating her like a possession: where Killicks works Janie like a mule, Joe objectifies her like a medal around his neck. In addition, Janie learns that passion and love are tied to violence, as Killicks threatens to kill her, and both Joe and Tea Cake beat her to assert their dominance. Yet Janie continually struggles to keep her inner Self intact and strong, remaining resilient in spite of her husbands' \nphysical, verbal, and mental abuse. Janie's resilience is rewarded when she finally meets and marries Tea Cake, who represents the closest semblance to her youthful idealism regarding love and marriage. \nAnother male figure playing prominently in Janie's life is the white man who raped her grandmother; her lineage determines, therefore, that Janie will look whiter than other black women. This fair complexion eventually attracts the ambitious Joe Starks, yet also contributes to Joe's objectification of Janie. Yet, outward appearances aside, Janie's identity takes shape in response to the white male tyranny that made her own birth possible. \n\nFor example, Janie's husband Jody paints his house "a gloaty, sparkly white," (44) humiliates the citizens of Eatonville in similar ways as the white man would, and forces Janie into the slavish servitude reflected by the identity-confining head rag he makes her wear (51). Yet, Janie fights Joe's tyranny by telling him off just before he dies in Chapter Eight, then reclaims her own identity by burning up "every one of her head rags" (85). Similarly, Janie encounters Mrs. Turner, Hurston's symbol of internalized racism, who doesn't "blame de white folks from hating [African-Americans] 'cause Ah can't stand 'em mahself" (135). Again, however, Janie remains true \nto herself as she continues to form her own identity by refusing to leave Tea Cake and class off as Mrs. Turner suggests. \n\nRather than self-destruct under the constant realities of racism and misogyny she receives throughout her life, Janie Crawford does the opposite at the close of Their Eyes Were Watching God. The novel's final image states what Janie does throughout the story - taking her difficult past in and growing stronger and wiser as a result of it. Author Zora Neale Hurston believed that freedom "was something internal….The man himself must make his own emancipation" (189). Likewise, in her defining moment of identity formation, Janie "pulled in her horizon like a great fish-net. Pulled it from around the waist of the world and draped it over her shoulder. So much of life in its meshes! She called in her soul to come and see" (184). At the end of a novel focusing on self-revelation and self-formation, Janie survives with her soul - made resilient by continual struggle - intact.

Yes. I taught the novel for several years in high school English (10th grade). Read it. You will love it!!! It is an amazing story of a young boy coming of age in the South at the turn of the 20th Century in a small town called Cold Sassy. Bigotry, prejudice, love, acceptance, and fulfillment are among its themes. I highly recommend it to you.

Well, I don't remember if Scout actually had a fantasy about Boo Radley.\n\nAnd about Miss Gates. The book tells us that she's racist because of how she was talking about black people during the Tom Robinson trial. And while she was asking the class about democracy, she started to write the word "democracy" backwards, refering to the backwardness of the town, I think.

This book is hands down one of the best pieces of young adult literature ever written!  I loved it.  I read it once for pleasure and again for english class in eighth grade.  you should also check out the movie.\n\nPonyboy is a hero for a couple of different reasons:\n\nHe stands by Johnny after he kills the soc, and stays with him all the way through until when johnny dies in the end.  He is a hero this way because he stands by his friends through the good and the bad.  That is a great charecteristic for anyone to have.\n\nHe is also a hero because he saved the kids from burning inside the old church.  This is the biggest reason for him being a hero.\n\nThe last reason is that he went to fight in the rumble, even though he didnt feel well.  He knew that his friends needed him, and he stood by them, once again showing his great characteristic of loyalty to his friends.

Fitzgerald's description of Tom Buchanan's colossal house signifies Tom and his values. The red and white colors of the Buchanan's mansion represent Tom's personality. Red customarily exemplifies impurity and boldness, while white signifies Tom's superior attitude towards other individuals. His "red" disposition is presented by the audacity of his exposed affair with Myrtle and his "white" character is portrayed through his racist comments throughout the book. A Georgian Colonial mansion signifies Tom's racist personality due to the past history of the Southern states prejudices against African-Americans. Fitzgerald's diction of "Colonial" also expresses that Tom is old-money and was raised from a prep-school background, which alludes the reader that he is not a very open-minded character, but relies more heavily upon literary knowledge. The house is distinctly a portrayal of Tom and his bold, egotistical, racist, scholarly manner.\n\nFinally, near the books conclusion, Fitzgerald hints at his thesis with Nick's description on page 141 when Jordan, Tom and he returned from the city: "The Buchanan's house floated suddenly toward us through the dark..." Tom's facilitation of Mr. Wilson's murdering of Gatsby followed by Mr. Wilson killing himself was a post-climatic climax. This end finally made us realize the definite evil of the "Tom Buchanans" and feel wrenched emotions on behalf of Gatsby, "the poor son-of-a-bitch." While Gatsby was perhaps corrupt, what he stood for (his dream) was absolutely immaculate and genuine.

Well...they did mention "green" light in the first chapter and I think it represent dreams, jealousy and hope of Gatsby. White represent purity and goodness. Yellow represent corruption and greed. I hope that help.

I've posted a couple of URLs for your reference, and while I was looking found that it is the subject fiction for several Honors English classes and college level thesis themes.  You might try searching on the author,  Susan Carol McCarthy, for additional analysis. \n  To discuss chapter themes it looks like you are really going to have to use your imagination and deductive reasoning, which is a great way to exercise your brain!

Not only because he fell into the roses, but also because previously in the movie, when they stop playing, someone says that the game is playing itself. That means that the countess anticipated killing him, and not him falling into the roses.\n\nThe first people killed off in the movie did not die instantneously, and neither did he because his game death and real death were not done simultaneously, because, unlike the girl that died, he WAS playing the game; the game was not playing her.
