I'm starting to read The Great Gasby by F.Scott Fitzgerald which is a very sophisticated and classic novel. It takes place in New York City and the twin villages of West Egg and East Eggg in Long Island. The main characters are Nick Carraway and Mr.Gatsby which I will begin to talk about later in my posts. At the moment the story revolves around a woman named Daisy who seems to be having troubling marriage problems.
I'm interested in also seeing the movie to see how the two compare and contrast. Although, the story does take place in 1922 I would probably change the setting to Paris during the same year because of all the attractions it has to offer. New York has a variety of unique attractions but a change up on things would be nice to here once and a while. The fashion it also has to offer would be invigorating to see especially in the early 1900s. Paris would suit perfect especially for ballroom dancing and it would be riveting to know how the stock market is there considering Nick is a stockbroker.
Great book! I re-read it last year and was able to appreciate it under a new light. Have you seen either of the movies?
ReplyDeleteSweet! I've seen the 2013 version with Leonardo Dicrapio and Carey Mulligan. I thought it was pretty solid and this Friday I'm going to see the 1974 version on Netflix and see if the two have any comparisons or differences.
