ABSTRACT

On The Great Gatsby in English

ZhangChen

Francis Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940), the famous American writer in the first half of the twentieth century, is regarded as the spokesman for “the Lost Generation” in American literature. In 1925, The Great Gatsby was published, which is thought to be one of the best works of Fitzgerald, offering a vivid picture about American life in the 1920s.

The Great Gatsby is a symbolic disintegration of the American dream in an era of moral waste and decay and the lack of personal responsibility. In this novel,Fitzgerald discusses a variety of themes, such as justice, power, greed, and the American dream, which many Chinese and foreign scholars have analyzed. This paper focuses on the roots of the withering of Gatsby?s American dream in The Great Gatsby by means of an analysis on creation background and hero?s characters, and aims at making people understand this novel more deeply, building a right and healthy moral value.

Through analyzing, we can see that there are three factors lead to Gatsby?s tragedy. First, Gatsb y?s dream contains some limitations and contradictory aspects, so it cannot exist in the cruel society. Secondly, Gatsby?s innocence and naivety make him out of the upper class. Gatsby is not their opponent in the corrupted American society. Finally, compared with Gatsby, there are too much selfish and immoral people and behaviors in this unequal society.

中文摘要

弗·司各特·菲茨杰拉德(1896-1940)是二十世纪初美国著名作家,被认为是美国文学中“迷惘一代”的代言人。一九二五年,他出版了代表作《了不起的盖茨比》。这部小说被公认为是他最优秀的作品, 向人们生动的展示了二十世纪九十年代的美国社会。《了不起的盖茨比》描述了在一个道德沦丧和颓废以及个人责任感缺乏的社会里美国梦的破灭。本文着重分析《了不起的盖茨比》中盖茨比美国梦破灭的根源。在这部小说中,菲茨杰拉德探讨了众多发人深思的话题,如公平,权利,贪婪以及美国梦。国内外的学者们对小说中的这些主题都做了深入研究。本文通过对创作背景以及主人公的性格分析来探索盖茨比美国梦破灭的必然性。从而使人们加深对小说的理解,并且树立起正确且健康的道德观念。透过分析,本文总结出了导致盖茨比悲剧的三个因素。第一,盖茨比的美国梦夹杂着一些不可避免的局限和矛盾,这些局限和矛盾不可能在这残酷的世界中得到解决。第二,盖茨比无知,天真的性格使他隔绝于上流社会。在腐败的美国社会中,盖茨比无法成为他们的对手,更不可能实现自己的理想。最后,对于盖茨比而言,社会上充满了自私和不道德的人或者行为。

I. Introduction

1.1.A brief introduction to the Jazz Age

the Jazz Age is referred to the age of World War Ⅰ,which is from 1914 to 1918. Although the war brought a great calamity to the countries around Europe, the economy in America really had a great prosperity after the war. Traditional morality, traditional belief and traditional religion collapsed instantly. People poured into cinema, indulged themselves into buying luxuries and worship the movie idol. F. Scott. Fitzgerald properly called this period the Jazz Age. This novel is telling us a story about an idealist chasing his dream but finally losing his dream.

1.2.A brief introduction to the novel

This novel is narrated by Nick, is a young bachelor who returns to the Midwest before setting to the New York City. Daisy, the heroine, is Nick?s second cousin once removed and Nick knows of her husband, Tom. With the development of the novel, Nick knows that his next-door neighbor, who always hosting lavish parties of hundreds of peoples, is the wealthy Gatsby. Jordon Baker, takes interests in Nick, reveals that Gatsby had fallen in love with Daisy in 1917 as Army Lieutenant stationed near Daisy?s hometown. But Gatsby had no money to married Daisy, so Daisy married to the wealthy Tom, after that Gatsby is aiming to be a millionaire. With few years of illegal traffic and smuggling, he accumulates a great amount of wealth. He would like Nick to arrange a meeting with Daisy, Nick agrees. And invite Gatsby and Daisy to his house, so they begin a love affair again. But actually, Daisy only treats this relationship as an exciting game. Daisy invites Gatsby and Nick to her mansion, where Tom finds that Gatsby loves Daisy. Tom knows Daisy?s superficial nature very well and by taking

away Daisy?s financial security, with that Daisy is now beyond his reach. With the situation between them, Daisy runs out of the hotel and Gatsby follows her into his car, where she insists on driving because it will calm her nerves. But it fells that Daisy knocks down and kills Myrtle, Tom?s mistress. Gatsby absolve Daisy from her guilty to protect her. After that Tom talks into Myrtle?s husband to shoot Gatsby dead. So the magic bubble of love and dreams broke up. Despite Nick?s efforts, only Gatsby?s father, an woman and Nick attends his funeral. Discussed with Tom and Daisy, Nick returns to his hometown, reflecting on Gatsby?s dreams and cyclical nature of the past.

II. The Author’s Life

Fitzgerald’s Life and Career

Francis Scott Fitzgerald was a Jazz Age novelist and short story writer who left behind him 5 novels, 178 short stories, numerous essays and plays. French critic Jacques Vallette thinks highly of Fitzgerald, calling him “the soul of America.”

Fitzgerald was born on September 24, 1896, in an Irish family in St. Paul, Minnesota. He grew up in the staid American middle west, but his life and writings are related with the fashionable East Coast. In 1913, he went to Princeton University. Because of academic difficulties he left college in 1917, and then enlisted in the army as a lieutenant at a staff headquarters. In 1920, he finished and published his first novel, This side of Paradise, which was a tremendous and commercial success. In April 1921 Fitzgerald and Zelda were married and settled on Long Island in 1922. He supported their life by doing the job as a hack writer, contributing short stories frequently to the journals, such as the popular Saturday Evening Post and the critical Scribner’s. During these years, Fitzgerald published his second novel, The Beautiful and the Damned (1922)and some short stories. However, Fitzgerald felt that there was little progress since then. Some people criticized that his works were lack of intellectual sophistication and immaturity, especially in relation to ideas. He wanted to write “something new—something extraordinary and beautiful and simple and intricately

patterned.” (Bruccoli, 1991: 170) Thanks to Joseph Conrad, it was his writing that greatly encouraged Fitzgerald in the way of creation. It made Fitzgerald clear that, as an artist, his power had nothing to do with how brilliant a mind he had and how deep he thought. For Conrad the sources of aesthetic power rooted in the individual self. The charm of artist is not to our wisdom or ideas, but to our enduring “capacity for delight and wonder, to the sense of mystery surrounding our lives; to our sense of pity, beauty, and pain…” (Andrew Hook, 1992: 3) Inspired by Conrad, Fitzgerald published some works in the following years, such as The Great Gatsby in 1925, Tender is the Night in 1934. His last work, the Hollywood novel The Last Tycoon (1941), was left unfinished at his death.

III. The American Dream

3.1 Origins of the American Dream

The American dream arose in the colonial period and developed in the 19th century. The First World War led to the switch of the world?s order, each participated country got seriously wounded more or less, except the United States of which mainland was not involved in the war. Americans made a large amount of money by selling munitions and became the richest country in the world. America was determined to concentrate on economic growth, technological development, and commercial expansion. Wei Qian believes that mass production, mass consumption, and mass leisure became essential to economic and cultural life and were soon to dominate the nation?s culture and institutions. (Wei Qian, 2006:12) At that time, people felt that money was everywhere, and everyone also had opportunity to earn them.

The old values in society were breaking down and great changes happened among the new generation. Thousands of Americans speculated and gambled on the stock market and many new millionaires were born over night. So there emerged a group people. They just chased a material well-being life and a more capitalistic and materialistic attitude but lack of spiritual pursuit. In 20th century, historian James

Truslow Adams expounded the American dream in detail in his book Epic of America (1931), which popularized the American dream to all of the Americans. As to ordinary Americans, the American dream is a power that can bring any kind of fulfillment, no matter the spiritual or the material in the world.

3.2Essence of the American Dream

It is said that the American dream is a kind of life which should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement. To Li Hongwen, for some, the American dream is a chance to build a successful business and become a millionaire. For others, the American dream is from the log cabin to the White House. For still other people, the American dream is the ladder from the rags to the riches. (Li Hongwen, 2002:15) Actually, the American dream is a state of mind. It seems to be the geographic space and physical freedom. One's efforts allows one to succeed independently while providing an improved future for one's children and making a contribution to the world that one can be proud of.

The American dream exists because people live in a nation founded on certain extraordinary principles. The great majority of Americans take them for granted. Every American knows that they are especially lucky to live in a land where they have an enduring right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. While almost them are very clear about what life and liberty mean, however, there is some confusion about the pursuit of happiness. And it's that misunderstanding which causes them to misunderstand the American dream. In most America ns? eyes, what the American dream promises is not a right to happiness, but a right to achieve it on one?s own.

3.3 Gatsby’s Dream

The Great Gatsby, setting in 1920, a time period when many people searching for wealth by no means, is about the American Dream and the downfall of those who attempt to reach the illusionary goals.American Dream means that American is place full of infinite possibilities in which everyone has the opportunity to succeed.Wealth,

material possessions, and power are the core values of “The American Dream.” For many Americans, the dream is based solely upon reaching a higher standard of living.Gatsby is one of those Americans who live his whole life in pursuit of wealth and power.But his American Dream is not really material possession.He only comes into riches so that he can fulfill his true American Dream-Daisy.

IV. Reasons for the Disillusionment of Dreams In the novel, Gatsby?s American Dream is not material possession. He only comes into riches so that he can fulfill his true dream---- to reunite with Daisy. However, his pursuit for love eventually turns out to be irony, making him losing everything even at the cost of his life. There are many reasons resulting in his destiny, mainly the social factor and he himself.

First, the social factor. The novel has deeply exposed American people?s total depravity as well as cruelty in the materialism society of 1920s. For money and status, Daisy left Gatsby and married Tom; for money and status, she had an affair with Gatsby again; for money and status, she finally abandonned Gatsby once more. Ironically, while Daisy caused the car accident, it was Gatsby who took the responsibility and was even killed by Mr. Wilson.However, when Gatsby?s cold dead body was still lying in the water of pool, Daisy, the selfish woman, had already gone out for travel with her husband, leaving other people to “clean up the mess they made”. It was also quite bleak that there were very few people including Nick and old Gatz attending Gatsby?s funeral. Daisy, whom Gatsby devoted himself to, “hadn?t sent a message or a flower”at all. None of his parasites appeared on his funeral, either. All of this showed the cruelty of that materialism society.

Second, self factor. Gatsby lived in a world where money took priority over moral integrity, which impacted negatively on Gatsby. In the past, Gatsby had an love affair with the affluent Daisy. But they separated because of the difference in their social status. Then Gatsby started to amass wealth. In the process of seeking for money and status, Gatsby began his evil business. To be rich, he engaged in criminal activities. Through his dealings with organized crimes, it could be seen that he did not adhere to the American Dream guidelines. So his American Dream was doomed to failure. In addition, Gatsby was blinded due to his ideal love for Daisy. Actually, Daisy was far from the idealistic figure in Gatsby?s mind. She was a realistic woman, attracted by substantial things—money and solid social status. However, because of his blinded love, Gatsby could not realize the true essence of Daisy, though he saw through that “her voice is full of money”. Even if they could live together, Gatsby would have been disillusioned.

V. My viewpoints on the novel

Gatsby’s dream-to gets his lost love back

The hero Gatsby is a completely character comes up from the bottom of society with his own struggle and efforts, and finally wins the great economic success with his smart brain and hard working. On the contrary, he looks down upon his parents, and neglects the upper-class?s hypocritical essence. That?s because he don?t know what money?s use is and don?t realize the difference between his huge fortune overnight by dirty means and Tom?s inherit property. Except the wealth and status, he also doesn?t realize Daisy vanity and keep treating her as a symbolic of dream and direction.

VI. Conclusion

Fitzgerald expressed his sadness to the Lost Generation by describing a series of tragedies successfully in The Great Gatsby which reflects the social reality of that age. The hero, Gatsby, is an individual living in that period, who lives a poor life in youth. In Gatsby?s eyes, the world is material without real and love. The distorted pursuit of material and social success is doomed to failure. Gatsby tries to change the world of material into the ideal world of their fantasy. With his great efforts, he gains wealth, proving his success. But, the dream they are chasing is vast, naive, and impractical. It is a fairy tale which never comes true in the greedy society. Facing the relentless reality, both Gatsby and his dream are just buried in this heartless land. His personal experience is the realization of the American dream.

The Great Gatsby shows all of the American experience in the 1920s, criticizes the society that money ranks first and people only care themselves. Through an interpretive analysis of the social background of the American 1920s and characters of the heroes, we have concluded that there are three roots of Gatsby?s failure. First, because Gatsby?s dream, as the American dream, contain some limitations and contradictory aspects, it cannot survive in the rigid reality. Secondly, we can see Gatsby?s self-destructive potentials——innocence and naivety from his idealism or romanticism. Finally, compared with Gatsby, there are too much selfish and immoral people and behaviors in

this unequal society. Gatsby?s innocence and naivety is doomed to failure in the corrupted American society. Therefore, Gatsby?s tragedy is inevi table in that age, and Gatsby?s tragedy also indicates the disillusionment of the American dream.

One of the reasons why it is still popular now although it has been over eighty years since it was first published is the spirit of Gatsby which inspires the young generation to pursue their dreams. In order to make his dream come true, Gatsby is so brave, tough and persistent. No matter what difficulties he faces, he never gives up to chase his dream. Dream is one of the most important things in our life, which guides the way of life. When we meet some barriers on our study or work, Gatsby?s passion stimulates us to surpass ourselves. It pushes us to make the dream come true. On the other hand, Gatsby?s tragedy also gives us some revelations. Dream should be established on reality. Once our dream is far from the actuality, it cannot come true yet. Therefore, before drawing a blueprint for our future, we must clear what we want to do and what we can do.

VI. My Feelings

From this novel I concluded that one do esn?t have to get rich to be happy. Just as the few words in the Chapter one said: “In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I?ve been turning over in my mind ever since. …Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone,? he told me, …just remember that all the people in this world haven?t had the advantages that you have had.? Becoming wealth is not the most important in love affair, and large wealth cannot be obtained dishonesty. After Gatsby died, his dreams broke up and none of his so-called friends have come to his funeral, and even Daisy has gone abroad with Tom. Above all, we must know the people we really love and make sure whether he or she loves you or some material luxury and mone.

“人与社会”话题素材之“和谐”篇

“人与社会”话题素材之“和谐”篇 格言妙句 亲善产生幸福,文明带来和谐。——雨果 二、经典故事:让生命与生命更近些 花园里有朵玫瑰花,边上有只青蛙,玫瑰认为青蛙很丑陋,就把它赶走了。可过了几天,青蛙再来到花园发现玫瑰花已经枯萎了。原来没有了青蛙吞食害虫,玫瑰花也就失去 了保护。 素材解读:人活在世界上面对着三个东西:一是自己,二是社会,三是自然。和谐就是在人与人、人与社会、人与自然的关系中实现的。花与蛙,看似不和谐的存在,而彼此依存,丑陋蛙靠吃害虫为生,花才得以健康灿烂。和谐就是看起来不协调的协调。 三、人物事例:包容才有和谐 北京市委书记刘淇在中共北京市第十届委员会第一次会议上说:建设繁荣、文明、和谐、宜居的首善之区,关键在市委,首先在常委会班子。要建立和谐包容的同志关系,包容才有和谐,尊重才能包容,相互包容,和谐共事,才能干事。 这段话最精彩的就是“包容”二字,点到了“和谐”的实质。根据刘书记的“包容论”,我是不是可以再作进一步理解呢?或者,不要把刘书记的理论只局限在领导干部相处 的关系范围内,要推而广之,这样整个 社会才能和谐。比如,政府部门在决定做一件事情之前,为了能“和”,最好先跟老百姓“谐”一下,比如出租车涨价,飞机票涨价,兴建化工厂之类的。再更进一步理解,“和 谐”意味这不是一种事物的和谐,两种 以上的事物在一起才叫和谐,只有一种事物存在的它跟谁“和”去呀?更谈不上“谐”了。 当多种事物共存的时候,才叫“和谐”,才有包容。 素材解读:以人为本,以人的基本需求的满足为本,以人的幸福生活为本,这是和谐之道的本质。和谐并不是整齐划一。八音齐鸣才能奏出美妙的音乐,五彩缤纷才能绘就优美的图卷。和谐社会就是和而不同的社会,承认差异,尊重不同,不同而不相害,相互尊重,相互容忍,让每个人各得其所,同时又享有共同的人格尊严。 “人与自然”素材之“认识自然”篇 一、经典故事:为生命画一片树叶 美国作家欧·亨利在他的小说《最后一片叶子》里讲了个故事:病房里,一个生命垂危的病人从房间里看见窗外的一棵树,叶子在秋风中一片片地掉落下来。病人望着眼前的萧萧落叶,身体也随之每况愈下,一天不如一天。她说:“当树叶全部掉光时,我也就要死了。”一位老画家得知后,用彩笔画了一片叶脉青翠的树叶挂在树枝上。最后一片叶子始终没掉下来。只因为生命中的这片绿,病人竟奇迹般地活了下来。 素材解读:自然界能给人类带来希望,人们应该学会从大自然中汲取力量,故事中小女孩的故事就充分说明了这一点。大自然告诉我们,只要心存希望,总有奇迹发生。 “ 1、每个人都争取一个完满的人生。然而,自古及今,海内海外,一个百分之百完满的人生是没有的。所以我说,不完满才是人生。 2、根据我个人的观察,对世界上绝大多数人来说,人生一无意义,二无价值。

作文之人与社会篇 几千年来,文化的积淀没能在我们这一辈上体现,这是中国文化的悲哀,是炎黄子孙的悲哀。许许多多不文明的现象不仅是中国文化在发展到今天对素质教育冷漠忽视的结果,更是国民对中国曾经礼仪之邦历史了解的缺乏。 社会主义核心价值观——文明、自由、法治 【文明礼仪】 1.礼者,人道之极也。——荀子 2.不学礼,无以立。——《论语》 3.礼,经国家,定社稷,序民人,利后嗣。——《左传》 4.礼义廉耻,国之四维,四维不张,国乃灭亡。——《管子》 5.衣食以厚民生,礼义以养其心。——元许衡 6.礼貌经常可以替代最高贵的感情。——梅里美 7.礼貌是最容易做到的事,也是最珍贵的东西。——冈察尔 8.蜜蜂从花中啜蜜,离开时营营的道谢。浮夸的蝴蝶却相信花是应该向他道谢的。——泰戈尔 9、生命是短促的,然而尽管如此,人们还是有时间讲究礼仪——爱献生 10、礼仪是在他的一切别种美德之上加上一层藻饰,使它们对他具有效用,去为他获得一切和他接近的人的尊重与好感。——洛克 【运用思路】 文明礼貌是一个人基本素质的外在表现,一个人如果举止粗鲁,就很令人厌烦。我国被称为“礼仪之绑”,更应该时时处处讲文明,将礼貌,做个现代社会的文明人。 【精彩素材1】最高礼仪 十年前的税务部门更多的强调执法,而文明服务是相对弱化的,税务人员更多的时候是以管人的姿态出现。为了改变这一局面,海淀地税局把开展职业礼仪教育,渗透到税务干部在窗口的一言一行之中。作为全国巾帼文明岗、北京市青年文明号的学院路税务所率先提出了“我们多说一句话,纳税人少跑一次路;我们多一分微笑,纳税人少一分紧张;我们多一分解释,纳税人少一分误会;我们多一分勤快,纳税人少一分等待”的“四多四少”服务理念。现如今,税务人员着装整齐,在电脑前轻轻的敲击着键盘,对前来办税的纳税人,服务规范,态度平和,笑脸相迎、轻声细语。正如海淀地税局负责人所说:“纳税人满意是地税人追求的最高礼仪。” 【素材点拨】 随着社会化分工的更加细密,各行各业的职业礼仪成了展示行业服务的窗口,也是一个社会文明程度的重要标志。现代社会更是把职业礼仪看作一个人素质的体现,为此我们要把文明礼仪作为我们人生的重要一课来不断学习,不断完善。 【精彩素材2】始终微笑待客 美国的希尔顿旅馆是世界上最大的旅馆之一。在他们的职工手册中有一个严格的要求:不管你多么辛劳,请始终向旅客保持礼貌的微笑。公司总经理康希?希尔顿认为:“旅馆服务员美的微笑,正像花园里的阳光和春风。”他说:“如果让他选择,他宁愿住进虽然只有残旧地毯,却微笑服务的旅馆。而不会去一流设施却看不见微笑的地方”他检查工作时,向员工问得最多的一句话就是:“今天你微笑了吗?”。正是凭借着良好的服务,希尔顿旅馆获得了巨大的成功。现在它的事业已经扩大到五大洲,在全球有200多家分店。“微笑服务”成了希尔顿旅馆的“发家宝”之一。 【素材点拨】有时候一个小小的微笑就会使事情发生巨大的变化,良言一句三冬暖,恶语伤人六月寒。一个小小的细节可能就关系着事情的成败。 【适用话题】“微笑”“成功的背后”“服务”“文明礼仪”等。 【作文题目一】针对城市街头大家已经见惯不怪的行人闯红灯的现象,温州企业刚刚开发一款“斑马线智能护栏”并且投入使用,据说效果不错,被人称作“斑马线神器”,他能随红绿灯自动地升降,对行人过马路进行强制化管理。 这一做法引起市民的热议,赞成者认为阻止市民闯红灯需要这样的“神器”,反对者认为这种做法是对市民的一种羞辱。 市民热议“斑马线神器”给了你怎样的思考?自拟标题,自选文体(诗歌除外)不少于800字。 【范文展示】无奈的神器 红绿灯的设置初衷,是为了所有出行人安全有序,你的红灯,是他们的绿灯,同样,他们的红灯,也是你的绿灯,本是秩序与权力的互换,但你如果从一己小利出发,无视红灯的存在,那便是对公共秩序的践踏,假如这种践踏突破了底线,别说“智能护栏”,就是再坚固的设备,也会“灰飞烟灭”。(由实到虚,亮出观点) 我们不禁想象一幅画面:有路口处,必有“神器”,被“圈养”的行人,有节律的走走停停,停停走走,还有大声喧哗者,每人须佩戴“智能消音器”;还有随地吐痰者,每人要装备“智能反痰机”,所谓“人”高一尺,“器”高一丈。这到底是“智”的胜利,还是“德”的溃败?此类“神器”的诞生,羞辱的不止是市民,它折射出的是管理的无奈、法规的失位和公德之殇。(由实到虚,亮出观点)一个文明社会诞生和培养的,不是子民、庶民、黎民,更不是臣民、顺民、暴民,而是知礼守信、律己爱群的公民,这些公民不但要适应这个国度,更要与世界对话,和国际接轨。(内容上的深度和对举句式体现出语言的张力) 所以,如果连过已经设置好红绿灯马路都需要以如此手段强制管理的话,我们不禁要问,这是在建设公共社会,还是在构建奴隶之邦? “南开之父”张伯苓先生,在上世纪初叶就把“贫、弱、愚、散、私”,归纳为“民族五病”,百年已过,“贫”与“弱”有所改善,但这“散”与“私”,仍盘根错节的驻扎在许多人心里,趋利避害乃人之常情,无可厚非,但极端的个人本位主义,会导致屡见不鲜的违章违法,见利忘义,突破底线,甚至无所不为,会时时冒出“明天就是世界末日”的气象来。(回根溯源,阐述原因)在社会转型期,交通无序仅是冰山一角,要想根治社会上的诸多乱象,还得回首以往,眺望邻邦。(过渡段,阐述解决问题的办法)

《荒野的呼唤》主题分析 毕业论文

【标题】《荒野的呼唤》主题分析 【作者】龚琳 【关键词】适者生存;人性;自然主义 【指导老师】张亚军 【专业】英语 【正文】 I. Introduction Before there was Hemingway, Steinbeck, Kerouac, and Mailer, there was Jack London. Perhaps no other American writer led a life as exciting as that described in his fiction. Born in San Francisco to an unwed mother from a wealthy background. Jack London grew up in the slum area of Oakland, California, a place which he later called “the cellar of society.” Born out of wedlock on January 12, 1876, he never knew his father, William Henry Chaney, who had left Jack’s mother, Flora Wellman, before Jack’s birth. On September 7, 1876, Flora Wellman married John London, from whom her son Jack took his name. By the age of fifteen, London had turned delinquent. Barely seventeen, he signed aboard the schooner Sophie Sutherland, bound for Japan and the Bering Sea. Returning from the voyage in 1894, London began to be interested in the plight of the underprivileged and working classes, so he joined a group of militant workers who were going to Washington to protest the wretched working conditions in the country, caused by the Depression of 1894. He did not reach Washington, however; he deserted this “Industrial Army” in Hannibal, Missouri, and for a time he traveled around the country as a hobo. At Niagara Falls, he was arrested for vagrancy and sentenced to the Erie County Penitentiary. He was released after thirty days, and he quickly caught the first train heading West, arriving eventually in Oakland. It was probably soon after his release from the penitentiary that London became seriously interested in politics, and as a result, he joined an Oakland branch of the Socialist Labor Party in April 1896. Then soon afterward, he enrolled as a student at the University of California at Berkeley, where he attempted to further his studies in the most influential scientific and philosophic theories of the late nineteenth century—Darwinism, Social Darwinism, Nietzscheism, and Marxism. He soon became restless, though, and he left the university during his second semester as a student. From California, he went North, to the Klondike to search for gold, and his adventures there became the basis of many stories. In fact, two of his most famous novels, The Call of the Wild and White Fang,

小说伟大的盖茨比欣赏

Comment on The Great Gatsby ---Analyses on Daisy’s tragedy F.Scott Fitzgerald is one of the most important novelists in America in the 20th century. His masterpiece, The Great Gatsby established his status as the embodiment of the spirit of the Jazz Age in American literature. The author skillfully uses his imagination to give the deeper meaning to this love tragedy: destruction of the American dreams. Besides, successfully using the double-mastered writing style, he put his own experience and the individual part of his personality into his works, interpreted the American teenagers’ common mentality and his own point of view towards the world and recurred the outlook of American Jazz Age . It is so vivid that we cannot even figure out whether it’s just a novel or a real life. As the spokesman of “the Jazz Age”, F.Scott Fitzgerald’s creation has close links with his life. The prevailing customs and ideological trend during this age have been fully embodied in his works and also influenced his creation. Being a transitional period of prosperity from tradition to modern after World War 1, the Jazz Ages saw varied women groups which are focused on money and marriage. In this age, the capitals have accumulated in a fast speed, consumer consciousness soared, people are urgent to manifest themselves immediately and do things unconventionally or unorthodoxly. In the world of old and new, the traditional convention has been shackled and been changed quickly. In a broad sense, Fitzgerald made use of jazz form of artistic expression as the metaphor to satirize the spiritual essence of this age and realize an unique artistic effect. The ladies created by F.Scott Fitzgerald are all described as a group of execrable and frivolous girls, and almost all of them are negative images. Especially in the novel---The Great Gatsby, which has the title of the annual the Jazz Age. In this book, we can see a picture of unmoral female images who are
