(Fitzgerald 111) His brilliant use of words allows readers to easily comprehend the events of the story and reflect on the deeper meanings of his words. Fitzgerald always says what he means to say. He obviously pities the readers, a good thought, considering that they "have to identify thousands of little marks on paper, and make sense of them immediately." (Vonnegut) His use of sentences like, “Daisy and Gatsby danced.” (Fitzgerald 105) present points in…

It was not out of the blue to use words to describe African American people that nowadays would be taken offensively and people would get hostile about. Mainly the whole purpose of using such these harmful and abusive words were to classify African Americans as objects, and not as human beings. When Nick describes the "two Bucks" and a Negro girl passing them in a horse-drawn carriage with a white chauffeur he thinks to himself "Anything can happen now that we've slid over this bridgeŠanything at allŠ" This shows how people in Fitzgerald's time reacted to free black families.…
