Chapter 3 gatsby notes

Fiction is the lie that tells the truth Displacement-a Character who's out of place Anachronism-a person who's out of time Quotation sometimes shows sarcasm If I was at the party I'd be looking around to try and greet gatsby. I'd try to meet and find what his interests are and how one can be so popular yet so unknown.

Gatsby notes 1/27

- dogs cost $10 - Toms a douche - Tom spoils myrtle - Myrtle acts above everybody else - Toms an alcoholic with problems - Mrs McKee is a racist -

Great Gatsby Remix Vol. 1

The story talks About a man named nick how he moved in ny and his home is on the west egg.he goes visiting his cousin daisy & her mans tom Buchanan. Toms a racist douche who is strong internally & externally. Then the author shows us that these rich unhappy people only care about themselves & are boring. We know cause daisy has talked about the butlers nose more than her actual baby. "I hope she'll be a fool that's the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool" That's what daisy says about her daughter. Also once nick leaves he sees gatsby for the first time & then he disappears into the dark water.

I wonder what kind of genres the future will study when they look back today. Like I think a new genre today is memes. They happen all over the internet and there's one for almost any event or anything with a significant cause. Like back then modernism saw the world as new and confusing. Today in date they use memes as a way to make others laugh or show what happened with a simple image with or without a caption. Some people might think this is a joke but I'm being a 100% serious . If you look at the definition of a genre it means a creative work that's unique to its time or place. Memes fall into that category, but I guess it all depends on who's perspective we're looking through. Who would've known realism, modernism, and naturilism could branch off into today's memes.

Great gatsby notes

-He defined himself by writing -He  wrote the book for pleasure -he was an alcoholic but hard worker -took 3 years to write the great gatsby -he wrote the book for the youth not for school -epigraph-the quote that comes in beginning of a chapter or book and gives us a clue of what's to come -what keeps pulling gatsby? -the idea of marriage began as property -2 old friends whom I scarcely knew -tom Buchanan was a manly strong guy even on the inside

Everything's a remix

-Remix started in hip hop -Anybody can remix anything -Remix-arrangement and transformation of samples -A transformation consists of making something new or editing -Everything out today is a remix because someone borrowed the idea and added their own sauce to it -when people think of creativity they imagine a light bulb above their head -for example Thomas Edison did not create the light bulb he added his own sauce and made it better -Ideas are a property I honestly think it's pretty cool how almost everything is an idea and people adding their sauce to it and making it unique. Like they say imitation is a form of flattery.

Music as literature

Music is literature. The difference between a rap song, an opera, a poem,and a novel is probably the audience towards who the artist/author is targeting. They all are literature because the author of it wrote it and it's art. They're basically the same thing it's just different ways to express yourself and they all help you paint a picture in your head and speak to you some way.

Genesis the background of my BQ

Well it started when you asked us what you do you wanna know ? So many thoughts came to mind but this one stood out because the curiosity was killing me. Then I thought who organized the alphabet in alphabetical order? It's kind of not a serious big question but I truly wanted to know. The problem I'm having is finding the true origin of the alphabet but there's different answers. Due to letters being added and being lost. Most theories point to Egyptian hieroglyphics because they started it and then everybody kept adding there own letters and making I there own language.My big question matters to me because I want to know the origin of what's being taught in kindergarten all over America. Also it's like a pretty cool thing to know like not many people would know who organized the alphabet in alphabetical order. It should matter to the world to because they should know the origin how their alphabet was adapted from the original hieroglyphics.
