The Great Gatsby: Final Essay Assignment In the novel The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, it gives an outsiders view point of how upper class society acts. The main character of the book, a young adult named Nick, is not used to the upper class way of living. Through his eyes you get a view point of high society’s financial, social, and even love life. Gatsby believes he is in love with Daisy and has been for many years, but when Gatsby explains to Nick all the reasons he is in love with her they don’t seem to be so true at heart.

The Party has weakened the people’s minds with “doublethink” and if their minds are weak, they can not challenge the Party.

While the party received a friendly reception, Jones said he felt like a dying man and ranted about government conspiracies and martyrdom as he decried attacks by the press and his enemies.
