The Great Gatsby
The Great Gatsby is about a time period thats not always seen in movies or read about. So far, the lifestyle and parties are intriguing and different from todays. After the first three chapters, im very excited to read on. But what im confused about is how this man is viewed as such a celebrity. I think that because of the less amount of celebrities and famous athletes as they are viewed today, that typical men can make a celebrity out of themeselves by their actions aswell as their stature. Gatsby is obviously very wealthy, but the way he walks and talks seem to be what draws the envy from the narrator. It was interesting to me how Jordan was so honored to talk to Gatsby, and how everyone is so honored by him.

I agree with you John about celebreties today. I think there are so many "famous" people today and if you think about it most of them havent done anything to deserve celeb status. For example, on VH1, Flavor of Love, I love New York, Rock of Love etc. are all shows in which people have become famous because they have been casted to date someone. If they make a drunken fool out of themselves, then they become a little more famous. I Love New York is a show in which "New York" was a dramatic psycho contestant on Flavor of Love and got her own show! Some one that crazy with NO talent dose not deserve celeebrity status!
