Times change

I think that us relating class from today to the time when The Great Gatsby took place doesnt even make sense. The decades in between the two time periods have soo much change in them its unreal. I think that the value of money and the habits of people in both times are so significantly different that argueing and relating class values between the two doesnt make sense. Along with this, i think that even analyzing colors and certain words doesnt coerrelate with today. I think that sometimes it can, sometimes secret meanings and hidden messages in books that are more than 50 years old mean the same thing they do today, but a lot of times the author of that time period meant somehting completely different. Similar to things being lost in translation, i think things can be just as easily lost in time and the way books are analyzed and what is considered right and wrong has to do with the time period and nothing else.
