I watched this as a refresher because it's been a while since I read the book, and I don't have a time right now to reread it. It makes me sad, though, that so many people in the comments are watching this INSTEAD of reading the book, or saying they couldn't get through it. It's my all-time favorite novel. It's incredible. I think you all should actually go read it.
Gatbsy'sobsession with such an empty vase of a woman always bothers me. She's so awful, I dislike her a great deal. I understand she's symbolic of the "old money" club that J won't ever be welcomed to, but still, she could have thrown herself out of the Plaza hotel window in chapter 7 for all I care.
I keep coming back to this video repeatedly because of how you drew Gatsby and Nick- they’re so handsome! The art style you use is fantastic. Thank you, Schooling Online!
Now after the totality of the 5 hours I would have spent on this book (I have to read for school), my one question remains; Who THE FUCK cares about this drama story that some poor blonde teenage girl squeals about because it makes her feel like a grown-up??? Gosh, I fucking hate books.
Me: "Jay, what you had yesterday with Daisy is gone. Maybe you could have had a chance with her but you chose to uphold your oath and serve in the Great War." Gatsby: "Yes... yes... I did young buck, but I figure I could have gotten out of serving last minute." Me: "Jay, you would have been Court Martialed and thrown in prison if you pulled a stunt like that. Think you could have lived with yourself watching Daisy live free on the outside while you did hard time? Damned if I don't know what you're going through. I'm sorry to have to spell it out for you but you'll be a lot happier if you let her go." Gatsby: "Looks like the final rung on the ladder of my dream turned into a Quixotic delusion." Me: "You know Jay, there's something I wanted just as much as you wanted a life with Daisy." Gatsby: "What do you mean by that, stranger?" Me: "I too wanted to settle down and marry a woman I deeply loved. Came close, but it wasn't in the cards. Never happened, probably never will again with her and that's alright. Never looked back."
Well, I wrote that dialogue back when I was 20 and going on 37 this coming year. Recently introduced my grandmother to the book, but she failed to understand why it's a keystone of American literature like an uncultured Philistine.
@@nerdreturn9528 Wrote it as a means of catharsis to come to terms with my then Girlfriend and I breaking up. As for my grandmother and her love of movies, she's more of a Western fan with one dimensional plots and characters. She felt the book didn't have any "substance" to it.
this is how it should be taught to high schoolers. the way it’s taught to high schoolers now is very intense & reaches a very small audience of young people. this should solely be studied & analyzed to a deeper extent in college, or for english majors. reading it so many years removed from HS made me realize how many sensitive topics this book really handles, & that’s not something many 15 year olds can comprehend. i understand the complexity & juxtapositions of the theme & its tragedy in my late 20s, not as a teen. TL;DR: watch this for your great gatsby paper or project
It's not very complicated, Nick is cousins with Daisy, and that's all. They are second cousins if that means anything. And note that Nick went to Yale with Tom.

The visuals and retelling were very nicely done. This is the first time that I made it through any version of The Great Gatsby.

thank you for saving me 5 hours of my time
I swear I need a summary every time because this book can get confusing at times, thanks for the summary

So happy you appreciate our art ☺ thanks for commenting!
This was amazing!! Thank you so much for making this.
“What a bunch of rotten, careless snobs.” Hearing this in a RP accent is delicious. 🤤🧐
This isn’t RP, this is an Australian accent.
@@EmmaRawling dang it … even better though
i wish someone would make a 'modern' version (e.g. slightly change the story and set it immediately prior to 2008 or something)
Here I am second semester didn’t read the book once but the summary finna pull me through just like first semester

nice video
This video was great!!!! Thank you so much
You're very welcome. Thanks for the kind comment!

If Meyer Wolfshiem is a good friend of Gatsby; then, how could be a dishonest person?
Guess it’s a business thing, not sure if they’re close like personally or what. Given the end of the book im not 100% if that’s the case

Instead of the “young buck” change it to old sport and you’re good. :D

@@bigboss6867 wow you wrote it that long ago?? Impressive writing skills :)
@@bigboss6867 does your grandma like movies by any chance? Maybe have her watch it. If she doesn't understand, then yes, it's kinda a hopeless case.

I have been starting reading this book, for a month. However, on yesterday I finished reading The Great Gatsby Chapter 6.
I came here after listening to “Mona Lisa” by Wayne and kendrick.
Got some tests on this soon. Wish me luck!
Life saver

This my home work book to 👍🏿
I think that would be very very great idea. Because if we focus on our dream, and hard work we will become a successful.
Not all heroes wear capes
Spectacular!
thank you this was super helpful
I like your voice
Daisy could have ran over Murtle on purpose
My only issue is jordan had black hair and daisy was blonde
Very nicely done

Amazing
Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏🙏👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Nick is gay frfr
My summer homework is assigned to read this book
Same bro
the plot is so much more underwhelming than I thought it'd be...
thank you
I don't get this second and third cousin thing.
It's not very complicated, Nick is cousins with Daisy, and that's all. They are second cousins if that means anything. And note that Nick went to Yale with Tom.
It’s so hard to listen to this voice. The intonation… 💀
Buchanans are 🤮
It’s rich people stuff fr fr, they were born rich and ignorant. Not really knowing or dealing with the consequences of their actions
