Quotes from the Book or Movie:The Great Gatsby by F Scott Fitzgerald

864 Words2 Pages

In the book the Great Gatsby there were many events that took place. This is part of the reason as to why there are two movies made after this book. In the movies some of the quotes are the same as the book, the same as all three, or completely different from both. These quotes can be based from the book by quotes that are only in the book, quotes that are all on their own, and quotes that are in all three. Quotes that are only in the book are ones in the very beginning. Such as for example when Nick is describing East and West egg. He describes them in the book with clear detail, and he has conversations with Daisy when he goes over to the Buchanans house that are not in any of the movies. A few more examples of lines that are only on one movie and the book can be when Nick describes Chicago, and how everyone “painted their left rear tire black.” Is in the new movie and the book. In the new movie from 2013, it has Nick going to the Buchanans house and he has a conversation in Toms trophy room, and in the other movie and the book there is not even a trophy room to have a conversation in. Not only that but in the very beginning of the movie it has Nick in a mental institution and is reflects back to that later on in the movie, and throughout the book, Nick is never in a mental institution, and never has any of the conversations that he does with a doctor in the other movie, or the book. Also in the beginning of the old movie it has Nick arriving to Tom’s house by boat and Tom and him talk on the polo field. Another thing only in the new movie is when Nick has his house filled with flowers he says “I bought cakes.” Also in the old movie Nick calls his place “rackrent.” Another thing that is different in all three but... ... middle of paper ... ...e whole damn bunch put together.” Nick then has conversations with Gatsby’s father in the book and old movie, but his father is not in the new movie. These are some of the similarities between all three sources of The Great Gatsby. These are all of the quotes from The Great Gatsby that are the same, different, and almost the same. Some quotes come from only the book, other quotes come from the book and one of the movies, or both movies, or only come out of one of the movies, and some quotes are so important that they are in all three.
