Guten Nachmittag
Ich habe eine Präsentation zu den Schauplätzen des Buches the great Gatsby zu schreiben:
Hier mal ein paar Infos:
First there is the West Egg. This represents all of the old money that was either earned long ago or passed down from generation to generation.
Nun werde ich meinen fokus auf die drei Schauplätze legen.
Gerne würde ich einen Vergleich zur heutigen Zeit anstellen. Habt ihr mir ein gutes Beispiel wo man das heute antrifft?
- Who (in the area where you live) would fit this description?
Also ich hätte da spontan an die Neureichen Russen gedacht, aber das ist natürlich ein weltweites Phänomen.
Steckt hinter jedem Neureichen nicht auch immer ein "Opfer" ?
Another setting is the East Egg. This is the new money where people waste, they lie, and they have no disregard for anyone but themselves.
Wo trifft man das an?
Hollywood , who make mistakes with their new-found wealth and fame and try to get away with it.
Think again of where you live and who would fit that description. (if that's possible--don't name names!) Usually all communities have relatively "new money" in their areas. Perhaps you could use an example for Hollywood (or professional athletes)
A third setting is the Valley of Ashes. This is where all of the rich dump their waste. All that they do and discard ends up there with those in the Valley of Ashes.
(mostly ashes--since they burned coal in the novel's era) But you could talk about the people who live in such situations today--even on movies--you could even explain how they got to that point. Loss of job? Illness? Laziness? Single parents who barely make ends meet, etc.
Besten Dank für jeden Hinweis
Gruss Dinker
