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!
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.
@@aggrocd1985I’m going through something similar right now. I learned that having a notebook and writing down bullet points of what you read every couple paragraphs is really helpful. I did it for chapters 2 and 3 (and maybe 4), and it forced me to pay attention to what happened. By chapter 5 I didn’t even need to annotate anymore because my previous annotations made me invested in the book. I finished the book pretty quickly after that.
I loved this book. Truly a wonderful experience if you can get through the confusing bits. It can be hard to understand what happens at some points. For example, I didn’t even realize Gatsby had died until I was halfway through the next chapter.
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.
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
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.
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.
What? How are you both "deeply" and "lowkey" attracted to him? How can you pass 9th grade English like this?! I mean, I am too, but you should be understanding exactly what you're typing before hitting "send."
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.
I have an assignment due tonight on this book and this is my saving Grace! Thank you!!
Good luck with your assignment! Thanks for commenting!

Please share your written summary
Me too! 😭
I swear I need a summary every time because this book can get confusing at times, thanks for the summary
It’s more so that the pace of the book is so fast that if you misunderstand or misread something you can very quickly get lost.
Ain't no party like a Gatsby party.
The visuals and retelling were very nicely done. This is the first time that I made it through any version of The Great Gatsby.

Some of us have a really hard time getting through a book. Mentally it's impossible for some of us. We don't want to miss out. It's ok.
I used to love to read growing up, but now that I'm older, it's impossible for me to read a whole book
@@aggrocd1985 opposite issue for me, i love to read but this book is so boring
Hey I got a test on it in two periods fuck you

Thank you. I understood more through this video than the book itself as English is not my first language
Glad to help! Thanks for leaving a comment!
thank you for saving me 5 hours of my time

This was amazing!! Thank you so much for making this.
This was amazing and very interesting ! I'm French and I have understand everyting !! Thank you❤

I have been really busy lately and having this refresher until I can go back and actually read it I’d rather nice
This video was great!!!! Thank you so much

I have been starting reading this book, for a month. However, on yesterday I finished reading The Great Gatsby Chapter 6.
i have a huge test on this book tomorrow so my short memory is THANKING you so bad
Real ngas don’t read their assigned books for English class
i wish someone would make a 'modern' version (e.g. slightly change the story and set it immediately prior to 2008 or something)
“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 read this book in class but got lost a lot so this helped thank you
This saves me so much time thank you!
Glad you found this helpful. Thanks for leaving a comment ☺
Here I am second semester didn’t read the book once but the summary finna pull me through just like first semester
I highly recommend you read it though! If it’s not your thing, don’t read it. But it is a fantastic book.
This saved my final grade
Got some tests on this soon. Wish me luck!
Bout to write an essay on this shiii - thank you very much
brother, can you send me your essay?😂😂😂
Bout to write a final on it so…
@@Dwight_D_Eisenhower same
Spectacular!
Ma'am honestly, I didn't feel like watching it for a college assignment, flabbergasted
Life saver
I think that would be very very great idea. Because if we focus on our dream, and hard work we will become a successful.
nice video
thank you this was super helpful
Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏🙏👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
thank you so much

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.

Very nicely done
forgot to read the book. hope I pass my english exam tmr
I am in ur exact situation
Did you pass the test?
@@amaneara Got a 70
I am watching this because I am going to see the ballet version of this book.
Amazing
bro why is Gatsby's face a literal piece of paper
To be fair, Tom's head looks like a Lego block too
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.
erm what
This my home work book to 👍🏿
thank you
Not all heroes wear capes
Blessing.s God loves you.
I came here after listening to “Mona Lisa” by Wayne and kendrick.
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
1:10
My summer homework is assigned to read this book
Same bro
the plot is so much more underwhelming than I thought it'd be...
Daisy could have ran over Murtle on purpose
I am deeply attracted to Jay Gatsby lowkey
What? How are you both "deeply" and "lowkey" attracted to him? How can you pass 9th grade English like this?! I mean, I am too, but you should be understanding exactly what you're typing before hitting "send."
@ i want him. bad.
@@no1legobatmanfan me too
I like your voice
Justice for Gatsby 😢
daisy was the one who actually hit her
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… 💀
No passion at all💀 probably also for people who are learning English language literatury in school
My only issue is jordan had black hair and daisy was blonde
Nick is gay frfr
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
