GATSBY CHAPTER 3 REMIX

So far in this book I think chapter 3 is my favorite because it talks about real stuff that happens in life. It explains that not everyone can be happy. I love how the author use descriptive words to describe how Gatsby was feeling about his inner self. sometimes in life its not all color and rainbows. You just have to rip the band aid to move on to greater things instead of covering it up. If that makes sense.

REMIX

I would remix this chapter to "The Perks of being a Wallflower" because Charlie deals with his loneliness and his inner dark self. He feels that he doesn't quite fit in the normal teenager phase. He's more formal, quiet, and independent. There's this girl named Sam and Charlie likes Sam but he doesn't believe he could possibly be in love with her. As similar to Gatsby's feelings towards a woman whose name is Jordan Baker. Gatsby doesn't quite think he could ever "find the right woman" or to fall in love. He seems to isolate himself from his glorious life with rich friends and turnt parties with sad drunk souls wandering looking for their soul mate  to bring them back into life and to feel whole again. He doesn't want to believe that he could possibly fall in love. A quote from Gatsby would be "And from a moment I thought I loved her." As for Charlie he thinks that he couldn't fall in love with a wild soul like Sam. I think Sam becomes with Charlie because so Charlie can finally live life out of this comfort zone. Sam tries to get Charlie out of trying to isolate himself and tries to get him out of his darkness.

CONCLUSION

I quite don't know if this fits in what remix really is. I think Charlie and Gatsby are very similar. I recommend watching "The Perks of being a Wallflower" its a great film.
