How do the rumors about Gatsby tie into the theme of illusion and reality in chapter 6?

1 answer:

8 0

There are lots of rumors going around about Gatsby. Some people say he is a spy and others say he once killed someone. The truth is a bit simpler than that: Gatsby was born into a poor farming family. He had to work to put himself through college.

These rumors, as well as Gatsby's reality, illustrate the theme of illusion vs. reality. In this world, nothing is as it appears to be. Everything is an illusion -- everyone is pretending to be something they're not.

In this, Gatsby is no different. Many characters, Gatsby included, wear a mask that hides the real person underneath.

The author is making the point that the world of glitz and glamour is often all for show.

Which style of leadership would be most effective in the following situation?

Westkost [7]

I believe the best style of leadership here would be democratic.
All of them should decide by vote who they want their leader to be, which is what happens in democracy. Given that they all need to work together, it's best for them to decide together on the book, specific projects, and the division of their work, and the best option for them would be a democracy.
Authoritarian style would mean the leader will impose on them whatever he or she wants; laissez-faire would mean they 'employees' decide without really taking into account their leader, which shouldn't be done in this case.
