How does Tom Buchanan represent The United States today?

English
1 answer:
mina [271]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

There’s an eerie symmetry between Donald Trump and The Great Gatsby’s Tom Buchanan, as if the villain of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s 1925 novel had been brought to life in a louder, gaudier guise for the 21st century. It’s not just their infamous carelessness, the smashing-up of things and creatures that propels Tom’s denouement and has seemed to many a Twitter user to be the animating force behind Trump’s policy and personnel decisions. The two men, real and fictional, mirror each other in superficial but telling ways. Tom moves like Trump, aggressive and restless, and talks like him, with ponderous pride. He picks personal fights in public, “as though … it would be a privilege to partake vicariously of [his] emotions.” Tom surprises his dinner guests with disjointed political speeches, warning insistently that “civilization’s going to pieces.” His patrician mannerisms are shot through with flashes of anxiety, “as if his complacency, more acute than of old, was not enough to him any more.”

Answer:

When Mr. Johnson asked me to write this speech, I didn't even know where to begin. When we think of being "popular", we think of the jock football player who bullys the geek, or the hot cheerleader who thinks putting other girls down makes her that much more attractive, but he isn't like that. Pete, you're so much different. Yes, we all know him as the big jock, but he never let that go to his head. He sees people. Pete, you look at life as just never ending chances to be great. You live like that. So many people aspire to do that. Hell, even most of us here today are just going to stay in this small town, some boring job, a few kids, but always wondering, always thinking what could have been, but not you. Ever since we were little, I could see that you were going to change the world. It's the little things, like when Jonas pushed me down on the playground in third grade so you chased him around the feild and when you finally caught up to him, punched him so hard you got suspended for 2 weeks. We where just kid's then, it seems like yesterday, but now we're all grown up. We're moving on. I can honestly say I've never met anyone quite like you, Pete. you've seen us all, but now, we see you. Just one coversation is all it takes to make people love you. I'm so happy for you, I'm going to miss you more than ever, and I love you even more than that stuffed bear you won for me at the carnival last summer. Now go out and be amazing!
