The book report of The Great Gatsbay
By F. Scott. Fizgerald
The Great Gatsbay is written by American author F. Scott. Fizgerald, who is considered a member of the "lost generation" of the Twenties. It was first published on 1925. The following is the main plot of the novel.
A young man named Nick Caraway, who came to New York City in string of 1922. He became involved in the life of his neighbour at Long Island, jay Gatsbay revealed to Nick, that he fell in love with his cousin Daisy before the war. At that time, he is poor. However, Daisy married Tom Buchanan, a rich but boring man of good social position. But Gatsby was still in love with her.
In Gatsby's opinion, daisy was a beautiful and charming that he had never seen. But I think she was also fickle, shallow, hypocritical. She was love with money, easy, and material luxury because she seemed to love Gatsby, but just appearance. Although I know the real Daisy, Gatsby did not know her clearly. This is the main reason why Gatsby could not get what he wanted.
Becoming wealthy is the most important for him. Large fortune was from distributing illegal alcohol and trading in stolen securities. After getting money, Gatsby got luxurious possessions. "And a marble swimming pool, and more than forty acres of lawn and garden, it was Gatsby mansion."【了不起的盖茨比英文读书报告】
Besides,Gatsby went to Oxford University to get further study in order to make him more elegant and noble. He changed since his New Haven years. Now he was a study straw-haired man of thirty with a rather hard mouth and a supercilious manner. Two shining arrogant eyes has established dominance over his face and gave him the appearance of always learning aggressively forward. Not even the effeminate swank of his riding clothes could hide the enormous power of that body- he seemed to fill those glistening boots until he strained the top lacing, and you could see a great pack of muck shifting when his shoulder moved under his thin coat. It was a body capable of enormous beverage-" a cruel body" in Nick's eyes.
Gatsby held sumptuous parties every weekend at his mansion. The party is almost unbelievably luxurious. He made friends who have outstanding fame and high position.
Due to natural instincts- vanity, Daisy began to sob helplessly;; I did love him true, but I loved you too." when Gatsby tried to convince her to leave Tom. Gatsby lost Daisy because he had no money, but he still loved her. It was the blinding love that killed him.
Daisy, driving Gatsby's car, hit and killed Tom's mistress, Myrtle Wilson, Gather knew the truth, but he kept silent to protect her. Afterwards, Tom told Myrtle's husband that it was Gatsby killed his wife. Then Wilson murdered Gatsby and committed suicide.
After Gatsby''s dying, almost no people including those who usually attended his parties came to his funeral. Nick was left to arrange Gatsby's funeral, attended only Gatsby's father and the former guests. The woman who ever allowed Gatsby to take the blame for killing Myrtle rather than attend his funeral moved away with her husband finally, leaving no contact address.
Gatsby is the typical American youth in the twenties. He regarded Daisy as the symbol of the youth, money and status deeply. He thought innocently: he can receive the last love, his dream after having money. It was a pity. He had misunderstood the girl he loved and the boring society on the surface. So he would never made his dream come true. But, he tried his best.
Book Report of The Great Gatsby
The introduction about the author:
Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald (September 24, 1896 – December 21, 1940) was an American author of novels and short stories, whose works are the paradigm writings of the Jazz Age, a term he coined himself. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest American writers of the 20th century. Fitzgerald is considered a member of the "Lost Generation" of the 1920s. He finished four novels: This Side of Paradise, The Beautiful and Damned, Tender Is the Night, and the most famous one is The Great Gatsby.Fitzgerald also wrote many short stories that treat themes of youth and promise along with despair and age. The Great Gatsby was first published in 1925, and it has been republished in 1945 and 1953. There are two settings for the novel. The first setting is on Long Island's North Shore and the second major setting is in New York City. The book is set within the year 1922 from the spring to the autumn.
Summary of this book:
Nick Carraway, a Midwesterner who had graduated from Yale, moved to New York in the summer of 1922 to learn about the bond business. He rented a house in the West Egg district of Long Island, a group who had made their fortunes too recently to have established social connections and who were prone to garish displays of wealth. Nick’s next-door neighbor in West Egg was a mysterious man named Jay Gatsby, who lived in a gigantic Gothic mansion and threw extravagant parties every Saturday night.Nick was unlike the other inhabitants of West Egg—he was educated at Yale and had social connections in East Egg, a fashionable area of Long Island home to the established upper class. Nick drove out to East Egg one evening
for dinner with his cousin, Daisy Buchanan, and her husband, Tom, an erstwhile classmate of Nick’s at Yale. Daisy and Tom introduced Nick to Jordan Baker, a beautiful, cynical young woman with whom Nick began a romantic relationship. Nick also leart a bit about Daisy and Tom’s marriage: Jordan told him that Tom had a lover, Myrtle Wilson, who lived in the valley of ashes, a gray industrial dumping ground between West Egg and New York City. Not long after this revelation, Nick travelled to New York City with Tom and Myrtle. At a vulgar, gaudy party in the apartment that Tom kept for the affair, Myrtle began to taunt Tom about Daisy, and Tom responded by breaking her nose.As the summer progressed, Nick eventually garnered an invitation to one of Gatsby’s legendary parties. He encountered Jordan Baker at the party, and they met Gatsby himself, a surprisingly young man who had a remarkable smile and called everyone “old sport.” Gatsby asked to speak to Jordan alone, and through Jordan, Nick later leart more about his mysterious neighbor. Gatsby told Jordan that he knew Daisy in Louisville in 1917 and was deeply in love with her. He spent many nights staring at the green light at the end of her dock, across the bay from his mansion. Gatsby’s extravagant lifestyle and wild parties were simply an attempt to impress Daisy. Gatsby now wanted Nick to arrange a reunion between himself and Daisy, but he was afraid that Daisy would refuse to see him if she knew that he still loved her. Nick invited Daisy to have tea at his house, without telling her that Gatsby would also be there. After an initially awkward reunion, Gatsby and Daisy reestablished their connection. They begin an affair.【了不起的盖茨比英文读书报告】
After a short time, Tom grew increasingly suspicious of his wife’s relationship with Gatsby. At a luncheon at the Buchanans’ house, Gatsby stared at Daisy with such undisguised passion that Tom realized Gatsby is in love with her. Though Tom involved in an extramarital affair, he was deeply outraged by the thought that his wife could be unfaithful to
him. He forced the group to drive into New York City, where he confronted Gatsby in a suite at the Plaza Hotel. Tom asserted that he and Daisy had a history that Gatsby could never understand, and he announced to his wife that Gatsby was a criminal—his fortune came from bootlegging alcohol and other illegal activities. Daisy realized that her allegiance was to Tom, and Tom contemptuously sent her back to East Egg with Gatsby, attempting to prove that Gatsby could not hurt him.
When Nick, Jordan, and Tom drove through the valley of ashes, however, they discovered that Gatsby’s car had struck and killed Myrtle, Tom’s lover. They rushed back to Long Island, where Nick leart from Gatsby that Daisy was driving the car when it struck Myrtle, but that Gatsby intended to take the blame. The next day, Tom told Myrtle’s husband, George, that Gatsby was the driver of the car. George, who had leapt to the conclusion that the driver of the car that killed Myrtle must have had been her lover, found Gatsby in the pool at his mansion and shoots him dead. He then fatally shot himself. Nick staged a small funeral for Gatsby, ended his relationship with Jordan, and moved back to the Midwest to escape the disgust he felt for the people surrounding Gatsby’s life and for the emptiness and moral decay of life among the wealthy on the East Coast. Nick reflected that just as Gatsby’s dream of Daisy was corrupted by money and dishonesty, the American dream of happiness and individualism had disintegrated into the mere pursuit of wealth. Though Gatsby’s power to transform his dreams into reality made him “great,” Nick reflected that the era of dreaming—both Gatsby’s dream and the American dream—was over.
Pursuit for Dreams
The Great Gatsby is a 1925 novel written by American author F. Scott Fitzgerald that follows a cast of characters living in the fictional town of West Egg on prosperous Long Island in the summer of 1922. The story primarily concerns the young and mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby and his quixotic passion and obsession for the beautiful former debutante Daisy Buchanan.
This novel is narrated by Nick who returns to the Midwest before setting to the New York City. Daisy is Nick’s cousin once removed and Nick knows of her husband, Tom. With the development of the novel, Nick knows that his next-door neighbor is the wealthy Gatsby, who always hosting lavish parties of hundreds of people. Then Nick knows that Gatsby had fallen in love with Daisy long before. But Gatsby had no money to married Daisy, so Daisy married to the wealthy Tom. With few years of illegal traffic and smuggling, Gatsby accumulates a great amount of wealth. With the help of Nick, they meet and begin a love affair again. But then Tom finds that. After the combat between the two men, Daisy knocks down and kills Myrtle by accident when driving Gatsby’s car. At last, Daisy and Tom escape, left Gatsby be shot by Wilson.
After read this novel, I think Gatsby is silly and unwisely. For his whole life after he falls in love with Daisy, an attractive and elegant but shallow and selfish young lady, he strives for years to become a millionaire. But Gatsby doesn’t realize the truth of his love and still sacrifices for his dream blindly, even by paying with his life. Gatsby takes the blame of killing Myrtle for Daisy, and is shot by Myrtle’s husband who is incited by Tom. Sadly, after his death, all Gatsby gains is Daisy’s indifference. I think no one is worth a great deal of sacrifice, especially for a frivolous and selfish person. While as the novel’s title The Great Gatsby says, I agree that Gatsby is truly great. In my opinion, Gatsby is pure, sincere, enthusiastic and persevering. Gatsby’s success in fortune is great; his strong will of love and achieving life goal is also great; he becomes the big name of the society and becomes the upper class’s deputy. Everyone is glad to come to his party; everyone admires his property; and everyone wants to be his friend, even Daisy has taken much notice of him and falls in love with him again. Gatsby is also great when he loses his life in order to protect Daisy from the accident.
All in all, this story can serve as a reminder for us. To live a meaningful life, we should carefully choose some dreams to pursue. Everyone, if only work hard and never give up, we could achieve our dreams and could live a better life in the piece of the land. People should make their efforts, such as diligence, courage and determination to realize dreams rather than depend on the help from others.
i have heard of the famous novel the great gatsby for many years。 however， until recently have i got the time and mood to read it。 as soon as i finish reading， i find my previous unwarranted assumption of it totally wrong。
this is a story about gatsby and his pursuit for the ?american dreams?。了不起的盖茨比英文读后感。 during the world war one， the poor soldier gatsby fell in love with an upper class girl named daisy。 but due to the wide gap between them， daisy decided to marry tom， a man of her class， instead of gatsby。 broken-hearted gatsby then held the conviction that money was of the greatest importance。 he strongly believed in the ?american dreams?， which as we all know， advocates that one can achieve whatever he or she likes through continuous efforts。 he strived for five years to bee a millionaire and bought a villa near daisy?s to attract her。 he was too addicted to his fantasy to realize that daisy was no longer the lovely girl she used to be。 eventually， he was killed because of her crime。了不起的盖茨比英文读后感。
after reading it， something reverberates in my heart。 i can?t help thinking of the theme fitzgerald trying to convey。 one thing may be the lonely void of people?s spiritual world。 i am deeply impressed by chapter 3， where a vivid description of a party is given。 there were beautiful girls， drunk men， and boisterous crowds there， but none of them perceived the pointless of their lives and the barren of their minds。 to see this phenomenon deeper，there were two circumstances underlying it。 the first is the lack of dreams。 some people， especially the people of the upper class， lived an aimless life。 they wasted their time and money and took an indifferent attitude towards life。 they chased for temporary ecstasy but lost their identity in eternity， namely daisy and tom。 the second is the misleading of dreams。 some others like gatsby， bravely pursued their dreams， yet going to a diverged way unconsciously。 they might mix up the concept of a richer life and a happier life， viewing a higher social state and a peaceful fulfilled life as equality。 unfortunately， when they were busy chasing their dreams， everything changed with time。 when they were anxious about the to-gets， they ignored what they had already had and lost the alert to the constant changes。 the excellent use of symbolization illustrates this idea perfectly。 the imagery of ?green light? is the most important symble which occurred three times in the novel。 the green-light?s obscure in the mist indicates the dim of gatsby?s dreams。
as far as i am concerned， this story can serve as a reminder for us。 to live a meaningful life， we should carefully choose some dreams to pursue。 and in the process of fulfilling our dreams， we should always be concious about what we really desire。 anyhow， only by pursuing the proper dreams can we finally get to the deep springs of happiness。
1、每当你觉得想要批评什么人的时候，你切要记着，这个世界上的人并非都具备你禀有的条件。
whenever you feel like criticizing any one， just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had。
2、人们的善恶感一生下来就有差异。
a sense of the fundamental decencies is parceled out unequally at birth。了不起的盖茨比经典台词。
3、人们的品行有的好像建筑在坚硬的岩石上，有的好像建筑在泥沼里，不过超过一定的限度，我就不在乎它建在什么之上了。
conduct may be founded on the hard rock or the wet marshes， but after a certain point i don't care what it's founded on。
4、这时，天色已经暗了下来，我们这排高高地俯瞰着城市的灯火通明的窗户，一定让街头偶尔抬头眺望的人感到了，人类的秘密也有其一份在这里吧，我也是这样的一个过路人，举头望着诧异着。我既在事内又在事外，几杯永无枯竭的五彩纷呈的生活所吸引，yet high over the city our line of yellow windows must have contributed their share of human secrecy to the casual watcher in the darkening streets， and i was him too， looking up and wondering。 i was within and without， simultaneously enchanted and repelled by the inexhaustible variety of life。
5、他理解体谅地笑了——这笑比理解和体谅有的含义。了不起的盖茨比经典台词。这是那种不多见的使你忐忑不安的情绪能很快地平静下来的笑，这种笑容人的一生中顶多能碰上四五次。它 先是再一刹那间面对——或者说似乎在面对——整个外部世界，然后他就全副心神地倾注到你的身上，对你充满一种不可抵御的偏爱之情。它对你的理解恰是你想被 人理解的那么多，它对你的信任恰像你平时愿意对自己所信任到的那种程度，它叫你确信它对你的印象恰是你所希望造成的那么多。
he smiled understandingly—much more than understandingly。 it was one of those rare smiles with a quality of eternal reassurance in it， which you may e across four or five times in life。 it faced—or seemed to face—the whole external world for an instant， and then concentrated on you with an irresistible prejudice in your favor。 it understood you just so far as you wanted to be understood， believed in you as you would like to believe in yourself， and assured you that it had precisely the impression of you that， at your best， you hoped to convey。
6、每个人都认为他自己至少具有一种主要的美德，我的美德是:我是我所结识过的少有的几个诚实人中间的一个。
everyone suspects himself of at least one of the cardinal virtues and this
7、世界上只有被追求者和追求者，忙碌者和疲惫者。
there are only the pursued， the pursuing， the busy and the tired。
8、他怀着一种创造性的情感将自己全身心地投入到它的中间，不断地为它增添内容，用飘浮到他路上的每一根漂亮羽毛去装扮它。有谁知道在一个人的波诡云谲的心里，能蓄下多少火一样的激情和新鲜的念头。
he had thrown himself into it with a creative passion， adding to it all the time， decking it out with every bright feather that drifted his way。 no amount of fire or freshness can challenge what a man will store up in his ghostly heart。
9、他是上帝之子，如果这个词还有什么别的含义的话，这里只能用它的本意，他要为天父的事业而献身，服务于这一博大而又粗俗、浮华而又美丽的事业。
he was a son of god—a phrase which， if it means anything， means just that—and he must be about his father's business， the service of a vast， vulgar， and meretricious beauty。
10、许多种情感鱼贯似地流露到她的脸上，仿佛正被冲洗着的相纸一点一点地显示出物景那样。
so engrossed was she that she had no consciousness of being observed， and one emotion after another crept into her face like objects into a slowly developing picture。
11、我整夜没睡；雾笛声一个劲儿在桑德海湾上凄恻地鸣响，我辗转反侧，像生了病一样，理不清哪些是狰狞的现实，哪些是可怕的梦魇。
i couldn't sleep all night; a fog-horn was groaning incessantly on the sound， and i tossed half-sick between grotesque reality and savage， frightening dreams。
12、她消逝在了她那奢华的房子里，消逝在了她那富裕充实的生活之中，留给盖茨比的——只是无有。
she vanished into her rich house， into her rich， full life， leaving gatsby—nothing。
13、盖茨比比以前任何时候都深切地感受到了财富所能赐予青春的魅力和它所能持有的神秘，感受到了锦衣靓饰的清新怡人，意识到了像银子似的发着熠熠光彩的黛西，安然傲倨于劳苦人为生活所做的拼死斗争之上。
gatsby was overwhelmingly aware of the youth and mystery that wealth imprisons and preserves， of the freshness of many clothes， and of daisy， gleaming like silver， safe and proud above the hot struggles of the poor。
14、从这话里，除了能窥测出他对这一无法衡量出的情事之紧张的思考程度，还能推断出什么呢?
what could you make of that， except to suspect some intensity in his conception of the affair that couldn't be measured?
15、如果这一情况真实的话，他那时一定感觉到了他已失去了他原来的那个温馨世界，感觉到了他为这么长时间只活在一个梦里所付出的高昂代价。他那时一定举头望过 令人恐怖的叶片，看到了一个陌生的天宇，他一定不由得颤栗了，当他发现玫瑰原来长得是那么的奇形怪状，照在疏疏落落的草叶上的阳光是那么粗鄙。这是一个没 有真实的物的新世界，在那里可怜的鬼魂们四处随风飘荡，他们像呼吸空气那样吮吸着梦幻。
if that was true he must have felt that he had lost the old warm world， paid a high price for living too long with a single dream。 he must have looked up at an unfamiliar sky through frightening leaves and shivered as he found what a grotesque thing a rose is and how raw the sunlight was upon the scarcely created grass。 a new world， material without being real， where poor ghosts， breathing dreams like air， drifted fortuitously about。
16、我三十岁了，如果我再年轻五岁的话，我说不定会自己欺骗自己把这称之为美德的。
i'm thirty。 i'm five years too old to lie to myself and call it honor。
17、月光渐渐升高，显得渺小的房屋开始融入这溶溶的月色中去，此时我的眼前逐渐浮现出这座古老的岛屿当年在荷兰航海者眼中的那种妖娆风姿——一个新世界的翠绿 欲滴胸膛。它那现在不复存在的林木(为修造盖茨比住过的这座别墅被砍伐掉了)曾经温馨地煽起人类最后的也是最伟大的梦想；在那短暂的神奇时刻里，人类一定 在这片大陆前屏住了呼吸，情不自禁地耽入到他既不理解也没希冀过的美的享受之中，在历史上最后一次面对面地欣赏着，这一与他的感受惊奇的力量相称的景观。
and as the moon rose higher the inessential houses began to melt away until gradually i became aware of the old island here that flowered once for dutch sailors' eyes—a fresh， green breast of the new world。 its vanished trees， the trees that had made way for gatsby's house， had once pandered in whispers to the last and greatest of all human dreams; for a transitory enchanted moment man must have held his breath in the presence of this continent， pelled into an aesthetic contemplation he neither understood nor desired， face to face for the last time in history with something mensurate to his capacity for wonder。
18、他经过慢慢追索才来到了这片蓝色的草地上，他的梦想一定已经离得他如此之近以至于他几乎不会抓不到它了。他不知道他的梦想已经被甩在了他的身后，已经隐藏在了城市以外的冥蒙之中，在那里共和国的黑暗的土地在黑夜中延伸着……
he had e a long way to this blue lawn， and his dream must have seemed so close that he could hardly fail to grasp it。 he did not know that it was already behind him， somewhere back in that vast obscurity beyond the city， where the dark fields of the republic rolled on under the night。
19、为此，我们将顶住那不停地退回到过去的潮头奋力向前。
so we beat on， boats against the current， borne back ceaselessly into the past。

故事发生的时间是20世纪20年代，那时第一次世界大战刚刚结束，在以前历史课学到过美国在战争初期向交战双方提供军火，股票生意，并想以此发财。他住在长岛，与故事的主人公盖茨比为邻，并与之交上了朋友。盖茨比原名盖兹，和卡洛维一样也来自中西部，他出身贫寒，胆雄心勃勃，后因贩卖私酒而暴富。他经常在家举办大型豪华聚会，大宴宾客，以显示其阔绰，目的是为了吸引五年前的恋人黛西并赢回她的芳心。五年前在盖茨比服兵役时，黛西曾是他的恋人，在盖茨比去海外参加第一次世界大战期间，由于利欲熏心嫁给了出身富豪家庭的纨绔子弟汤姆。
布坎南。然而物欲和肉欲的满足并没能填补黛西精神上的空虚与贫乏。在卡洛维的帮助下，与盖茨比重逢后好像又旧情复燃。但黛西已不是原来的黛西，她不再是盖茨比想象中的纯情女孩，而是一个愚蠢、自私、庸俗、美丽的躯壳。盖茨比的美丽旧梦终于被打碎了，但他还在做最后的挣扎，仍对黛西抱有一丝幻想，以致遭遇了更加凄惨可悲的结局。后来黛西在一次酒后，驾驶盖茨比的车撞死了汤姆的情妇，却与汤姆一道密谋并残忍地嫁祸于盖茨比，导致死者的丈夫突然闯入盖茨比的家中并开qiāng打死了盖茨比，然后自杀身亡，使盖茨比最终彻底成为自私而残忍的黛西的牺牲品。<了不起的盖茨比>细腻而准确的展现了20世纪20年代美国的社会风貌，细致地描绘了当时被称为“爵士时代”的那种纸醉金迷、灯红酒绿的狂热场面。在小说中，作者精心挑选了代表不同社会阶层的人物并以他们的生活反映美国20年代的社会生活。汤姆和黛西是当时旧贵族的代表。他们追求生活的优雅与情趣，精神空虚，只会用金钱去消磨打发百无聊赖的日子。他们道德堕落，自私，没有责任感，“他们是粗心大

[篇四:<了不起的盖茨比>读后感]
一种忧伤的美，<了不起的盖茨比>读后感。好久没有读书，尤其是小说，伟大的小说总是能折射出读者内心深处那隐隐的痛楚，美丽和忧伤。然而遗憾的是，我并未能很好的理解这部小说。两个晚上的阅读并未能给我带来莫大的心灵震撼。然而，这有什么关系。
我很欣赏那种有信仰的人，一生为了一个信仰会让我有一种膜拜的感觉，现实总是这样，不论当初是出于何种目的，只要做了，终究都会有所成绩。盖茨比的成就来自于内心强大的对憧憬的渴望，然而当梦想的阳光照进现实的时候，才发现，并不是那么回事，这难免让我感到可悲，也许，生活中的平淡才是永恒的美，我也不知道。
作者的文笔优美，对环境，人物的刻画入木三分，这让我更加确信了“对细节的追求是成就伟大的必由之路”。整片文章中充满了一种忧伤的美丽。也许，在空闲的时候，我应该再次拜读。这是后话。
[篇五:了不起的盖茨比读后感900字]
第一次世界大战结束的时候，第二次工业革命也刚刚完成。美国作为一战的战胜国，一跃超过英国成为资本主义世界第一大强国，出现经济空前繁盛的景象，全国各地一派欣欣向荣，小汽车、电灯、电话便利了人们的生活。人们觉得不会再打仗了，是时候尽情享乐了，年轻的一代更是觉得进入了一个欢乐绚丽的新时代，他们开始放弃传统的道德标准，信奉拜金主义、享乐主义，整日纸醉金迷、灯红酒绿。经济的繁荣代价是社会的世风日下。
<了不起的盖茨比>的故事就发生在这个时期。故事通过主人公尼克的视角讲述了盖茨比的故事，为了爱追求金钱，以金钱博取爱，最终死于他人qiāng下。小说通过盖茨比追求爱情梦想的破灭，表现了年青一代“美国梦”的破灭这一主题。盖茨比就是一个追逐美国梦的年轻人，早期美国梦意味着:只要经过努力不懈的奋斗便能获得更好的生活，亦即人们必须通过自己的勤奋、勇气、创意和决心迈向繁荣，而非依赖于特定的社会阶级和他人的援助，而在一战结束后美国梦却在悄悄变味，其背后的动力成了对财富的渴求。盖茨比为了能得到心爱的姑娘不惜铤而走险贩卖私酒以此获得巨额财富，从此开始整日笙歌艳舞，没日没夜的在心爱的姑娘黛西附近宴请宾客只为引起黛西的注意，这让我想起了当年周幽王为博妃子褒姒一笑而点燃烽火台的事。由此可见，在当时经济蓬勃发展的美国，拜金主义与攀比之风空前繁盛着:社会各阶层的人不择手段赚钱，有钱人花钱如流水、穷人贷款消费盲目攀比。于是经济越发呈现繁荣的景象，殊不知这虚假的繁荣最终导致1933年资本主义世界经济危机并最终引发二战。
女主人公黛西也是人性堕落的代表。黛西身为交际花每日晚上都有军人来自己家中参加宴会，而黛西跟随盖茨比的原因则是因为盖茨比欺骗她说他很有钱，随后盖茨比离开之后黛西便立马开始寻找新的归宿，有钱有势的汤姆成了他的丈夫，而带到多年之后盖茨比腰缠满贯的回来的时候，黛西又决定跟随盖茨比，后来黛西撞死了人，汤姆献计利用盖茨比对黛西的爱嫁祸于盖茨比，黛西又从了汤姆。黛西如一棵墙头草一般左右摇摆着，哪一方对自己有便跟随哪一方。这也反映了当时美国女性拜金的普遍心态，用美貌博得男人的爱，用金钱衡量包括爱的一切事物，生活不加检点、奢靡腐败，以玩乐作为活着的目标，将男性视为自己的钱包，也就是说，她们追逐爱情的目的仅仅是为了金钱。
汤姆则是花心男人与不择手段的典型代表，汤姆在与黛西结婚后不久便找到了一个情妇，两人秘密交往数年，等到盖茨比回来要带走黛西的时候却又紧紧抓住黛西不放，这可不是因为爱情，而是因为占有欲与面子而已。但故事最后黛西竟然阴差阳错撞死了汤姆的情妇，汤姆立马装作完全不认识情妇的样子，还帮助黛西出谋划策嫁祸盖茨比，最终盖茨比被杀死，而这两人马上远走高飞消失不见，连盖茨比的葬礼都未参加。汤姆成为那个时期上流社会男性的典型代表，用钱来处理一切事物，在外面花天酒地，四处寻找情妇，并带有严重的种族歧视心态，在自私心膨胀到极点的时候可以干出杀人一类的事，人性竟至于堕落到如此地步!
故事中很多其他的小配角也反映了美国当时的社会现状:汤姆情妇的丈夫代表着美国的无产阶级穷人们，生活在社会的最底层，任富人摆布；盖茨比的父亲则在儿子死后，为儿子拥有如此大的房子与如此多的财产而骄傲，似乎忘了儿子已经死去这一事件:沃尔夫山姆在盖茨比生前只想着盖茨比的钱，在盖茨比死后装聋作哑?让人感到当时美国社会的冷漠与自私叙述者尼克则是一个旁观者，他不是这人格堕落中的一员，他以他的视角讲述了这发生在美国最繁华的东部的故事，故事的最后，尼克看清了东部的鬼影重重，世态炎凉，踏上了前往中西部的路途。
值得一提的是，作者菲茨杰拉德在凭借其另一本小说<人间天堂>出名时还不满24岁，菲茨杰拉德一夜之间成为了美国文坛一颗耀眼的新星。一个星期后，他与泽尔达在纽约结了婚。菲茨杰拉德和泽尔达年轻，迷人，拥有金钱和名望，是一对令人艳羡的金童玉女。他们活跃于纽约的社交界，纵情地享受爱情、年轻的生命以及成功的欢乐，过着夜夜笙歌、觥筹交错的生活，后来又长年在欧洲居住。但由于讲究排场，挥霍无度，他们的生活渐渐捉襟见肘。泽尔达因精神病多次发作被送进精神病院，菲茨杰拉德也染上了酗酒的恶习。1940年12月21日，菲茨杰拉德因为心脏病突发死于洛杉矶，年仅44岁。这真的是莫大的讽刺。
菲茨杰拉德曾经这样形容欧美的三个国家:法国是一片土地，英国是一个民族，而美国是一颗赤子之心。世界各地的人都怀抱着一颗赤子之心来到美国追逐自己心目中的美国梦，但到了最后无非是追逐更多的金钱罢了，在这经济繁荣却充满功利的社会中慢慢迷失自我。所以，黯然神伤的故事总是发生在最为绚丽的时代。
最后写一段狄更斯在双城记里面的一段话结尾“这是最好的时代，也是最坏的时代;这是智慧的时代，也是愚蠢的时代;这是笃信的时代，也是疑虑的时代;这是光明的季节，也是黑暗的季节;这是希望的春天，也是绝望的冬天;我们什麼都有，也什麼都没有;我们全都会上天堂，也全都会下地狱。”

还轻，阅历不深的时候，我父亲教导我一句话，我至今念念不忘。
“每逢你想要批评任何人的时候，”他对我说，“你就记住，这个世界上所有的人，并不是个个都有过你那些优越的条件。”——<了不起的盖茨比>
不知有多少人是因为村上春树才读菲茨杰拉德的<了不起的盖茨比>，我只是其中的一个。但是还有一个原因，那就是电影版的<了不起的盖茨比>是我最喜欢的美国演员莱昂纳多·迪卡普里奥担任男主角，村上多次在他的作品里提到过菲茨杰拉德和<了不起的盖茨比>，如果没记错的话，第一次知道菲茨杰拉德是因为读<挪威的森林>，后来好奇，就决定看一遍<了不起的盖茨比>菲茨杰拉德用了第一人称内聚焦的叙事方式，通过尼克的回忆来讲故事，他既是当局者，又是旁观者。作为当局者，他是盖茨比的邻居，是黛西的远房表哥，是汤姆的旧相识，他和乔丹交往，参加盖茨比的奢华派对，帮盖茨比搭起与黛西重聚的桥梁，他目睹汤姆与盖茨比之间的冲突，知道茉特尔出事的真相，他处理盖茨比的后事，作为旁观者，他从不识盖茨比到成为盖茨比的送殡人，这短短日子里的经历令他最终看透了他接触过的那些人，看清了他所生存的那个“黄金”年代的美国社会。
我们通过尼克进入故事，以他的角度来观察、分析和思考，通常运用第一人称内聚焦这种叙事手法都会令人读得如临其境，真实感极强。真实到连故事里每个人所向往和追求的似乎都是应该被理解的真实，包括盖茨比。虽然盖茨比追求的是一个看似虚无的梦想，但他需要的同样也是一种真实，一个黛西，一段他自以为暂停的爱情。可是实与虚又好像是一体的，黛西是真实的，而盖茨比苦苦追求的爱情梦想却如他豪宅对岸的小绿灯一般虚无缥缈，黛西无情的离开，盖茨比的被害，葬礼的冷清?盖茨比的苦心经营最终换来的是一场空，他追求的梦只是一个短暂而美丽的气泡。
通过尼克之口来讲盖茨比的故事是最合适的，从某种意义上来讲，尼克和盖茨比是同一种人。因为盖茨比死后，尼克还一直以为黛西会回来，至少会打个电话，还以为昔日参加盖茨比派对的“朋友”会来参加葬礼，直到最后没接到黛西一个电话，直到在五号路遇见汤姆以后，尼克才渐渐领悟到些什么。在尼克心中，盖茨比始终都了不起，他既是当初搞奢华派对的富豪盖茨比，也是最后活在他心中的追梦赤子盖茨比。
盖茨比是一个了不起的人，他的了不起在于他无所顾忌地爱着黛西多年，他的心是纯粹的。虽然盖茨比经过多年的奋斗，进入了上流社会的圈子，他从来不为金钱、权力与荣誉所动，事业上的建构是为了与黛西更接近。不幸的是，他的一生以悲剧结束，包括他梦寐以求的爱情。
[篇一:读书心得]
“他”使我快乐，使我伤感；“他”使我感动，使我落泪。当我看他第一眼时，我便泥足深陷，爱上了他。
他总是在我得到好成绩后沾沾自喜时，对我说:“天外有天，人外有人。”强中更有强中手，真正的强者，不但要经得起失败的考验，还要经得起糖衣炮弹的洗礼，当你正在蜜罐里享受时，恐怕别人已经登上巅峰了。关于读书心得的作文。”
“他”就是我心中的上帝；人类的天使；幸福的化身；文字的灵魂……
也许是厌倦了枯燥无味的abc，也许是逃避令人窒息的百分数，我一次又一次的约“他”出来。从他那渊博的大脑里，我走出了平淡如水的地方，的，幸福的!在家里，父母宠爱着，关心着，保护着。在学校，有老师的教导和同学们的陪伴，真正可以说是无忧无虑。而高尔基呢?与我们恰恰相反。有人说:“环境可以造就一个人，也可以毁灭一个人。”就是这样的环境造就了高尔基，成就了高尔基。在如此邪恶和污秽的社会中，他那颗光明和博爱的心没有动摇，没有被污染，反而变得越加开阔、光明。也许，这就是他成功的秘诀吧!这本书告诉我们要坚强勇敢、正直自信。
步入初中的我回忆起童年是多么美好的时光啊，读了高尔基的<童年>后，才知道什么是童年，什么是幸福童年，什么叫做珍惜童年。也许你正在为妈妈没有带你去买你想要的东西而抱怨着，可如果你想象一下高尔基的童年，那么你将会感受到自己的幸福，去主动帮助妈妈工作!这本书告诉我们，要珍惜现在!
高尔基虽然小时候生活在如此恶劣的环境下，但是竟然还能成为一位如此杰出的人，真是了不起!他发表过的文章数也数不清。高尔基从来不放弃可贵的光阴，他在一九二八年至一九三六年写了一部长篇小说<克里母。萨姆金的一生>，但直到他临终都没有完成。这部小说作品再现了俄国社会生活，反映了各个阶级和社会集团在不同历史阶段的变化。高尔基于一九三六年六月十八日在哥尔克病逝。读了<童年>，我深深感受到了当时俄国社会的那种腐败，当时人民生活的痛苦。相比之下，我们现在的社会是多么美好!我认为，如果我们在这样的好环境中浪费时间实在是天大的错误。记得鲁迅先生曾经说过“时间就是生命”“珍惜时间是成功的秘诀”。我们现在有如此好的环境，是多么难得呀!所以我们不是更应该去努力吗?这本书告诉我们，要把握未来!
每个人的心充斥着暴力，麻木不仁，他们放纵自己，麻醉自己，去努力忘掉穷困，病痛的折磨，那种灰暗的日子，真的很难熬过，大家记得书中那句话吗?漫漫日月，忧伤是它的节日，火灾是它在狂欢，在一无所有的面孔上，伤痕也成了点缀——我想这就是对<童年>中生活的最好诠释!
[篇四:读书心得作文]
老舍—一个伟大的人民艺术家，一个让后人永远敬仰的文学巨匠，一座永恒的丰碑。他一生创作了许多经典的作品，比如:长篇小说<离婚>，<老张的哲学>；戏剧<龙须沟>，<茶馆>，<春花秋实>；短篇小说集<火车集>，<樱海集>等等。但其中最着名的要算<骆驼祥子>了。<骆驼祥子>这部小说以二十年代末期的北京市民生活为背景，以人力车夫祥子的坎坷悲惨生活遭遇为主要情节，深刻揭露了旧中国的黑暗，控诉了统治阶级对劳动人民的深切同情。祥子是北京旧三十年代一位青年车夫，善良，正直，他的理想是车，拥有一辆属于自己的车。于是，他省吃俭用，起早摸黑。三年之后终于得偿所愿，但是那时是抗战时期，北平乱成一团，祥子稀里糊涂地被抓去打杂，更痛苦的是他的寄托—车，也被夺走了。千辛万苦逃了出来，回到“仁和厂子”继续拉车。但是痛苦还没结束:厂主刘四爷的女儿虎妞看上了祥子，并诱惑他，祥子上了当，不得不娶了虎妞，不多久虎妞就死于难产。从此以后祥子就堕落了，以前的善良正直不见了，他憎恨任何人。
拉车也不去了，吃喝嫖赌的恶习也染上了，他可以为金钱出卖朋友，彻底沦为了行尸走肉。祥子的悲剧，是他所置身的社会生活环境的产物。小说，真实地展现了那个黑暗社会的生活面目，展现了军阀、特务、车厂主们的丑恶面目，如果不是他们的迫害，祥子也不会从充满希望走向堕落，一个曾经勤劳坚忍，有着自己目标的人最后却沦为了社会垃圾——这不就是可悲的人生吗?也许这才是现实，残酷、悲哀、无可奈何。理想和现实总是充满了矛盾，它们往往不能调和，然而它们却又同时存在。社会是现实的，它不会为了一个人的理想而改变，也不会是完美无瑕的。对于骆驼祥子，我感到遗憾，感到惋惜，也感到无奈，但也感到敬佩，我佩服他从前的坚强，他的上进。
然而他最终没能战胜自己，没能战胜社会，终究还是被打败了。读书是一种提升自我的艺术。“玉不琢不成器，人不学不知道。”读书是一种学习的过程。一本书有一个故事，一个故事叙述一段人生，一段人生折射一个世界。“读万卷书，行万里路”说的正是这个道理。读诗使人高雅，读史使人明智。读每一本书都会有不同的收获。“悬梁刺股”、“萤窗映雪”，自古以来，勤奋读书，提升自我是每一个人的毕生追求。读书是一种最优雅的素质，能塑造人的精神，升华人的思想。读书是一种充实人生的艺术。没有书的人生就像空心的竹子一样，空洞无物。书本是人生最大的财富。犹太人让孩子们亲吻涂有蜂蜜的书本，是为了让他们记住:书本是甜的，要让甜蜜充满人生就要读书。
读书是一本人生最难得的存折，一点一滴地积累，你会发现自己是世界上最富有的人。读书是一种感悟人生的艺术。读杜甫的诗使人感悟人生的辛酸，读李白的诗使人领悟官场的腐败，读鲁迅的文章使人认清社会的黑暗，读巴金的文章使人感到未来的希望。每一本书都是一个朋友，教会我们如何去看待人生。读书是人生的一门最不缺少的功课，阅读书籍，感悟人生，助我们走好人生的每一步。书是灯，读书照亮了前面的路；书是桥，读书接通了彼此的岸；书是帆，读书推动了人生的船。读书是一门人生的艺术，因为读书，人生才更精彩!读书，是好事；读大量的书，更值得称赞。读书是一种享受生活的艺术。五柳先生“好读书，不求甚解，每有会意，便欣然忘食”。当你枯燥烦闷，读书能使你心情愉悦；当你迷茫惆怅时，读书能平静你的心，让你看清前路；当你心情愉快时，读书能让你发现身边更多美好的事物，让你更加享受生活。读书是一种最美丽的享受。“书中自有黄金屋，书中自有颜如玉。”
[篇五:读书心得]
我读过<青鸟>、<柳林风声>、<海的女儿>、等等，但是我最喜欢的是<一百条裙子>，当爸爸刚给我从图书批发市场买回来的时候，我就在想:这本书的内容是开心还是悲伤呢?我真期待着故事的结局。
作者是美国著名的儿童文学作家。他曾经担任过儿童图书馆管理员的工作。直到1941年她的首部小说<莫法特一家>。出版并荣获纽伯瑞儿童文学奖银奖后，她才决定开始写作生涯。
故事内容大概是这样的；旺达?佩特罗斯基是一个有着奇怪名字的女孩。也正是因为她的怪名字和旧裙子，所有的女孩子都喜欢捉弄她。直到有一天，旺达突然声称她家里有一百条各式各样的裙子，随之而来的却是更多的嘲笑。根本没有人相信她，而且大家都会拿这件事捉弄她，旺达都默默地忍受着。有一天，旺达终于因为受不了这些嘲笑，而转学了，她给大家留下了她那一百条“裙子”。捉弄过她的女生发现原来旺达是多么爱她们，而且旺达是一个非常可爱非常聪明的女孩，于是她们决定写信向她道歉，并且去把她找回来。可是旺达再也不会回来了……旺达到底有没有原谅大家呢?
这让我知道了，她用这种独特的方式证明了自己的存在，她带走了不愉快的记忆，包容和原谅，友爱和希望留了下来。一个
普通甚至卑微的小女孩。即使是被歧视、冷落、嘲笑着，她的心里仍就留存着许多美好的愿望。对美的向往和最求，对理想的坚持感动着我们。读过这本书的人心会变得更加澄澈和透明，友爱的阳光洒满每一个角落。
这使我明白了，友情比什么都珍贵，就算价值连城的翡翠也顶不上一点儿友情。如果你相信朋友，朋友也会相信你。大家以后一定要珍惜自己和朋友的友情。
[篇六:读书心得]
大家好，我是一位好读书者，我想在此和你们分享我读书的心得。我认为读书是孤独的散步，它是精神的放纵与漫游，让我们随它无边地游历，随它的伤感而惆怅，随它的感受而恍然大悟。其实读书最需要的是个人情感散步的天地。同时看海，有人看到海的澄碧，有人看到海的苍茫，有人看到落霞的海更美，有人看看到日出的海潮更壮观。这完全取决于自己的感觉。
读书就像一位高深的老者，慢慢将你带入其中，远离功名利禄。而书的滋味绵长而深厚，似酒清洌甘醇。有幸读一本好书，就如同品尝到醇厚可人的清泉，泉水流经的地方，绿草如茵，花团锦簇，彩蝶飞舞，小鸟欢唱，一派生机盎然的美景，令人心旷神怡，美不胜收。
并且读古人的书，让古人和现代的灵魂在此撞击。读“举世混浊而唯我独清”，读“先天下之忧而忧，后天下之乐而乐”，读“大江东去浪淘尽”，读“小桥流水人家”，读“举头望明月”……从中读出古人的人生，看见古人的灵魂，并让古代的人融入我们的生活。读古人的书，读的是五千年灿烂文化的博大精深，这是现代人莫大的享受。在享受中品尝读书的滋味，感悟生活，鼓舞斗志。
书中自有黄金屋。读书，不啻为最好的艺术享受，展示了灵感创新。
随着社会的发展，读书，将越来越被人们所崇尚。
书籍是人类进步的阶梯。希望大家和我一样爱看书，一个喜爱读书的民族，便会知道昨天的光荣与今天的梦想，便会拥有明天的灿烂和辉煌。
