The great gatsby remix 1

I the first chapter of the great gatsby, on page 8 they talk about Midas, Morgan etc. which refers to money. King Midas would make everything he touched gold,  and Morgan a U.S financier. And in the  very beginning of the book it starts of with a quote. Which a father gave to a son. This reminds me of Spider-Man, instead of the father it's the grandpa who gave him advice, "With great power comes great responsibility". Since it's only the first chapter, I didn't really understand much and I got lost on the way.

The great gatsby notes

" the great gatsby does not proclaim the nobility of the human spirit" ( preface ) •Epigraph- qoute that shows up at the beginning of the book, that gives a hint of the theme " whenever you feel like criticizing anyone, just remember... Advantages that you've had " ( pg. 5) " gatsby who represented everything for which I have an unaffected scorn" ( pg. 6 ) " Midas, Morgan & maecenas" (pg. 8) = money 💰

Notes

genre : category of creative work that shares characteristics specific to a time or place  Naturalism: people who were dealing with force greater than they could control [ made people feel like robots ( Dehumanized ) and not humans]  Realism : characters have  responsibilities ( feel, think, make choices) Existential: how we create ourselves  Modernism: challenges us to figure it out ourselves 

Notes

Remix : • music, videos, Picture •to something already done and combined it with something new Myths : •creativity ➡️ Divine ➡️ "Talented, gifted, unique, within"  Moment of insights 3 elements: • domain knowledge: learn language ➡️ Copying • transformation: ex. Typewriter = piano • combination: seeing things in another way ex. Wine & oil = newspaper               ⬇️ Copying transform and combine

Music as Literature

I personally consider music to be literature, because music is similar to the definition of literature. Literature : collective written words of a culture or imaginative / creative writing, artistic value. As for knowing the difference between A poem, song, rap, novel, etc. is that a poem and novel would be considered as literature in basically the use of words, as for a song and rap etc. would be the second definition of literature creative writing, those things are considered as artistic.
