//Reflection: The idea of a newspaper article was taken and twisted into a gossip page. Since the Great Gatsby is about the flaws behind the lives of the rich and famous, a society column was the best way to depict how others in the east and west egg saw the characters we followed. The first article is a picture of Gatsby at one of his lavish events. The purpose of this picture and the article was to show how glamorous Gatsby's parties truly were. Another purpose to this article was to display how although Gatsby had so many guests at his party and was indeed famous, people did not actually know who he was or what his story was. The second picture depicts the lunch between Gatsby, Nick, and Meyer Wolfshiem. This was an imperative scene in the story because it showed how lightly the corrupted were taken in society. Meyer Wolfshiem was guilty for fixing a World Series and the way that Gatsby mentions this in the book is how the article depicted it, nonchalant. Another purpose of this article is to detail how Nick was still a nobody in the city of riches. The third article illustrates Daisy and Gatsby talking and flirting at a party. Although Tom was nearby, Gatsby was comfortable getting close to Daisy and this picture shows how they're chatting was not unnoticed. This article also sets up foreshadowing tone of why Tom found out about Gatsby and Daisy having a more than friendly relationship.//
