Game+Board

By: Hanna Sadeghipour //Reflection: This may not be a conventional game board but, it outlines the Nick's life during the story in the sense of a game. In the start of the game board, it shows that the player can choose to be social with either the west egg society or the east egg society. If the player chooses the west egg life, they play the life of Nick as he meets Gatsby and attends his lavish parties. The downfalls of this decision that the game board depicts through "Move Back Spaces" is that Nick is introduced to the corruptions of the people due to their drive for money. In the end of this path, Nick ultimately loses because Gatsby dies and Jordan leaves him and he decides to leave this life and quit and go back to the Midwest. In the East Egg life, the player follows Nicks life as he is closer to Daisy and Tom and is more focused on getting closer to family than making friends with powerful men. Unfortunately, Nick begins to see corruption in this society as well as he realizes Tom openly has a mistress and as he does not give proper advice to Gatsby after Mrs. Wilson's murder. In the end the result is Mr. Wilson accidently killing Gatsby and Nick meeting the same fate as he moves back to the Midwest. The purpose of this Game board is to separate the different influences during Nick's ultimate corruption. //
