Question:

I need to write a 5 page paper tonight, but read the book last year when I found out I would have to write a paper about it this year in class!. Can someone people give me a decent recap of what happened!? I don't trust the cliff notes type or sites or wikipedia since people can be dishonest, so I am hoping someone nice enough can help me here!.

The Great Gatsby--written by F!. Scott Fitzgerald--is an action plot involving the cloning of dinosaurs through the use of ancient DNA preserved in mosquito fossils and linked together with frog genes!. This is how the story begins; Nick Carraway and Jordan Baker are busy excavating a recent dig of a velocraptor when a fat kid starts making fun of the dig, calling the velocraptor a "giant turkey", Nick tells that fat kid that if he ever speaks again he will beat the fat out of him, and the fat kid shuts his fat triple-chinned mouth!.

All of the sudden out of nowhere a helicopter storms onto the scene, this is no ordinary helicopter, this is The Great Gatsby's helicopter!. The Great Gatsby proceeds to explain to Nick and Jordan that he has an amusement park that he thinks they'd be very interested, saying "I think you'd be very interested, it's right up your alley!." After some persuading the Great Gatsby convinces the couple to visit this island,

While on the way to the island via a private helicopter, Nick and Jordan encounter Meyer Wolfsheim, a professor in mathematics!. Meyer comes off as mildly strange to Nick, as he discusses rhetoric and tries to seduce Jordan by pouring water over her hand; Nick frankly doesn't pay attention to this because as far as Nick's concerned Meyer can have the *****, Nick thinks dinosaurs are way ******* cooler than some stupid girl!.

Once at the island Nick and the gang are introduced to The Great Gatsby's niece and nephew, Henry C!. Gatz and Pammy Buchanan!. While riding around the park, exploring all the cool attractions, a morbidly obese worker who is a genius with computers (Thomas Buchanan), intentionally sabotages the power in the park!. Thomas plans on stealing The Great Gatsby's work and selling it on the black market, thus netting him a fortune so he can continue to stuff his fat worthless face until his teeth wear out and he dies from starvation like elephants do!.

Nick is stuck in the jeep because of the power outage with the Gatsby's nephew, when all of the sudden a gigantic Tyrannosaurus Rex bursts out of his pen!. Pammy Buchanan (Gatsby's niece) suffering from a bout mental retardation, shines a light in the T-rex's eyes, rightfully pissing him off!. Seeing his opportunity Nick jumps out of his jeep and rescues the children!. He than proceeds to throw the children into the T-rex's mouth, who readily devours them, pleasing the T-rex and saving his own life!.

Midst while Meyer also jumps out of the car, but he handily gets his *** kicked, for trying to be the hero because Nick is the hero in this book not Meyer!.

Later in the book Jordan and Nick are escaping from the island with The Great Gatsby who has readied a helicopter when two velocraptor's attack, Nick is about to sacrifice himself to the raptors!. When Samuel L!. Jackson riding the T-Rex comes out of nowhere (in a closed off building where there is no way the T-Rex could have logically gotten in without everyone noticing up until this point), Jackson jumps off his T-Rex mount and spears both raptors with his javelins!. Thomas Buchanan is eaten by a dilopasaurus, arguably the most pussfied dinosaur on the entire island!.

Sam L!. Jackson, The Great Gatsby, Nick, and Jordan leave safely on the helicopter (Meyer is there too but he's asleep because he still hurt from getting his *** kicked)!. Nick looks out the window and notices a flock of Condors in the distance, this is markedly ironic because Condors are the only known mortal enemies of velocraptors!.

THE ENDWww@QuestionHome@Com

The great gatsby is the unforgettable tale of the greatest man in the great depression!. The "great" portion of the title is used as a play on words for both Gatsby being great and the depression being equally (if not more) great!.

Great is also a clever acronym that summarizes that contents of the story:

G = gets the girl
R = Rich, filthy stinking rich
E = equality of human rights
A = Awesome, Gatsby
T = tragedy

Unfortunately Gatsby not only gets the girl, but as they are driving off into the sunset tragedy strikes!.!.!. and they both die in a horrible car fire which is ironic because the doors were locked on his Gatsby motors 411 supercar, a defect he refused to acknowledge on the production line!. The resulting scandal led to one of the most monumental failures in all of motor car history!.

that's funny you asked this question, I had to read this about 18 years ago!.
it started off before Jesus was born, so just before Columbus found America!.!.!. there was this family of indigenous people, cannibals!. they were in the middle of a drunken orgy, and a 13 -year-old boy was banished from the tribe for having erectile dysfunction, of course this was before Jesus was alive so there was no proper name for it!.!.!. so he goes in to the wild and meets up with a pack of wolves!. He is taken to their leader, who is named Gatsby(king in wolf language), and determined suitable to be raised by them!. so he grows up big and strong by these wolves!. Now this was getting too the the time of baby Jesus so right around 1492( cannot be confirmed), Gatsby had become very old and feeble, so the boy went up to him and hit him over the head with a large rock!. The other wolves saw this and swiftly made him know that he was the next king!. He would be known as the great Gatsby!.
The boy still remembered what his Tribe did to him and he went back there with his pack following in single file, and killed every last one of them!. It is undetermined what happened after that!.

It was really a good book and I would recommend it!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

The story recounts the tale of one Nick Carver, during his travels in the 1950s!. He grew up in a Jewish household on the west-coast!. He follows the advice of his brother whom he witnessed die in a violent dog attack, that a wise judge can tell the character of a man upon sight!.

He then travels to Witchita Kansas, where he meets a strange man by the name of Benjimin Gatsby, whom lives next door to him!. Benjimin likes to throw orgy induced parties on the weekends, and invites Nick over!. Well it never explicitly says so, one of the under-lining themes of this book is the homosexual affair between the two characters as they look for acceptance in modern society!.

Little known to Nick, Benjimin has extensive ties to the Seattle yakuza!. Conflict occurs when Benjimin introduces Nick to the Oyabun, who is disgusted at the obvious "closeness" of the two of them!.

This leads to a series of events that causes Benjimin and Nick to break ties, eventually the Oyabun reveals that it was benjimin's dog who attacked his brother!.

Nick returns to the west-coast, where the experience with the great gatsby haunts him everyday!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the story takes place a couple of years after World War 2 ended in Poland!. The book starts off with John Conner, a jewish refugee during the war, running through the forest being chased by his friends!. All of a sudden he sees a white rabbit and pursues it down into a rabbit hole!. When John gets to the end, he finds a port key that instantly ports him to Hogwarts where he loses consciousness!.

As he awakens he is basically joined by his friend, Dr!. Arnold and together they explore the countryside of a mystical land that is hidden from everyone else in Poland!. They battle an ice queen, a dark lord that owns a magic ring and fight a lot of orcs!. However, the story gets quirky when John starts accusing Dr!. Arnold of "mis-examining" his rectum over the course of the several months they were together resulting in the duo separating!.

John Conner eventually came back to Poland where he found it to be completely desolate and lacking any life!. He wants for ages until he comes across Will Smith who tries to kill John because Will Smith believes he's a diseased animation of some crazy demon!.

The rest of the book talks about his adventures with Ash Ketchum, Brock and Misty as they battle through what is called "Digimon" world in an effort to find the ever elusive cure for AIDS!.

Then he wakes up and realizes that all was a dream and that he is actually Dr!. Arnold and posts on Yahoo! Answers flaunting his PhD he earned at Columbia Law School!.
