Choose any topic of interest that we have discussed in class (or not discussed, if you have a new one) in relation to The Great Gatsby and explore it further. Use textual evidence to support your ideas.

An idea/discussion that really interests me is the idea of whether if someone can repeat the past. In page 85, it says "I wouldn’t ask too much of her,” I ventured. “You can’t re-peat the past.” “Can’t repeat the past?” he cried incredulously. “Why of course you can!” Gatsby believes that you can repeat the past, and I agree with him. I just disagree with that situation; I think that he couldn't repeat that part of his past. I think that if an event is very vague and without a lot of detail, it is possible to repeat that event. In the book towards the end, it states something similar which is the last sentence of the book, "So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back cease-lessly into the past." It states that we will always be reminded about our past.
