Writing about opening of Chapter 3 of Gatsby

F.Scott Fitzgerald creates a real sense of wealth and glamour by using "until the air is alive with chatter and laughter".This implies that everyone in the party is happy and that everyone is having a good time and the party is lit.On the other hand it could also connote that they are not talking sense as some of them are drunk.

Early on in text he gives the reader that hes wealthy and has a lot of money."On weekends his Rolls-Royce became an omnibus" which suggests that he is rich enough to drive a Rolls-Royce around for a casual occasion.

Later on in the text the writer says " spilled with prodigality" which implies that the laughter has spilled with everyone and also suggest Gatsby is rich and spends a lot of money on his parties.

F. Scott Fitzgerald creates a sense of wealth and glamour. He does this by showing the reader the luxury aspects of Gatsby party such his use of his car, "his Rolls-Royce became an omnibus". The fact that the writer has described a very expensive car as being similer to a bus, indicates to the reader that money is not an issue for Gatsby and that a very expensive item may not be valuble in Gatsby's mind.  

Another way the writer conveys a sense of wealth is by showing to the reader the lifestyle that Gatsby is living, the writer says "spilled with prodigality". the use of the word prodigality indicates to the reader the extent of Gatsby's luxury lifestyle, the fact that he is spending a lot of money for the benefit of others shows that he does not care about the money he spends.

One more way wealth is expressed would be the items depicted in the party such as "spiced bake hams crowded against salads of harlequin design". The use of the word "harlequin"

F.Scott Fitzgerald creates a sense of wealth and glamour. He does this by showing the reader the aspect of luxury that Gatsby is living and portrays this through the constant partys he hosts. He uses metaphorical language like "harlequin designs" and "on the week-ends his Rolls-Royce became an omnibus" to portray the luxurious life of gatsby and his guests.

the writer also portays this wealth and glamour by listing each significant part that goes in to a party at gatsbys m,ansion  the writer uses a list to portray the way in which gatsbys partys are set up it is shown in the third paragraph when the writer states "by seven oclock the orchestra arrive".

arguably, Fitzgerald undermines the sense of wealth of glamour, when he describes the aftermath of the night before "repairing the ravages from the night before" this makes me as a reader think that these people have no respect for gatsby and only represent greed when in his presence. Although this may be the case Gatsby is so driven by money and finding

F.Scott Fitzgerald shows off his wealth to the reader. You can see this in "On week-ends his Rolls-Royce became an emnibus" this implies that Gatsby has enough money to let expensive cars (Rolls-Royce being known for being a signifying wealth) being used for a casual perpose.

Later in the text we are shown that the night is going well " alive with chatter and laughter" this shows us that everyone is enjoying their night and also getting drunk. However, the verb chatter implies what they are saying to eachother means nothing.

As the text develops the writer says " spilled with prodigality" this shows the rerader that the laughter has overflowed, this may be because of the amount of drink they have engolfed.

- the writes uses the phrase ''spilled by prodigality'',when describing the laughter of the guests to show that people are having fun, not having to think about the consequences, as they are spending Gatsby's money. the noun ''prodigality'' suggests plenty.  

-earlier in the text the writer uses the phrase ''harlequin design'' to tell us that Gatbsy likes to express his wealth through art and even a salad is being designed to show off how wealthy he is.

-at the beggining of chapter 3 the writer uses the quote '' on weekends his Rolls-Royce became an omnibus'' which suggests that Gatsby is so wealthy that he uses such an expensive car as a omnibus.

-the writes uses the the quote '' repairing the ravages of the night before'' whjich suggests that people make a big mess everynight and they dont care, the noun ''ravages'' suggests a violent and careless actions as they are very drunk but Gatsby doesn't mind it as he has a lot of money to repair the damage.

The writer Fitzgerald creates the atmosphere of a real 1920’s party through his use of descriptive language in the quote “of harlequin design”. This creates the atmosphere of a party as "harlequin" gives the impression of frivolity with it’s meaning of varied in colour, this expresses the fact that the party is full of colour and fancy decoration.  It also means that Fitzgerald is presenting Gatsby as a man who likes to spend his money just to make the party seem fancy, expensive even though it is only a salad.

The sense of wealth and glamour is created at the start of the text in the first line. "Whisperings and the champagne and the stars". Whisperings indicates deviance which shows the guests at the party have ulterior motive.

"enthusiastic meetings between women who never knew each other's names". Implies they don't care for each others names, brought together by the excitement of the party or could even be networking.

"Confident girls weaving between the stouter more stable". Stouter and more stable is associated with being rich and powerful and mature rather than young and reckless. These confident girls are looking for husbands to spoil and look after them. "Confident" shows these girls know how to play their cards to peacock and stand out from the rest of the heard attending the party. 

The perception of wealth and glamour is helped by the perspective of nick who is in awe of this extravagant party.  "Hair bobbed in strange new ways". This to people who are rich and wealthy in the 20's was the norm, it was all about,wealth and novelty. However Nick is alien to this lifestyle, and to him this lifestyle is glamorous. 

Nick when he talks about the clothes worn by guests . "Shawls beyond the dreams of Castile", he refers to them being extravagant and superior like the kingdom of Castile which was very rich and powerful in it's time.
