Parodies on The Great Gatsby

A Parody on Parties and Figurative Language in The Great Gatsby

The bob-hair style
women featured with a smile
they tossed glasses of wine
and fell asleep under the ivy vine
of Gatsby's famous house
that hosted jazz, champagne and Tom's spouse.

A Parody on Figurative Language in The Great Gatsby

"Your place looks like the World's Fair"
is what Nick told Jay, not Chicago's mayor.
Nick was from Chicago and he knew well the site
that became a landmark of the US 1890s might.

A Parody on Creating Mood in The Great Gatsby

Sad mood in the vally of ashes
through Myrtle's miserable life dashes
the color grey Fitzgerald uses
and his diction affects our fuses
filled of compassion and pity and grief
but that's the author's choice of sadness motif!

He creates a gloomy atmosphere
and let it later interfere
with mood jaunty, drunk and high
that to the old and new rich we apply.
