Great Gatsby

The Great Gatsby, and J.D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye. Both authors write

about the real world and how real people behave under certain circumstances. For

this reason there are many similarities between the two novels. There was a vast

variety of similarities ranging from themes, symbols, and common persona

between the characters in both stories. For example both stories contained a

wealthy character, the narrator who portrayed the average man, and the dream of

being able to win the love of a former friend, among many others. But the

similarity which seemed to be most evident between the two stories was that of

"phonies." Both stories contain minor as well as main characters whose surface

behavior disguises their inner feelings.

A minor character in The Great Gatsby who is fake is Jordan Baker. Jordan

Baker always appears to be "cool" but also portrays the irresponsible exploitation

that Nick sees in Tom and Daisy Buchanan. Jordan is supposed to be the top

woman's golfer. But this is ironic because the reader learns of how she cheats.

This makes Jordan fake because everyone believes her to be the best female golfer
