Something I really liked about this story is its a party I would want to go to. Its like a club now, but its free to go to that party. I didn't like how they used Mr. Gatsby for their entertainment. These days you will never find someone like Gatsby to let you just come in their home and do as you please. It showed that people back then did not have anything good to do in their life, but party. They had no feelings for noone and just wasn't worried about anything. You can also say they had no manners and was very un appreciative.
The theme of the jazz age is represented in the story by showing how people took advantage of money. Also how they partied, drinked and was careless like in the Jazz age. In the Jazz Age people never worried about problems in life just like in this story..
"As soon as I arrived I made an attempt to find my host, but the two or three people of whom I asked his whereabouts stared at me in such an amazed way, and denied so vehemently and knowledge of his movements,"
This quote in the story tells us how noone at the party knew who Mr. Gatsby was. They would just shop up to the party and expected to be entertained. The Jazz Age campares to this by showing how people just didn't care. They show no appriciation to Gatsby at all through out the story, and this is things people would do back in the Jazz Age.
The author tried to get a point across in this story by saying people in america were worthless, and all they did in life was try to have a good time.
