A quote from the very beginning of of the chapter reminds me of [|this] you-tube video: "I watched his guests diving from the high tower of his raft" (Fitzgerald, p.41). [|This music video for Maxence Cyrin's cover of 'Around the world'] is what I imagine Gatsby's guests look like while they're diving into the water. His party is full of beauty and elegance just like this song and video. Moreover both the video and Gatsby's party seem full of too much beauty, becoming a spectacle. media type="youtube" key="o1u0VIBUfUI" height="390" width="480"

 Gatsby's party reminds me of the outdoor shows we used to play when I was a teenager, "There was a boom of a bass drum, and the voice of the orchestra leader rang out suddenly above the echolalia of the garden."(Fitzgerald, p.50). Our shows were never this fancy, and we played rock and roll not jazz, but still there is something special about hearing live music outside with a group of people. Just like Gatsby's party, those nights that we played in the summer air were memorable just as much for the crowd as they were for the music.
