Creative Gatsby Piece
I see a feather outside the window. It floats low, moving randomly from the sidewalk to the grass. As it is just about to land on the road, a car passes by the feather and gives it a push to fly even higher. A couple more blasts of wind would send it into the clouds. The feather lingers in the sky, above the houses and the trees. The sun shines brightly and the birds chirp loudly, but the wind is beginning to end. The feather gently sinks little by little, but it has not hit the ground yet. It approaches the interstate, where the cars and trucks keep the feather afloat as they pass by. If it can just get one gust of wind, it may have a chance. The clouds are turning dark, but the feather remains afloat. Suddenly, a blast of wind not so far away kicks the feather high into the sky. It is now flying along with a flock of migrating geese, just inches below the clouds. The clouds are now black. The feather dances gracefully in the sky, inching higher with every step. However, this is as high as it will get. After a couple claps of thunder, drops of rain pour down to earth. The feather tries to resist the force but it was too much. One after another, raindrops pile onto it and the load was too heavy to bear.
As the precipitation accumulates, the feather limps against the current until there is nothing left to help it. His lifelong goal of attaining Daisy shatters, making his life almost purposeless. Unfortunately, he leaves for the war and returns to find that Daisy has left for another man. In his quest, Gatsby meets Daisy and his goal becomes clear. Gatsby's dream ends with his death. The feather lies lifelessly, soaked in rainwater, and then in mud after a couple of cars passed by. " This festive night ends in the gutters. As if he is just inches below the clouds, Gatsby can feel his dream becoming reality. Cars scramble to exit the mansion well after midnight, as drunk drivers struggle to safely exit. The descent hastens, yet Gatsby has not given up. Born to a low-income family of farmers in North Dakota, Gatsby is unsatisfied with his life. As the children run out from their homes, another feather blasts into the air. Raindrops stain it and add to its weight. Its rise reflects Nick's hope of becoming wealthy and Gatsby's desire to have Daisy.
