Gossip+Article



We decided to do a small gossip cover because the setting is in New York and there is always gossip going around. Also there are a lot of scandals among the characters of the story. Daisy has an affair with Gatsby, Tom has an affair with Myrtle, Myrtle's death, and the secret behind Gatsby's wealth. The story seems to climax with Myrtle's death and everything seems to unravel from there. Who killed Myrtle and how it happened would be juicy gossip in any town. Also the relation of the Buchanan's leaving so soon after Myrtle's death would arouse suspicion in any town. The reason for the quote from the book is because it is true. The whole time period there were sex scandals and a lot drunkenness. Gatsby's parties left many people drunk and there was the two affairs in the novel. The Gossip Article is basically written as a journalist would have written about the incident.
