Synopsis

“Old Tang, you activated speed-related Genetic Base Points. What’s the direction of those Base Points?” This question caused Tang Ting to have a melancholic expression. “It’s… Hand speed…” “And the right hand at that!” Xu Tui slipped onto a daze. Hand speed and the right hand. This image… Didn’t the teacher say that it was easier to activate the Base Points of the areas you use the most? “Old Tang, just what do you use your hands for?” “According to that explanation, did I activate the Genetic Base Points in my stomach because I’ve eaten 18 year’s worth of meals?” Cheng Mo, who was on his way to becoming a glutton, looked up and sighed.

Please welcome Sir Arthur Hastings to deliver a speech on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the University of London.” Arthur's gaze swept across the crowd before him, looking at the young faces and murmured, “Agares, what do you think I should say?” The Red Devil's wraith hovered behind him, saliva almost dribbling from the corner of his mouth, “Look at these ignorant souls; they still worship you as a hero. Why not say something they'd like to hear?” Arthur took a deep breath and let out a deafening roar, “Oxford is a bunch of whores' bastards!” “Oh!!!!” The audience erupted into thunderous applause. “Cambridge is the same!” he added immediately.

Sure. 'The Great Gatsby' is a great American novel. It delves deep into the themes of class, love, and the disillusionment of the American Dream.

Gatsby's unwavering pursuit of Daisy, despite the odds, shows the power of love but also the futility when faced with the harsh realities of class differences.

One reason could be its portrayal of the American Dream. It shows the hollowness of the pursuit of wealth and status which is often associated with the American Dream. The characters are morally corrupt and their lives are filled with vanity and false hopes, which goes against the positive ideals often associated with a 'great' American novel.
