A technique that Fitzgerald employs a lot in his works is simile. In The Great Gatsby, Gatsby throws many parties in order to impress the love of his life Daisy, the lights are very bright in his house so he uses this simile "in his blue gardens, men and girls came and went like butterflies among the whispers. (Hendrickson, Styles Par 3). This comparison illustrates how bright Gatsby's house is and how it can attract people from everywhere, just like moths to a glowing light. Fitzgerald continued to use insects in his comparisons with this example, Fitzgerald describes Gatsby's car as "running like a bright yellow insect" (Hendrickson, Styles Par 3). Fitzgerald's description compares Gatsby's car to a yellow insect that runs around and helps. This is a very unique example because this example includes two comparisons; these comparisons help the reader get a metaphorical picture of Amory and the fact that he drank way too much at the party. Amory has two main loves in her life. Once again, Fitzgerald uses the unique way of having two similes in The Last Tycoon's Love. “Under the moon the background was… like the torn picture books of childhood, like fragments of stories dancing in an open fire” (Hendrickson's, Styles Par 3). These comparisons are important because they show that Hollywood for Stahr was no different from childhood because during her childhood she had the ability to create magic in her films and now the only difference is that she was creating this magic in Hollywood (Hendrickson, StylesFitzgerald could employ similar methods). techniques in all his novels; yet he uses very different techniques that are only used in one or two of his works. In The Great Gatsby, he uses the technique of repeating reckless driving repeated in his characters. lack of responsibility in the character. For example, one of the main characters in this novel named Owl Eyes leaves Gatsby's driveway and finds himself "in the ditch by the side of the road, right side up, but violently deprived of a wheel" (Hendrickson's, Styles By). 4) Unlike Owl Eyes, who fortunately does not harm anyone in the accident, "Myrtle Wilson has her life violently extinguished" (Hendrickson's, Styles Par 4), by one of Fitzgerald's main characters named Daisy who does not. Didn't even slow down. for Myrtle. In that same novel, one of the characters named Jordan Baker drives so recklessly and so close to someone that she ends up popping a button on her jacket. Fitzgerald not only uses the repetition of reckless driving to show people's lack of responsibility, but he also uses the repetition of the color green to show a sense of recklessness.
