JORDAYLA — All American 6.04: Black Out

[camelliasinensis81]

I think that maybe the reason English teachers don't like me is because they're all too scared to admit that most characters in classic literature are gay. Luckily, I have no problem saying that.

Jordan Baker really is the woman ever. She’s an heiress. She’s a golf champion. She cheats at golf. She’s “incurably dishonest.” She can’t stand not to be in control in any relationship she’s in. She’s a horrible driver. Her only family is her aunt. She’s so incredibly cavalier about her dad dying. She’s a pawn in Gatsby’s plan and she doesn’t seem to care beyond thinking he’s crazy. She loves Daisy. She couldn’t care less what happens to Daisy. She claims to have a fiancé and the narrator can’t decide whether she’s lying. She’s in a situationship with said narrator. Literary critics have been calling her gay since the 1940s. She’s integral to the themes of the book. She doesn’t matter to the plot at all, she’s just there to look good and be a foil to Nick and to Daisy. She’s the only sane person in the whole book and she’s definitely got something wrong with her. I wonder if she’s free Saturday

Do you guys think that if Nick, Gatsby, Tom, Daisy, Jordan, Myrtle, and the others were put into a high school setting, all the girls would start noticing that Nick and Gatsby are a bit too close?

compared to everyone else cheating on their spouse, jordan cheating in golf doesn't seem like such a big deal

JORDAYLA — All American 6.04: Black Out

[aksiris]

The only completely stationary object in the room was an enormous couch on which two young women were buoyed up as though upon an anchored balloon. They were both in white and their dresses were rippling and fluttering as if they had just been blown back in after a short flight around the house. I must have stood for a few moments listening to the whip and snap of the curtains and the groan of a picture on the wall. Then there was a boom as Tom Buchanan shut the rear windows and the caught wind died out about the room and the curtains and the rugs and the two young women ballooned slowly to the floor.
