So now in the book, Rosemary is continuing to fall in love with Dick, but their love is hard because they have to continue to hide it from Nicole. In this passage Dick and Rosemary are parting for the night, but the strength of their relationship is very prevalent.
When he had tottered out Dick and Rosemary embraced fleetingly.There was a dust of Paris over both of them through which they scented each other: the rubber guard on Dick's fountain pen, the faintest odor of warmth from Rosemary's neck ans shoulders. For another half-minute Dick clung to the situation; Rosemary was first to return to reality.
I like how they snap into reality(in next paragraph). But what i really find unique about this paragraph is the words Fitzgerald uses to describe the setting such as the "dust" and the part about his "fountain pen"
I agree, the book IS really confusing, but good job sticking it out! I liked the passage you chose, especially the part at the end, "Rosemary was the first to return to reality." I like how the author words things, and how he really seems to put feeling into what he writes.
ReplyDeleteI cant believe you are still reading this! Im glad someone got good out of it, but you should really read the book we are reading :)
ReplyDeleteI really like the way you explain whats going on in the book. i also like the passage you picked because for some reason it makes me feel what they are feeling. although i dont know whats happening in the book, but like you said "the strength of their relationship is prevalent" you can see from the passage that their relationship is strong. But im surprised you havent started the book we are reading because it is wonderful and i think most of us are done with it already.l
