The name of this book is "Jake, Reinvented". Gordon Korman tells us a story that is very similar to “The Great Gatsby”. But this story happened during our time. Although this book is not about love, but about selfishness and betrayal. The “Gatsby” in “Jake, Reinvented” is Jake Garret. No one knew who he was or where he came from. Although he is the new beast snapper the Fitz football team has ever had. But everyone knows him for his legendary parties. Every single Friday Jake hosts the parties. Every single student at Fitz High School wants to be invited. The author tells us this story from the face of Rick Paradise. At one of his parties Jake met Rick himself and then Rick introduced Jake to his friend, Todd Buckley. Buckley is the quarterback of the Fitz football team, a super star. Everyone respects him or simply fears him… In my opinion it is both, at the same time. Todd has perfect authority among the high school students and his teammates. We can understand this from a couple of quotes from the book, such as “Taking Jake's side against Todd Buckley would be a suspended offense to Fitz. Page 143. This quote shows us that no one would go against Todd, because if you did, it means you are alone against all the Fitz students. Or in the dialogue between Todd and Rick, Rick says, “Everyone here thinks you're more than just a third-rate quarterback from a third-rate school. And not you! If I feed you in Nelson, the sun will rise tomorrow anyway. No one spoke to Todd this way. "-Not for you." And he stormed out of the locker room." Page 143. That quote shows us a good example of Todd's personality. He used to force people to do what he wanted, and if they didn't... well, bad for them. So after Todd and Jake met... halfway through the card... what wasn't Jake! But he couldn't because Jake himself didn't want that to happen. His only option to help Jake is to find a friend of Jake's and show the judge that Garret is a good guy and make him give Jake Garret a second chance. And what are you grateful that happened? Maybe this quote will help you guess: “I should have known before. No one would come to support Jake. Not even a single soul." Without parties, beer, and free pizza, no one needed Jake. Those hundreds and hundreds of teenagers who went to his parties called themselves Garret's recently deceased friends. Didi also didn't show up. This story tells us how selfish and evil people can be. After all, Jake Garret moved to Texas to live with his mother. The Great Gatsby was murdered. What is there in common at the end of those stories? A good guy is gone. Works cited Jake Reinvented
