I chose the image of a golf course as Jordan Baker was an athletic girl in the novel. Jordan Baker represented the modern girl during the Roaring Twenties. I chose the image of a girl looking away from the camera as I believe that Jordan Baker often did what she wanted, and would stand out and be different from society. Also, the image of the girl looking away from the camera reminded me of Jordan as Jordan was over-confident throughout the novel, and often believed that she was superior to everyone else. She often helped out Gatsby and Daisy with their love problems, but she would always complain about the couple to Nick. I chose the picture of a young flapper as it represented the opposite of Jordan Baker. Even though Jordan Baker was different from other girls, she was not the typical flapper during that time period as she did not go crazy around guys and was not the "damsel in distress." I chose the image of New York City as Jordan seems like the typical city girl. Jordan was fresh and modern and knew where to go/what to do during the whole novel.
In Jordan's words:
I picked the image of the white and black curtains as I feel like I am a very strong individual who is composed of many thoughts and concerns. If you look closely, you can see that the curtains contain words. Those words represent all the things others say about me. A lot of people say respectable things about me as I am someone they look up too. I feel like I am a role model to many individuals. Of course I picked the image of an athletic girl stretching as I chose to be different and not the typical girl by indulging myself in a sport. Golf changed my life and made me the person I am today. I picked the image of a huge mansion as I have grown accustomed to a certain type of living. This is shown by me constantly attending famous parties and getting involved with the wealthy, and not the poor.
