Mothers Day

Great Gatsby Hits The Big
Screen

The 2013 New York Times
Bestselling Fiction List

The modern holiday of Mother’s Day was first
celebrated in 1908, when Anna Jarvis held
a memorial for her mother in America. She
then began a campaign to make “Mother’s
Day” a recognized holiday in the United
States. Although she was successful in
1914, she was already disappointed with its
commercialization by the 1920s. Jarvis’ holiday
was adopted by other countries and it is now
celebrated all over the world. In this tradition,
each person offers a gift, card, or remembrance
toward their mothers, grandmothers, and/ or
maternal figure on mother’s day..

An adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Long

Carraway is lured into the lavish world of his
neighbor, Jay Gatsby. Soon enough, however,
Carraway will see through the cracks of

obsession, madness, and tragedy await.
