My Gatsby Character.

This character was inspired after i watched the trailer to the newest Gatsby movie and realized Tobey Maquire was in the movie. I enjoyed his quirkiness in the movie spiderman intriguing so i decided I'd make a character whose somewhat obsessed with him. I created this character before reading the blog and realizing she had to be a modern version but the thought of scrapping my work kinda peeved me off so i'm posting the original character too. The second Character i list will be my modern character.

Character Info:

Name: Pamela Dohee
Age: 27
Residence: East Egg
Personality: Raised in a life of luxury  Pamela Dohee has lived a rather lavish life. Her father is known to be one of the richest men in East Egg. Miss. Dohee spends her day meeting wealthy young men on dates her father arranges. Though showered in decadence, Miss. Dohee has no interest in material things. She enjoys nature and the simple things in life and an occasional glass of wine every evening. She's rather shy and has difficulties being as outspoken as her peers expect her to be but don't let this fool you, the quiet ones are always the ones you must watch out for.
Love interest: Nick Carroway.

Modern Version:

Due to my lack of following up the blog post because i think im such a know it all, this character was mostly thought of in a last minute sense so please bear with me. I've decided to switch it around and make it a male instead of a female due to the fact that many female of this generation don't appeal to me ( no offense ladies, just being real.) But regarding to what i said earlier, a modern character is very last minute so this short story won't have too much related to Gatsby besides a party theme.
Character Info:

Name: Jarid Pharr
Age: 17
Residence: Southern California/ Los Angeles
Personality:  -

I find it a little difficult to write a story on a last minute character so i'm not really going to "write a story" i'm just going to create and post the synopsis instead.

This story is about a teenager named Jarid Pharr preparing for his sweet 17 birthday party, a few problems arise during the last few preparations needed and he turns to his friends for help. But instead of receiving the help needed they complain and form excuses on why they can't help but they still manage to emphasize how essential it is for him to throw the party. Jarid spends hours trying to find help and correct the problems without any success. He attempts to ask his friends for help again and they still flake on him but this time they manage to threaten their friendship if Jarid fails to fix the problems. Jarid goes through every facebook friend, twitter/tumblr and instagram follower and still has a turn out of no help. He realizes that the party wont bring him closer to his friends but only let his friends eat closer into his wallet and he decides to cancel the party. Realizing that money really can't buy happiness.

And that ladies and gents is my poorly written, ghetto synopsis.
