the great gatsby!!!!

Wow! What can i say about the great gatsby. When i first started to read the book i thought it was going to be amazingly boring but i was wrong. One question that i do have about the book is when daisy is suppose to leave tom to get with gatsby but she doesn't?
This book had everything that you would want in a book. The best part is that most off the people in the book was rich. One thing i didn't like about the book was that gatsby got killed (shot). I was hoping that he will be alive.


“Riches have never fascinated me, unless combined with the greatest charm or distinction.”


This quote mean that he was not so worry about getting rich. unless it had something that he really want along side of it.

This can also mean that even if he was rich it does not mean that he would be happy. Being happy and proud of what he's done in life is what really being rich is about.
–Letter, Aug. 1936, to Ernest Hemingway

  2. Carl, I think you could have done a better job with this. You didn't go into much detail about the section of the novel that you mentioned here, and you haven't connected your interpretation of the Fitzgerald quote to your reading of his text. Your post reads like you were a bit rushed writing this.
