Commencing My Journey Through a Classic Novel: The Great Gatsby
My mother, specifically, likes to keep me busy. If I'm bored, then she'll suggest me a book to read. I'd rather be a lazy bum and watch TV, but thet's just my 21st. Century self. My mother suggested me last weekend to read Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. I told her that I will see what I can do, and insted of reading the thousand page neckbreaker, I decuided to go for an easy classic read, made into a movie rendition last year. I am, of course, speaking of The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. The main plot is about an aristocrat, Jay Gatsby, who used to be very unfortunate, and during his years of poveryty, he has a crush on a girl who had a thing for rich guys. She marries a rich man, just in time for Gatsby to make his journey from rags to riches. He tries to win her heart, despite the fact that she is married. The plot, here, is very interesting, and I would love to dive deeper into this famous novel.

The Great Gatsby is on the list of books I want to read. I really like the time period the story takes place in. I think books that take place in the past allow us to see what life was like back then. A lot of my friends loved the movie though I have yet to see it. But hey, who doesn't love a Leonardo DiCaprio movie?
ReplyDeleteThe Great Gatsby is such a good movie. If you have not watch the whole thing you have to. It is one of my favorite movies of all time and I hope you love the book. I have not read but if it is atleast half as good as the movie it is perfect!
ReplyDeleteThat's an interesting book i've heard. It seems that the Great Gatsby has a lot of good meaning, but personally I didn't like the ending. I like the font though.
