Students Signature The Great Gatsby Im known to be a very picky reader. I judge titles, the size of font, and the cover illustration. With all this in mind, I thought I would hate the Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. On the contrary, this book was a page turner, and I constantly found myself at the edge of my seat biting my nails in anticipation. The descriptions in this bo ok helps you imagine and greet the characters so vividly.Fitzgerald showsan excellent accord of lives that contain the great American Dream of being a millionaire and being happily married, yet are corrupted by greed. The more you read into the novel, the more you get pulled into a twisted love story. In the beginning of the novel, I was a little lost. I couldnt understand who goes to an extravagant mansion society without knowing who the host is, or why nobody tried to find out. Luckily, our narrator, Nick, goes searching for this host.A drunken man wearing owl glasses stumbles upon Nick and begins observing the novels on the large bookcase. To his surprise, all the novels are documentary and not a facade to make the host look intelligent. When I discussed this with my teacher, she said this may be a foreshadowing that resident of this wealthy community use wealth to cover up their wrongdoings and example decay. What is the host, Gatsby, hiding if he wasnt getting credit for a ny of his parties? This mystery pulled me into the book and thats when I began to love it.We soon meet the rich and romantic Gatsby and who seems like he has his whole life together. Hes well respected for being in the army, rich and handsome. Despite all the magic, its a cruel facade. Behind the glitter lies a sad story with gloom and intensity. The Great Gatsby shows his desire into harsh, vivid light. He is a character who is so perfectly and tragically characterized, as he forgot his honest ultimo as Jay Gatsby, and lost Daisy, his true love, who perfectly biddings her part as innocent malevolence.If thats not enough, Gatsby essential also compete with Tom, Daisys husband, who cutely watches while he boasts of his physique and wealth. The two struggle to play their position in this twisted love triangle, which harms countless victims. Among the disorder, seems to be the only one with true acquaintance of what is right, but doesnt stop the chaos. The relationship is a massac re where no one truly wins. solely in all, The Great Gatsby is about deception and the American Dream.Fitzgerald blurs our view with reality of the harsh world, yet slyly lets us see clearly enough to see Nicks view on the chaos. Because Gatsby represents the righteousness of the American Dream, Fitzgerald shows that it will only lead to the decay of innocence and trouble, as Gatsby did during his transition from an honest, to corrupt man. Fitzgerald all right handles this complex scheme in a way I have never seen replicated in authors today. I enjoy the book because once you think you know whats going to happen, Fitzgerald slyly flips the script perfectly.
