This week we finished The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. This iconic novel was incredibly well written. Although the plot angered me, the poetry in Fitzgerald’s writing keeps you from putting it down. Nevertheless, the fact that it brought out such a strong emotion in me in itself shows the artistry in the work. Furthermore, this was a very different story. It was not predictable, and one could connect with and understand every single character. From Nick’s dad’s advice, to the memorable line at the end, “So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past” I will remember this book and recommend it to everyone; it is simply a must.
