angelphatwu 's review for:
The Great Gatsby
by F. Scott Fitzgerald
Definitely one of my favorite books.
Taken place in the Roaring 20s (the Jazz Age), Fitzgerlad writes of Jay Gatsby, a man who defies pragmatistic ways. He tries to recapture the past and ultiamately fails to do so. Obviously, I'm not here to tell you about what book's plot is so here's a list of things that I loved bout the book.:
1) The imagery. Fitzgerald was so intelligent with his diction. ESPECIALLY the expository scene. Readers immediately get a sense of the tone and theme of the book.
2) The symbolic "eyes" and the desert. What was Fitzgerald thinking? The enigmatic meaning of these symbols not only provokes curiosity from but elaborates into an intricate interest from me for the book.
3) Morality: the question that was raised throughout the book. HOW FAR IS TOO FAR when it comes to pursuing what YOU think is right?
4) The hollowness to the sustainable profit that the American Dream promises... the way it was presented to readers, genius!
Anyways, I loved this book. I hope this review is a good enough review for you to read this book.
