The best thing about The Great Gatsby
The best thing about The Great Gatsby is the realism in the characters. Jay, for example isn't just a polished rich guy in New York. Jay has a very shady past and human fears. His emotions for Daisy are very human, not just typical love story, happily ever after. He gets jealous, he makes mistakes. It happens and he accepts this and moves on. Daisy also isn't just a polished, beautiful girl either. She has her fears and anxieties just like Jay, and it gives you a deep connection in the book. Empathy draws the characters to you in this book. You feel their emotions, and that is the best thing about this American Classic.

I like how you described Jay. I also agree with you when you said you can fell their emotions.
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds very good, I like the way you described the characters in the book.
ReplyDeleteI really like how you captured the emotions of the characters, and how you connected with the feelings they are conveying.
ReplyDeleteI might have to read this book just to get a feel of a realistic love-story
