The Great Gatsby
When my teacher in high school, told my classmates and I that we were going to be reading “The Great Gatsby,” for our class I was a little mad. At the time I did not do much reading and I defiantly did not like reading a book that someone had to make me read. So I had gotten in my mind that I was going to hate this book and there was no point in reading it. Then, the day came when my teacher passed “The Great Gatsby” out to the class. Of course, we started to read the book in class that day too. While reading the book in class, I noticed that I actually kind of liked this book. So from there on out I actually read a book for class and liked it. I believe that, I liked this book so much was because I like love stories and in “The Great Gatsby” there was a love story between Gatsby and Daisy. What amazed me about Gatsby and Daisy was that they had fallen in love when they were young but then WWII had broken them up because Gatsby was sent off to war. But the whole time they were apart they stilled had feelings for each other that never died. When Gatsby and Daisy finally meet again it was like they were never apart but for that Daisy was married and had a young daughter. What really broke my heart was that Daisy did not leave her husband to go with her true love Gatsby in the end.

I love the fact that you were "mad" that your teacher was making you read a book! Ha, ha. I loved the novel, too. I really like his language, just like the description you read aloud in class. (Great minds think alike!)
