The Great Gatsby

In high school, I was never forced to read The Great Gatsby. I do see why all my friends hated it though. I didn't hate it, but I didn't absolutely love it. There was practically no plot, but we only saw things from the narrator's POV Nick Carraway. There wasn't much to his character. He didn't really add anything to the story. Daisy Buchanan was a total ditz. Some things she did and said, I rolled my eyes multiple times. I liked when we found out that Daisy and Gatsby were former flames. Didn't see that coming at all. Tom Buchanan was a jerk, but I did feel bad for him when his mistress was run. He was cheating on his wife, Daisy, with another man's wife Myrtle Wilson and Daisy knew about it. I liked Gatsby and how he always said, "Old Sport" and his devotion to Daisy. I liked Jordan Baker and really wanted her to end up with Nick. In the end, I knew multiple people were going to die, but I didn't know that Gatsby was going to be one of them. I saw it coming about 3 or 4 pages before it happened. Really curious to see how they do the film. Be on the look out for that review on my other blog.
