Free Write (Late my apologies)
So far the Great Gatsby (although a bit confusing) has been a great book. All the characters are well thought out, and Fitzgerald provides enough background and realism to allow for investment in those characters. The vocabulary is superb and I even plan on harvesting some of it for my own works later. Another trait I admire is the superb philosophy. The "pretty little fool" line is still stuck in my head. I'm proud to admit that The Great Gatsby had probably the biggest impact ending I've ever read. It was unexpected and rocked many people to their core, and I must admit for a book that was mandatory reading, it actually recieved conversation time...outside of english class. And that alone is a huge feat
