And Just Like That It Is All Over

     Time for me to state my opinion! First, I loved The Great Gatsby.  I really enjoyed reading it a lot more than The House of Mirth.  I think having it written in first person point of view really helped me get emotionally involved with the novel.  F. Scott Fitzgerald is a great writer, and he made me feel as if I was there the whole time.  His descriptions were very vivid and graphic.  I really cannot put into words how much I loved this book.  I went through so many emotions during the time I spent reading it.  I would definitely recommend this novel to someone.  Actually, I would highly recommend it.  It is probably one of my favorites that I have had to read for school.  When I read the final line of the novel, "So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past" I felt as if the author was speaking to me personally. Some type of advice or something to think about and question.  It was a great ending to the novel.  I LOVED IT.
