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.
