Awe How Cute (:

     I am really enjoying The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald!  This novel is just getting better and better.  I found out the reason for Gatsby's glamourous parties and house.  It is all for Daisy.  He loves her and moved right by her so that maybe one day he would see her again or she would walk into his house one night.  I could tell that he was in love with her when Jordan was telling Nick that Gatsby watched Daisy "in a way that every young girl wants to be looked at some time. . ." (Fitzgerald, 75).  This little love story reminds me of the movie The Notebook.  In the movie, a man does all he can to get a woman back after being apart for some time.  He builds a house that she once told him she dreamed of having.  When I was reading the part about Gatsby and Daisy that part of the movie came to mind.  I am so excited to see what happens between Gatsby and Daisy.  I really want them to be together!


By the way, I was just wondering why Gatsby calls people "old sport" all the time? Is there a reason behind it?
