Let me just start off by saying that I was so excited to start reading The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Knowing that there is a movie coming out based on this novel has made me more eager to read it. When I started reading I was amazed at Fitzgerald's use of adjectives and descriptions of the characters. He really helps me to understand each character more deeply. The way that he described Tom Buchanan allowed me to visualize him and get a sense of what he is like. Fitzgerald states that "two shining arrogant eyes had established dominance over his face and gave him the appearance of leaning aggressively forward" (Fitzgerald, 7). The diction that Fitzgerald uses is smart and makes me want to keep reading. I really like the way that he writes.
So here is my first question. Of course I am not really introduced to Gatsby yet, but he is obviously a monumental person in this novel. I was confused as to why Daisy asked " 'What Gatsby?' " (Fitzgerald, 11). He is a person so I am not really sure as to why she said "what". I am definitely interested to find out more about this fellow.
