I Love The Way You...Write

     I really enjoy the way F. Scott Fitzgerald writes in The Great Gatsby.  His diction and use of adjectives allows me to picture and feel what is happening.  Fitzgerald uses a lot of adjective noun combinations and this allows me to picture a vivid image in my head.  For example, when Gatsby was with Daisy five years ago, he says that "It was a cold fall day, with fire in the room and her cheeks flushed. . .he kissed her dark shining hair" (Fitzgerald, 150).  I am able to picture this moment because of the diction that is provided.  I am amazed at the way he writes because it seems like every event I can picture clearly. I definitely prefer this style of writing to The House of Mirth's.  I feel as if I can connect more with each and every moment.  It holds my attention more and makes me want to keep on reading. Fitzgerald's writing seems more easier for me to read through and is more smoother.  I am so close to finishing this novel but part of me does not want it to end.
