Post The Great Gatsby
I actually had to read this book for school, but I actually liked it; big surprise. So I thought I'd make a topic, did a search and couldn't find anything else on it. I'm there other people here who've had to read it, whether they liked it or not. SO let the discussion begin!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I didn't really like the ending, I seemed chopped off to me.

I can't remember if I had to read it or if we watched it. That's all about societies and the guy who lives next door to the really rich guy right?

Yeah, it was, but it was supposed to be more focused on the neighbor, Gatsby, hence the name. It was sort of confusing to follow the story line at first, but I eventually figured out how to read it and what it was saying.

I have a natural knack that lets me see the story as I read, what about you? that may be that's why you can't remember whether you read it or saw it.

Well I think we watched it because I can read all kinds of stuff. I love reading Shakespeare and stuff. I remember this one part in the movie where one of the characters was rubbing clothes on her face! xD

I'd like to watch the movie sometime. I think it'd be interesting so see how they conveyed it to a movie. Maybe they changed the ending so that I'll like it!

He still dies... And so does that one girl.

I liked this book, too.... It was kind of romantic, especially with Gatsby and him reaching out to that green light at the end of the dock every night. Sad, too.

I'm assuming your talking about Daisy. In the book she doesn't die. The main part I guess that I'm wondering about is whether or not Nick hooks up with Jordan, the golfer? That would've made it more realistic because if they loved each other as they said they did, they would've ended up together.
