I loved The Great Gatsby. I thought it was a very well written book and that Fitzgerald did a good job of portraying the personalities of the characters. I like to feel emotion when I’m reading a book and I was glad to have that experience while reading this. I don’t like when I read something and the author doesn’t make me care about any of the characters or what they’re going through. That’s bad writing, in my opinion, but Fitzgerald did a great job making sure that you felt something towards the characters. I felt very bad for Gatsby and how he tried so hard to find things in life to bring him happiness.

I had a love relationship with Nick. He was very passive and was content to stand by and watch things happen, whether they were good or bad. I liked reading the book through his eyes though. It made me feel like I was actually there witnessing it as well, though I hope I would have been a bit more outspoken.
