Blog 31
I think that the story that we are reading is getting a little bit more interesting. We are find out a lot more about Gatsby and his interest. What do you think of the story so far and of Gatsby?
I think that the story is really coming along and is an easy "attention grabber" for the reader. I think Gatsby spends a little to much money on people that wouldnt have known him unless he did have the luxurious parties at his house. I like how each character has at least 1 person that they are with in the story, and in 2 cases, it being two people.
So far i really like the book. Its not boring and a real easy read. It first i thought it was going to be a real cheesy love story but it is much more. There is drama in this book, but it is interesting and a little different.You rarely read stories about the life of the rich, epically in the 1920's Its one of those books you want to keep reading to find out whats going to happen next. I am excited to hear that this story is only going to get better.
So far i think that it is very interesting. As the story goes on i am getting more attached to the book. It gets more in depth to what all happened during thatb time period and shows alot of things flarring up such as Nick and Jordan. And of Gatsby i know that there is alot more then what meets the eye to this man.
I must say that this story was one that I had to hear Mr. Dutrow describe and map out to me before actually wanting to read it. And I have actually been told by so many Seniors that the book is very good and that I need not to be bored with the chapters that seem boring because it eventually picks up and gets better. And certainly I have seen it do that in the last two chapters.
so far I am realy starting to like the book more and more things are tying together and the book is coming together. So far I like the character gatsby because of the life he lives and what he's done.
