The Great Gatsby takes place in New York City around 1920. It talks about how the narrator participated in a migration after the great war which shows how long ago the narrator lived. The book is about this man how lives near a rich man, Gatsby, and how he followed his friends relationships. Together they go threw years of their life together analyzing the actions of others.
I think that this book is important because it represents the American dream. Gatsby’s dream is to be untied with his love Daisy even though she has a life on her own. Many people can relate to this because they can spend their whole lives searching for true love. Another reason this book is important is because it represents acceptance. Even though Nick was very different than Gatsby, he was still Gatsby’s friend. Nick was very poor and was hardly able to live where he was but Gatsby, who was very rich and lived a luxurious lifestyle, took him in as if there were no differences between them.
The Great Gatsby was a wonderful book which not only transported me to a different time and culture, but also made me realize things about myself.
I agree with you about being transported back in time. I could see myself driving fast cars and partying like crazy!
