The Great Gatsby

Written by F. Scott Fitzgerald

A book for readers in grades 11 and up reviewed by Nicholas

        

 

The Great Gatsby takes place during the Roaring 20s.The story follows a man named Jay Gatsby, a self-made millionaire, and his pursuit of his lost love, Daisy Buchanan. Gatsby flashes around his wealth and throws extravagant parties at his mansion in hopes that Daisy will find her way back to him.

I personally loved reading The Great Gatsby. The book’s many uses of symbolism gave it an overall deeper meaning. It greatly defines and represents the Roaring 20s.
