The description of their house was extraordinarily beautiful, and their house is red and white just like my dream home.įitzgerald also portrayed the two women on the couch and the dinner at sunset perfectly and beautifully. Though I found Gatsby’s mansion beautiful and heavenly, I thought that East Egg was more interesting than the West Egg, when Nick went over to his cousin Daisy and Tom’s house. I don’t know why I found it that amusing, maybe it was the fact that he could be happy and feel on top of the world with something so little.

When a man asked Nick how to get to West Egg village, and Nick didn’t feel lonely anymore as if he was a guide, and original settler and felt that, that man conferred him the freedom of the neighborhood- made me laugh. I wish he talked more about his childhood and family. The fact that Nick is a Yale graduate caught my interest too as I spent the summer in Yale University.

Also when Nick decides to be in the bond business, his family’s reaction (‘’All my aunts and uncles talked it over as if they were choosing a prep school for me, and finally said ‘Why- ye-es with very grave, hesitant faces’’ (pg.4)) shows that his family is a very connected and close family. Just like Nick, I tried to understand what his father tried to say, his advice is also ‘’turning over in my mind’’ just like in Nick’s.Īfter the deep beginning of the book, which is beautiful, but still kind of heavy and hard to understand I started to understand fully when Nick began to talk about his well-rooted family and their life in the Middle West. I found this rather an effective beginning and it caught my interest, making me want to read more.

‘’Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone, just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had’’ said his father. The chapter starts with Nick talking about the advice that his father gave to him in his ‘’younger and more vulnerable years’’, and he has been thinking about it and trying to wrap his mind around it ever since.
