The Great Gatsby is a story of social status, love, and deception. It follows Nick as he meets Gatsby and his complex and mysterious character. Along the journey, the reader encounters all sorts of emotions, from laughter to mourning. One of my favorite books for sure. It is a short classic that makes one ponder about their own life. I loved the amount of symbolism in this novel. Especially with the green light that Gatsby follows. Color symbolism was very heavy in this novel. I felt as if I was an outsider and following the characters on their journey. I suggest readers to read this book twice; read the book, watch the movie, and re-read the book. I feel that this heightens the experience of the novel overall, considering that the roaring 20s that this novel takes place in is such a lively time period. Overall, I enjoyed this book very much! It is a quick read that transports you back to the twenties. I suggest that if you want to read this book, you do some research on the roaring twenties to heighten your experience.
