The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald

               
          “I said lightly that I heard nothing at all, and a few minutes later I got up to go home” (Fitzgerald, 19). The narrator of this book is Nick Carraway. It is told from his point of view in first person. Since the narration is in first person, it also makes it limited. He does not know what other people think. He only knows what he thinks and what others say aloud. I think it would be interesting to see this novel told in third person omniscient point of view. It would be interesting to see the thoughts of the other characters. I would especially like to know what Gatsby was thinking when he was at the pond next to Nick. Nick mentioned that he seemed to be trembling. I can imagine that he was looking at the green light and thinking about Daisy.
