The Great Gatsby
by F. Scott Fitzgerald
“So we
beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past”
(Fitzgerald, 180). The Great Gatsby
was a much better book than The House of
Mirth. It was easier to follow the story. It was much shorter. The story
did not jump from one character to another. Rather, it concentrated on Nick
Carraway and his actions. Moreover, the book was easier to comprehend than The House of Mirth. I found it sad that
Jay Gatsby died. It dampened my spirits and sort of ruined the ending. However,
I found the ending, specifically the last sentence of the book, to be truly
profound and enlightening. It reminds me that we need to move on, continue
life, and let go of past feelings. This will stick through my head as I
conclude my final year of high school and as I head off to college.
