Dear readers,

Today I want to write a conclusion of reading the book I have choosen.
"The Great Gatsby" is an excellent book in which to study the writer's art. In this short book the reader can detect a collection of symbolic details which make the story much more than the tale which appears on the surface: the ash heap, as a symbol of the waste of American society; the green light on Daisy's dock, which means so much to Gatsby as a symbol, until he again meets Daisy, when it again becomes, for Gatsby, as for everyone else, just a light.
The characters all play their roles in the development of the story. Shallow figures fill Gatsby's parties, but show their true level of concern for him when they all absent themselves from his funeral. The class distinctions between Daisy, a true upper class maiden, who can never lower herself to accept Gatsby, the aspirant to a class rank which wealth and parties cannot buy.
Nick Carraway is the one character in the book who develops his own moral sense. His role as narrator permits us to see Gatsby's world through his eyes. It is he who sees, and is repelled by, the rotten cores of Gatsby and the worlds in which lives and into which he aspires. He sees the corruption deep inside Tom and Daisy Buchanan. Most of all, we see the innate goodness in Tom. Observing, but not entering Gatsby's world, he is able to understand and judge it. His final evaluation of Gatsby's world is seen when he abandons it all to return to his native Midwest.
I can say that the process of reading seemed to me more interesting than I'd expected. It was really exciting, every time I began to read with pleasure. The plot of the book is so thrilling!
Of course, we ask some questions reading a book. I think if the book makes the reader think of something important or something new, it'll be called a right book. I don't regret of the choice of this book at all. The main thing I've learned is that the most important entity in our life is to follow your dream.
It wasn't so difficult to read "The Great Gatsby". Nevertheless, I think I should learn more new words and phrases to be a better reader.

With love,
Nastya
