F. Scott Fitzgerald an amazing author in my opinion, in 1925, wrote The Great Gatsby. This novel is great and probably one of his best books he has ever written. This novel separates the poor from the wealth, and ties love with the rich. This novel shows different views on different people from different backgrounds and classes. This novel takes place in the make believe towns called East Egg, and West Egg. When the books main character Nick Carraway arrives to West Egg to visit his cousin Daisy he realizes how horrible all their lives really are and how much better off he is back in East Egg. This is a really good book that show’s how the poor are separated from the wealth, and how the wealthy will do anything to get what they want. The book starts off by the narrator and main character Nick Carraway heading to the west to visit his cousin Daisy. Once he arrives to Daisy’s he rents a house a crossed the lake from Daisy’s. Soon he realizes that he is living beside the wealthiest man in West Egg named Jay Gatsby and he really wants to meet him. Nick heads over to see his cousin Daisy and is introduced to a woman named Jordan Baker. Shortly after meeting Jordan, Nick realizes that he is attracted to her and begins a romantic relationship with her.

Nick later that day gets invited to one of Gatsby’s famous Saturday night parties and goes with Jordan. After being at the party and looking for Jay Gatsby, Nick runs into a man that has served in the same branch of the army as he did and finds out that his name is Jay Gatsby. Nick... ...their feet.
