My Final Blog: My Favorite Story

We have read so many great stories and poems. But one story that I really enjoyed reading this semester was The Great Gatsby. It made me smile while reading it. I felt that I got to know what Jay Gatsby wanted as much as we all would want: to rekindle an old love we had and then lost. It made me rather upset when reading that Gatsby was shot because he was one of my favorite characters in the entire story. He was the type of guy that you would want to hang out with and somehow want to get to know the real truth about the guy with the many parties. I wrote a previous blog about seeing the new Great Gatsby movie with Leo DiCaprio as Jay Gatsby. I really loved the movie but after reading the story before watching the movie, I love the book a lot more. One of the reasons why I'm glad I took this online English course was that I had the opportunity to read The Great Gatsby which I really desired to read for a while now!!
