The Character Gatsby: The man I did not expect to read about.
Before reading this book, I compared in my mind Gatsby to Morrie. Thinking he was a kind man. As I read the book, I found the man was quite wealthy, and possessed an interest in Jazz. Fitzgerald, pursued my interest in him throughout the story, before the eventual meeting between Fitzgerald and Gatsby. He used descriptive words and he symbolized Gatsby's house like a temple. It seems everyone seemed interested in that house. In the second chapter he presented a party, ( though it was more a banquet) it seemed everyone wanted to be there, even people who were not invited. This made me to believe in the large prominence of the rich man, made me think about the movie about a child who found 1 billion dollars and took upon a second persona. When the character Gatsby was introduced, he displayed his professionalism, making me assume the man was rather snobbish. As the story progressed, he displayed himself different from most wealthy men.
