The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald

The book is very weird at the beginning it was very tough trying to get into it. There was a quote on the first page that got my attention it was “Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone, just remember that all the people this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had.”

                My family’s not very wealthy.  We never got a lot my mom and dad divorced when I was about 6 my parents are both still in my life. We were very happy family no matter what but the nice things weren’t there. My grandparents were a big part of our lives at that time. I have 2 older brothers and 2 younger sisters. We went to a privet school over in Bismarck called Saint Mary’s.  My grandparent paid for that so we moved over to Mandan.  There we found a good home we got a dog and lived happily.

                There was another saying that the author said that got my eye I found this one kind of funny. On page 3 it says “The practical thing was to find rooms on the city, but it was a warm season, and I had just left a country of wide lawns and friendly trees…”  That made me think about when my brother left for college up in Minot everything that he was thing. How difficult it was on my mother how I got my license faster because I had to get my sisters from school. How everything changes at that moment for my entire family.

                I didn’t get very far in this book because it’s hard to get into. For me this book is slow I don’t think I’m going to get in to this one right now. So many people were entering at one time that I got lost. So I think that I am going to stop reading this and start up with 1984 I believe  it was called.
