The Great Gatsby
In the book The Great Gatsby it starts off talking about a guy Nick who has gotten a new job as a bonds man. Then he meets another person who is at his work and they decide to get a house together. This was a good thing for Nick because he doesn’t know where to live because he is in a new place and was a little scared of what he would do. Then he goes out to his new house and on the way I believe he met his neighbor on the way. After a while he has to go to his cousins house who lives in the East Egg, or the rich part of this place where as Nick lives in the West Egg, which is the poor part of this place. Then at his cousins house a lot of new things come up like a new person there he hasn’t met, Miss Jordan Baker, and he finds out Tom is cheating on Daisy with some other woman in New York. Daisy is having a hard time with this and with Tom and even though she doesn’t come out and say it you can tell because of how she acts when she is alone with Nick in the garden. Then before he goes home Daisy starts talking about how Nick will be seeing a lot of Jordan and how she is going to try to fling them together. Then he is going home and he sees his neighbor Gatsby and wants to talk to him but by the time he arrives there Gatsby is gone.

I'd like to see more than a simple summary in your blogs. I'd like to see you form opinions about the characters--their actions, personalities, etc. Make predictions, ask questions, etc.
