Blog #2. The Great Gatsby

This week I read chapter 2. Again, I sometimes regret why I chose this book but still this book is interesting if you read carefully. The author showed that Tom and Daisy's marriage is not that stable and they are not close enough. And the author emphasized at this chapter. Tom drags Nick to follow him on the train. Tom takes Nick to Wilson's garage and there, they meet a beautiful women. Nick later finds out that Tom actually cheated on his wife and the women was MRS. WILSON! So that means they both cheated their wife or husband. They have party and Nick tries to get out from the party, but he couldn't. Almost at the end of the party, Mrtyle, Mrs. Wilson, brings up the topic, Daisy. Tom gets little bit angry and told her not to say about anything about Daisy. Mrtyle gets mad, too and resists from whatever Tom said. Tome gets mad and makes the party to be finished by punching Mrtyle.

In this book, until now, the character I don't like most is Tom. He wants to do everyrthing in his way and force someone naturally. He likes to give compliment for himself. He also orders someone and that means he is looking down on someone.

Blog #1. The Great Gatsby

I choose 'The Great Gatsby' for my individual reading book. I read only untill chapter 1. One chapter was pretty short; however, I could not understand, I had to read same passage over and over again. The first chapter was very interesting. A person who led the story in this book was Nick Carraway who is from Minnesota and used to work at the bank. He talked about how he grew and what his father taught him. He is now moved to New York and lives at the West Egg. And East Egg was for the rich. Also right next to Nick's house, there is a big beautiful mension. Nick also introduced his neighbor, Tom and Daisy. They invited Nick to their dinner and Jordan ,the golfer, is introduced. Nick becomes little bit interested to Jordan and Tom and Daisy try to connect those two.

The author of this book wrote this book very interestingly. The author talked in Nick's point-of-view in the book. At the beginning, he talks about that his father taught him not to judge others by first impression, but if you look closely, this is irony. The reason why is because he acts differently from what he said he was.
