I think the Great Gatsby was one of the only books I actually read all the way through in my American Literature class. Which, unfortunately, we read around the same time as his short story The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, which was also around the time the movie came out, so we had to go see it as a fieldtrip thing, and there is nothing worse than 100 high schoolers in a theater watching that movie. it just-- was bad. it was bad, and I hate benjamin button, which gets tied in with my thoughts to Gatsby, and then I just make this face :/. because then we watched the movie version of the great gatsby and it was-- just-- anyway. I no longer remember the book. besides like, the plot. I don't remember the writing, I suppose would be more accurate.
