Its about a man who secretly tries to get answers for his homework assignments.

 

[datznasty]

you didn't justa read it. You want us to tell you about it so you don't have to.

 

[viiheaven]

It's actually a very deep book, but I'm not telling you why.

Just about old money(born rich)/new money(became rich), shows that at the end of the day money means nothing if you have no one to share it with.

Man it is the most boring book I've ever read. Its about a dude who was born broke and gets rich by being a bootlegger. Then he goes around acting likehe's always been rich and tries to get this girl who he wanted when he was younger. Then he dies. Does that help with your book report? We just got donereading it to but change my words up because that was my report right there.

It was a great read for me in highschool and I had to read it again in college. Don't watch the movie, read the book.

I enjoyed Catcher in the Rye but a book that was preety boring was The Giver

I read Great Gatsby in high school and didn't really like it. Now that we had to read it in college again I appreciate it much more.

 

[iceman3699]

ahh the Great Gatsby ... if only I payed attention in english class during high school, i would be able to help you out.

 

[theraygunz]

It's about Nick Carraway and how cool he is. Gatsby is cool too, he was dumb rich.

Your craaaaaaaaaaaaaazy , the giver was deep, best book I ever read in my life...come to think about it one of the very few complete books I've read inmy life

I wish they would make that into a modern day movie. Someof you dudes are not clever at all, you do know that almost every school in the country makes they're students read the gatsby, you don't think thereis some type of summary somewhere on teh internets?

******ed* and YAWN, Great Gatsby is over hyped and boring as hell. Catcher in the Rye and The Giver were great books though.

The Great Gatsby is amazing.

It was my summer reading book for AP Lang in 11th grade, and most classes spent a couple weeks on it, then moved on, but my teacher easily spent a month and ahalf on it and it made me appreciate the book tremendously.

I plan on re-reading it fairly soon.
