The Great Gatsby

Book Review by: kumar1     

Original Author: Gay Gatsby
When materialism arises with lust"Gatsby" is born. Don't ask Americans,who is Gatsby?For the critics, he is nihilist, he
declinesperceptiveness of ethics and pretentious of being perfidious. Theauthor is the magnificent example of his own tragedy and if you gothrough the pages, you'll find Gatsby still standing and asking thatthe verdict given to him wasjustice to an author or not. Were his actsso obnoxious that "Gay" couldn't be forgiven?These questionsdon't letme sleep, sometimes society becomes so ludicrous that I wonder to beitspart.G.M. Trevelyan once said "Education has produced vast populationable toread but unable to distinguish what is worth reading." Trevelyanwords are so remarkable thatif we miss readingGatsby, so nothing hasbeen read by us yet. The first thing that strikes one on reading Gatsby is the restraintfeeling and extravagant fancy that led some critics to appreciate hisart. Impeccably, the author has just given the panoramic view of theAmerican's era of Fifty but nothing coherent with Americaand till todaywhat they still believe. How can I forget that day, when in theshuffling waves he risked his life for earning some dollars, now beinga millionaire he could have forgotten it. I know and very wellunderstand my words are just myopic for his legendry creation."Your networth to the worldis usually determined by what remains after your badhabits are subtracted from your good ones." - Benjamin FranklinFranklin being a scientist has described the human parameter of socialresponsibility in a very rational manner. Now, it is time for us togive a rational opinion without making any delay for him, remember heis waiting for justice fromfive decades. Don’t you think? It’s a longtimefor someone to get it. Concluding all this in the term of HermAlbright it would be not wrong to saythat - a positive attitude may notsolve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to makeitworth the effort.Processing data, please wait ...
