In chapter II, Nick went to Tom’s apartment and had a crazy party, speak of party, for sure there will be some people come to the party. However, is it really necessary to list and describe every single person who come to the party? I do not think so. Long describing paragraphs like, “ The sister, Catherine, was a slender, worldly girl of about thirty…”, “ Mr. McKee was a pale, feminine man from the flat below. He had just shaved…” and “ Mrs. Wilson had changed her costume some time before, and was now attired in an elaborate afternoon dress of cream-colored chiffonIn…” Why this author has to bored me with these boring descriptions before a party plot?

A romantic millionaire like Gatsby tried to use five years to win back a girl but he still failed and died. Some readers who are not in a relationship or still try to get someone’s attentions, is it possible that they might just give up because they think they are not any better than Gatsby? This book is not just inundated with negative energy but also violent sentences and actions. Such as, “ “ It’s a bitch,” said Tom decisively.” , “ “Beat me!” he heard cry. “ Throw me down and beat me, you dirty little coward!” ” and also the scene of Gatsby got murdered. They all not very nice to show either. I don't like violence, I believe a lot of readers did not except that was coming. So I don't think it is a great
