    The Great Gatsby I: All throughout grade school and even high school‚ my teachers‚ parents‚ and even friends told me not to take the easy way out when it comes to books. Always read the book before the movie. I usually took the easy way out‚ watched the movie‚ and then skim the book. After doing this project I see what everyone was talking about.
