The Summer of Love The 1960s was a decade of political and social upheaval. The counterculture‚ which was what the decade was called‚ became disappointed with all the restrictions and conventions of the straight society.

The counterculture gained significant influence in liberal cities such as Berkley and San Francisco. In 1967‚ Scott

Nick Carraway A cursory glance of the beginning of F.Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby leaves only a vague impression of the narrator Nick Carraway.
