Reading Report 4: The Great Gatsby by Mauricio López

 After the crash, the body of Myrtle was found by Tom while passing by with Nick. He told Wilson who was responsible for Myrtle's death (believing it was Gastby). Back at the Buchanans’ house in East Egg, Nick finds Gatsby hiding in the garden and discover that it was Daisy who was driving. The next morning, Nick tells Gatsby to run away but he reveals everything about his real past and why he wants to marry Daisy. But while waiting in his mansion, he was killed by Wilson and then Wilson killed himself. The story ends with Gatsby's funeral which almost no one attends, not even Daisy, because she left and continued with her life. Disgusted with the life, Nick goes back to the Midwest. 

The story was excellent, at every single point of the story you are shocked by everything that happens and even you can learn about life and the importance of the truth. It was definitely not the normal romantic story that you see, with an amazing and totally unexpected ending you can understand the feelings of the characters which I totally enjoyed all time. 

In my opinion, the only negative comment was about the saturation of some information and facts which were interesting but didn´t  support a lot of the story. You were able to understand the story but you were obligated to remember a lot of facts which can be hard at the beginning, however, as the story develops, it is easier. 

As a conclusion, this story definitely goes as a classic which shows us the pessimistic side of the wealthy people and how wealth can not be everything in our lives, mostly a simple thing such as love can be the thing that everyone pursues but almost nobody can reach. I will strongly recommend this book to all the readers who want to read a classic and who are fans of drama and tragedy from the beginning to the end. Fitzgerald writes excellent books which I will be willing to read if they are of this kind of gender. Doing readings such as this, allows the students to achieve skills that sometimes are not normally practiced and also to acquire healthy hobbies such as reading, being an activity that should be done outside the classroom and makes you progress in the target language.
