PERSONAL OPINION
OH! I don't know what to say.
I usually like reading love stories. That's why I bought this book.
I think all the love stories are very very nice and great.
I believe in an ideal love Gatsby feel for Daisy and I didn't like the Daisy's falsehood. She don't say anybody
the truth about Miss Wilson's death and about his love for Gatsby. If she really had loved him she wouldn't let
he was accused of sometimes he didn't do she is a coward and a liar.
