Natalie Wynn (Contrapoints) mentioned The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald 1 times

Remember in high school, when you had to read "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott SparkNotes? The character Jay Gatsby doesn't even like opulent mansion parties, but he throws them anyway just to show his crush, Daisy, that he's made it, that he's a success, that he's worth something. And as we all remember, in the end, they get married and defeat the monster Grendel to save the hall of Hrothgar. At least, that's what I wrote in my 10th grade English essay about how the theme of "The Great Gatsby" is money always leads to happiness. I got a D minus!
