The Great Gatsby‚ by F. Scott Fitzgerald Chapter 7 It was when curiosity about Gatsby was at its highest that the lights in his house failed to go on one Saturday night — and‚ as obscurely as it had begun‚ his career as Trimalchio was over. Only gradually did I become aware that the automobiles which turned expectantly into his drive stayed for just a minute and then drove sulkily away.

In my opinion‚ the last three chapters of the book were the climax of the entire novel and were incredibly intriguing and left me wanting more after each page. In this installment I will be discussing chapters 7-9‚ more importantly Gatsby and Daisy. I will also be discussing the impact of Fitzgerald’s writing style on this portion of the book. These chapters mainly relate to Gatsby in one way or another‚ and put him in the spotlight. One morning‚ before going to town‚ Nick comes to the Buchanan
