The Great Gatsby The Great Gatsby takes place in the grand state of New York, around the time of 1920. As commonly mistaken, the great Jay Gatsby himself does not narrate the story. This is done by Gatsby’s temporary neighbor, Nick Carraway. As you read further into the story, you learn that Gatsby is greatly in love with a beautiful young women by the name of Daisy Buchanan, who we learn is Nick Carraway’s friend from time ago.

When that wasn’t working out for him, he resorted to illegal activities to earn lots of money fast. He bought all he needed to live up to the American dream. He had the big, fancy house, the nice car, nice, and expensive clothing. All he needed was Daisy to complete it. He then waited and waited for her, and just as he thought he was about to get her and have a “perfect” life, he was shot and killed. His life ended incomplete. Although there are a lot of similarities and differences between the book and the movie, I’d have to say I liked the movie better, but I loved the storyline and would recommend anyone to watch it and feel the power of The Great
