The novel The Great Gatsby and its movie are very much a like when you talk about characters‚ setting‚ and general theme. However‚ there are few subtle differences between the two that sets them apart just enough to notice. Although they have those small contrasts‚ they don’t take away from the overall theme of the story. First of all‚ the book describes the Valley of Ashes as being somewhat barren. However‚ in the movie‚ the Valley of Ashes is in a way developed with roads and buildings. Yes
