It's not a shock they're here to say the same damn thing. “Here you go.” Gabriel passed me a brown folder. “You want me to read this time. Cool.” I snatched the folder from his hand and tore it open. Gatsby was a darling and passed me my reading glasses. After reading a few lines, I told myself I'd had enough of this thing. “This is a load of crap.” I tossed the paper aside. “Caden!” “You expect me to be watched 24/7? I'm not a child!” I yelled.

“I’m Miss Voss, and I’ll be your AP Literature teacher this year. Let’s start with some introductions and then dive straight into our first text: The Great Gatsby. I want you all to think about the American Dream and how Fitzgerald portrays it through the lens of desire and illusion.” As she spoke, she moved to the whiteboard, marker in hand. The boys in the back row, where the athletes and the loud ones always claimed territory, were already whispering furiously. “Bro… holy shit,” muttered Jake, the star quarterback, leaning forward with his elbows on the desk. His eyes were glued to the way Miss Voss’s blouse tightened across her chest as she reached up to write the title. “Look at those t

The sixth form college had its last week before Christmas break. Theo argued about the ending of The Great Gatsby on the penultimate day with the specific furious investment of someone who had decided the question mattered and wasn’t going to let it go until it was resolved. I let him argue for twenty minutes before I said, “Fitzgerald didn’t give you resolution because resolution would have been a lie, the green light stays green because some things are supposed to stay out of reach.” Theo looked at me. “That’s depressing,” he said. “It’s honest,”

Via I was both frustrated and annoyed over what Chris had told me. His .... fiancé I ignore my thoughts and continue reading The Great Gatsby since I had an essay due soon. This was my third time reading it since I really wanted to impress Mr. Beaumont. Justin walks into my room and gets on my bed. He automatically hugs me and puts his head on my chest. "You took me to Alexander's house and I had to deal with him all day." He hugs me and I run my hands through his hair.

“You’re brutal. Correct, but brutal.” By 4:00 PM, the gifts had escalated to the absurd. A first edition of The Great Gatsby—because I had once mentioned I liked the tragedy of it. A set of Japanese calligraphy pens—because I liked to doodle on my scripts. A box of pastries from a bakery in Paris—flown in fresh that morning. “Okay, the croissants stay,” Katherine declared, shielding the pastry box with her body. “I have moral boundaries, and wasting French butter crosses them.”

Anything to get me out of this situation. "That's alright. In case you change your mind, give me a call, I will describe my house." She said, handing me over a card. Does she really not know who I was? I can't be attending parties like that, now can I? I collected the card from her and locked the door. I dropped the muffin basket on the table alongside her card. Since she had woken me up from sleep and I couldn't go back to bed, I decided to read my favorite novel of all time – The Great Gatsby.

But I didn't know why they were making such a big deal, if anything I'm helping them. The professor crossed his arms, just staring at me like I’d ruined his whole day. “Alright then,” he said, voice low but sharp. “Since you seem to know better, Miss…” “Lena Hart,” I replied quickly, my heart already beating fast. “Miss Hart,” he repeated, slowly, like my name tasted bitter in his mouth. “Tell me, what’s the deeper meaning behind the green light in The Great Gatsby?” I froze. Shit. I knew what most people said it meant—hope, dreams, blah blah—but the way he was staring at me told me that wouldn’t be enough. He wanted something deeper. Something more.

Delilah "Thank you for trusting us with your garments, Sir," I said to the elderly man as I passed him a bag containing his clothes. "You always deliver. See you next time," he waved and took off. I watched as he slid inside his car and drove away. I heaved out a sharp breath, glancing around the neighborhood of Roseville. The area where my father's laundry shop was located was always quiet. I closed the door and walked back inside, crashing on the one-seater sofa that had been at the shop for as long as I could remember.

"Leave that to me. I need two detailed analyses on the theme of class in The Great Gatsby. Have you read it?" I wanted to lie, to give myself an excuse to leave. But my mouth betrayed me. "Yes, I have." "Perfect. I need them tonight, so start as soon as you can." "Tonight?" The word came out strangled. "I already have plans." "Can you cancel them, please?" He leaned forward, his blue eyes boring into mine with an intensity that made my pulse race. "This is very important, and you are the only person I know who can help me. The only intelligent person I trust with this."

I murmured, staring down at my calculus worksheet. "You don't have to thank me for respecting you, Tamine," Evans said, his voice a low, steady anchor in the chaotic cafeteria. He reached into his backpack and pulled out a battered paperback copy of The Great Gatsby. "Now, are you going to help me understand chapter seven, or are we going to sit here and glare at differential equations all period?" A genuine, relieved smile finally broke across my face. "Page 154, Thorpe. And if you make one more joke about the valley of ashes, I'm charging you double for this session."
