The Great Gatsby takes place in New York City during the 1920s. During this time period, there was a great amount of illegal alcohol being sold and consumed, which is one factor the story lays on. The speaker of the novel is Nick. Nick tells the audience, the reader, about his life in New York City and how he wanted a fresh start on life. He explains extravagant parties and affairs between married couples. The Great Gatsby is a very interesting and mysterious novel. I cannot wait to finish the book and see what every detail symbolizes.
Because of the illegal alcohol consumption, and the large sum of money the speaker mentions, the reader can foreshadow a very mysterious and interesting story coming up. Not only does this book keep the suspense high, but it also keeps me reading to answer unknown questions. Who really is Gatsby and where did he get his money from. What is Nick going to do about his love life. All these questions can be answered by simply reading the book to understand all the unknown parts of the intense novel.
