                                                                  The Great Gatsby

The Great Gatsby by f. Scott Fitzgerald is a sensational classic written in the 20's. Fitzgerald has some unique style choices, you can easily notices how much detail he puts into nick caraway’s (the main protagonist) thoughts. There was a movie recently made of it in which it stays very dedicated to the book only scrapping minor details from the comparison I drew between the two.

 You can see multiple examples throughout the book. "yet high over the city our line of yellow windows must have contributed their share of human secrecy to the casual watcher within the darkening streets, and I was him too, looking up and wondering, I was within and without." this quote is from the second chapter where nick is looking out an apartment window over the city while partying with his old college mate, Tom. 

He also is very good with using imagery, he has quite a few instances of his use of vivid imagery throughout the book as well."there were twinkle-bells of sunshine in the room." or "through the twilight universe Daisy began to move again with the season; suddenly she was again keeping beads and dying orchids on the floor beside her bed."
