Great Gatsby

One thing that I found interesting was that Gatsby only threw parties because he wanted Daisy to notice about them and go to one. The part I enjoyed reading was how it said that Gatsby saw a green light on the deck then later on finding out that it represents Gatsby's hopes and dreams for the future with Daisy. A good "technique" was that He used the weather to set a mood for example when it was raining it was to foreshadow Gatsby and Daisy
