[You can't really clear your throat over text, but somehow, Yamato manages to give off that impression. He's not big on social media (can you be a grandpa at age 21?), but the bingo overlords required it, so... here goes nothing.]
The Great Gatsby is a very important and famous book which tells its story through many pages, all of which I enjoyed reading very much. The Great Gatsby is truly a book by F. Scott Fitzgerald about how you shouldn't just buy a castle near your ex-girlfriend in the 1920s and then wait for her to fall back in love with you, because eventually you might get murdered by a poor person.
The main guy in the book is Nick Carraway. He went to college and then moved to a dirty shack on Long Island, where he tries to make money using finance and mainly just follows his neighbors around staring like a weirdo. Nick Carraway has a cousin named Daisy. She's married to Tom Buchanan, who has a small mustache, probably. Daisy hates shirts, Tom Buchanan, and having a personality, but everyone seems to think she is a lot of fun to be around anyway.
Next door to Nick Carraway is a big castle where a mysterious man named Gatsby lives. Gatsby is the most important man in town (and in the book—hence the title!!!), except that none of his friends or acquaintances has ever met or seen him, even though he is on the cover of the newspaper every day. Any time someone says "Gatsby," everyone else is like, "Gatsby? Gatsby? What Gatsby? Where Gatsby? Show me the Gatsby!" but no one knows who he is. Then at some point everyone is just like, "Oh, hey Gatsby, could you move, you're blocking the polo game or whatever." Gatsby and Daisy used to date, and now Gatsby throws a lot of parties hoping that Daisy will come over. After some events, life would never be the same.
Gatsby is obsessed with this green light across the water from his house. The green light represents Daisy, because Gatsby is "green" with envy that Tom Buchanan gets to hang out with her all the time, and also because green is the color of "go" and Gatsby would like to "go" over there.
Eventually Daisy comes over and says she would like to break up with Tom Buchanan and marry Gatsby instead, because of shirts. Everyone has a fight and eventually Gatsby dies, which represents death. The most important metaphor in The Great Gatsby is the shooting stars, which happen in the sky at least twice in every scene. The shooting stars represent the fact that Gatsby is the "star" of the book and somebody "shoots" him at the end. Aren't we all a little bit like Gatsby in this modern world?
The Merriam-Webster English Dictionary defines "conclusion" as "the last part of something." In conclusion, this is the last part of my report on The Great Gatsby, which is a very expensive book about confetti. It is truly the best book I have ever read all the way through.
[Hopefully you enjoyed this 100% original book report by a guy who didn't even bother to introduce himself or mention that this was for bingo.]

[HE'S HONESTLY SURPRISED...]
where did it go off
no subject
Also I'm pretty sure Gatsby dies in a car accident? Or he gets drowned in a pool. Now I can't remember...
no subject
no subject
But anyway, it's not that bad! Loads better than The Scarlet Letter and that kind of stuff.
no subject
I like nonfiction better so I didn't really like my literature classes much
no subject
I mean, I always liked biology and that stuff more than literature but that doesn't mean I can just stop paying attention in class!
no subject
I liked fahrenheit 451
and hamlet
[This sounds impressive until you realize they're just the one where things get set on fire and the one where everyone goes crazy and dies.]
I was out of class a lot though so I probably missed a lot of stuff about them
no subject
I haven't read Hamlet yet but I think that's going to be this year.
[ I mean, if you have a type, you have a type. ]
Oh? Why, were you sick?
no subject
[JUST CASUALLY ADMITS THIS someone stop him]
no subject
Were you like..... a delinquent?
[ oh my god ]
no subject
my teachers would probably have said yes though
[To this day Yamato maintains that he'd been in the right, as he'd only ever gotten into fights in order to protect or defend other people. But he's also aware now that he probably could've toned it down a little bit in the process.]
no subject
[ That's scary, dude!!! ]
no subject
[Just. Getting that out of the way. But he can't even say he doesn't do it anymore because he's gotten into at least three fights in the past six months... HE'S TRYING OKAY IT'S NOT HIS FAULT]
no subject
You just happened to get into a lot of fights...?
no subject
[Well at least he's honest...]
but I wasn't stealing people's lunch money or anything
it was mostly taking care of people being jerks
like beating up younger kids or spreading lies about people
no subject
no subject
[Not that he considers himself to be a superhero by any means, but he does have a point...]
anyway my grades were good enough to get into college and I never got arrested or anything so it's fine
no subject
But I guess... if you managed to get good grades, that's something. But you should try to be more responsible now!
no subject
how do you know they're not??
no subject
[ Obviously!!! Kanan doesn't know Spider-Man, does she. ]
