[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.]
