Matched by Ally Condie

I finally found time to finish The Great Gatsby and now I am starting Matched by Ally Condie. I have not read a single page yet besides the inside front paragraph but I do have some background  information on it from my friends and teachers also. All I know is that it is about this society that decides who you love and what your job is and when you will die. My predictions about this book is that Cassia the main character will go against the society and will do something that thwey do not like. This book looks really good so lets hope I like it and if I do there are two other books I can read continuing this series

The Great Gatsby: Update

This post will be short because I have not really had the time to read and update but to continue on with my last post. I have been reading The Great Gatsby still and it is really good. I have gotten to answer some of my question though. I found out that a girl named Myrtle is Tom's mistress, so he is having an affair. But I also learned that he doesn't seem to care much if people know that he is having an affair because in the book it was telling me that he takes them both out in public.

Romeo and Juliet

To get off the topic about The Great Gatsby, in class we are reading Romeo and Juliet together. A little background information on Romeo and Juliet for those of you who do not know what it is about, it was written in 1595 by William Shakespeare. This play is about how Romeo and Juliet's families hate each other but they love one another and can not be together. With the class we are reading it but also when we finish some scenes in the book we watch parts of the modern movie and the old movie and compare. The last place we left off was when Romeo and Juliet first meet at the mascaraed, we were deciding if it really was love at first sight. In the play it is hard to tell if they love eachother or not but in the movies we can see there actions. Do you think it's really love at first sight?

The Great Gatsby: Predictions and Questions

I started my new book The Great Gatsby, I am only a few chapeters in but I already have so many questions and thoughts of what could happen. 

First I want to predict that Tom, Daisey's husband, is having an affair because when they were at dinner someone keep calling asking for Tom. Second, they keep mentioning Gatsby and all they are saying is that he is Nick, the main characters' neighbor, but he obviously must be pretty important if he keeps getting mentioned and his name is part of the title. So who is Gatsby?
