Reading Report on Th

This semester, I finished reading The Great Gatsby written by F. Scott Fitzgerald, a classic novel depicting the American Dream in the 1920s. The story centers on Jay Gatsby, who amasses wealth desperately to win back his lost lover Daisy. Yet his whole pursuit ends in tragedy, with his lonely death ignored by nearly everyone he once knew. Through Gatsby’s sad fate, the author exposes the emptiness behind material prosperity and the disillusionment of the American Dream. What impresses me most is Gatsby’s persistent but blind devotion. It makes me realize that chasing unrealistic fantasies and valuing superficial luxury over true feelings will only lead to loss. This book also broadens my understanding of Western social history and improves my English reading skills. It is truly a thought-provoking masterpiece worth reading repeatedly.
