NitaNA 1 / 5 May 26, 2010 #2CarmellaIs it The Great Gastby the novel?Maybe you can find in the search engine..with the keywords Synopsis of Great Gastby or Summary of Great Gastby..Good LUCK!*cheers!
EF_Kevin 8 / 13,321 129 May 27, 2010 #3Yes, that is good advice. And it helps to use these keywords, too:Great Gatsby analysisGreat Gatsby study guideFind it on Sparknotes.com It is not cheating if you need to look at sparknotes to help you understand. You should not feel bad about not under standing. It is important to read a summary, then write some notes, then read another summary or analysis. When you understand the story, take a long walk with the book and really enjoy it. You MUST read everything more than once, and if you have the patience to do that you'll suddenly see that it is easy! That is what happened for me. The same rule applies to sweeping the kitchen floor: do it once, and you have not really done it, but do it twice and you have done a thorough job.
