An expository esssay on the first 3 chapters of 'the Great Gatsby'

The Great Gatsby F. Scott Fitzgerald's use of language and symbolism forces readers to interpret different events in different ways, as well as think about what they have read. He builds his characters in a way which causes most readers to form similar opinions of them, creates complex relationships between the characters as well as uses descriptive language which forces us to construe events in our own way instead of simply listening to recounted proceedings. …

…striving for, as although it represents the idea of working and achieving anything, regardless of what you started with, it does not always bring happiness as in Gatsby's case. It is important to construe events in this novel in our own way, as Fitzgerald describes how things appear rather that the actual event itself. The Great Gatsby contains a number of aspects which combine to create a complex tale of relationships and the American Dream.
