In writing The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald aimed to "write something new - something extraordinary and beautiful and simple and intricately patterned".

The first person narrative form has certain qualities and constraints which an author must successfully balance in order to achieve a convincing…...

Instead, the objective of a narrative essay is to tell a story to the reader based on personal experiences and understandings. However, just because you don't have to spend…...

Even if a story is written so you doubt the narrator from the beginning, an unreliable narrator is still the one taking you through the story, so you hang on to their words. Perhaps a certain dialogue or an event will uncover details the narrator does not realize…...
