Title: The Power of Long Fiction: An Analysis of “The Great Gatsby”

We are concluding our study of the novel. What do think of long fiction in general, of Gatsby in particular? How is it different from short fiction, poetry, and drama? What are some of its strengths? What are some of the elements of long fiction you enjoy? How do they work together to bring about its theme? Please discuss your understanding of Gatsby in terms of its theme, characters, and literary merits. You may compare it to the movie version shown.
You should not just list answers to these question in bullet points fashion. Instead, organize your thoughts into a short essay format of several paragraphs, with a thesis statement, topic sentences, and ample details to support your conclusions. Your personal observations and experiences are far more valuable than generic remarks. 
Your post need to be at least 500 words in 19 point font. Please post it in Assignment.
