Final Blog Post

This is the last blog post for the year so I will wrap this up by discussing which book is my favorite and which one is my least favorite, as well as why. To be honest I enjoyed all the books we read except for The Merchant of Venice. The reason why is not because I didn’t like the story, but because of how Shylock the Jew could never have won during that time. My groups response project to The Merchant of Venice shows this with an alternate ending depicting what would've happened if Shylock choose mercy instead of justice. Other than that one reason I thoroughly enjoyed the book.

I know I said in my last post I was done with The Great Gatsby but that was before I knew what my next prompt was. The Great Gatsby is indeed my favorite book that I read this year. The main reason for me is the character Gatsby himself because of how mysterious he was and how I see bits of him in people I love and care about. Another big contributor was all the color symbolism throughout this book; I loved how Fitzgerald, the author of the The Great Gatsby, used color symbolism as such a powerful tool in his arsenal.
