Famous Author's Pets

Quote:Yes I tried to watch it too. I thought it might be good. I like the 1920s stuff. But oh gosh I got bored. I couldn't concentrate on it and didn't care what was happening!

Quote:I tried to watch the movie Great Gatsby and couldn't focus on it for long. I know what you mean about the Great being sarcastic!!

When I studied it the movie hadn't been made yet and I had to read it, yes every single page. You only think the movie is boring. Compared to the book, the movie is an action thriller. Worse my prof loved the book. It was one of his favourites. It put me at odds with him because I couldn't pretend to like it.

It probably would be a good cure for insomnia. I thought the people in the book were boring. Their lives were boring and even when they went out to have fun they had boring fun. Even the car accident was boring. There was no drama of trying to find out who did it. When we do find out we don't really care. I didn't care that Gatsby got killed and neither did anyone else in the story.

That is a book that needed some pets to liven it up. Think of how much better it would have been if Gatsby had been running an animal shelter and Daisy had come to adopt a dog and recognized him as an old friend. They could have taken long walks with their dogs and enjoyed the beautiful place where they lived. Isn't it a better book already.
