7.  it is inspired by story of Fitzgerald's life and it has got a deep idea  it symbolizes a rise and a fall of American dream, a glassines of people who want only money, high station and good repute

8.  it is pessimistic story  it is a bit stretched  it hasn't got long descriptions of feelings  it was at all bizzare for me, I don't like this story, it was about profuse life when people like only money and sex appeal which isn't connected with love and I think Fitzgerald could take an example from his own books
