nichjake Ditch the boyfriend. If he's that homophobic I would want him anywhere near my future kids if I were her. True friends will be there for her forever, chances are her boyfriend will not because those kind of friends come and go, she should make it sooner rather...

Why The Great Gatsby been hailed as one of the best novels of the 20th Century

punichow @punichow (40) • Philippines 5 Dec 06

For me it's because of the novel's depth and style.

nichjake Really I'm not sure but I absolutely love it. I had to read it in high school as did all of my friends and out of all of us I'm the only one that likes it. I like the style and the emotion that you feel for each of the characters.
