So secret I put it on the Internet! Bobby can stop bugging me now. For those who are new, I'm Kitty Pryde, and I live at Xavier's Institute on Greymalkin Lane in Westchester, New York, etc. I love dancing, ice skating and horses, and I hate Bobby Drake. (Just kidding!) I am actually starting to hate The Great Gatsby, but only because books are never about the actual STORY anymore, and I LOVE the story, but I'm getting really sick of all the symbolism. That and I have the sinking suspicion that Daisy is NOT going to end up with Gatsby, which is REALLY annoying. Gatsby's so sweet! It's not his fault he wasn't rich at the right time. Mr. Fitzgerald, I have a serious bone to pick with you. Back to homework for me, so signing off. Much love!

Hey Bobby the Bug here. I'm proud! Maybe I started a trend.
And Gatsby's pretty good. Did you catch the thing about the billbord with the eyes of Dr. T.J. Echleburg on it? That's important, when it's talked about. They represent God's eyes. Cause God sees everything? Like when...Well I don't know how far you are so I won't spoil anything.

...
No. I did not get that.
It's a BILLBOARD for an OPTOMETRIST. An out-of-work OPTOMETRIST.
I don't about F. Scott, but MY G-d is not an out-of-work OPTOMETRIST!
Are you sure about that?

Posotive. Because the eyes saw everything that happened--Tom going out with Myrtle, etc. God's eyes see everything.
I hope for your sake we don't read Of Mice And Men. You'd hate how that one turns out.

Well, yeah. But that's not the important part. The mice die because one of the two main characters, is mentally retarded and he keeps the mice, but he's this huge muscular guy so when he tries to pet them he always crushes them. Lenny--that's his name.
It's a good book. But you wouldn't like the ending. It's sad. I hate sad endings.
But anyway, on to something anyone else cares about besides lame-o me. Lol.
