=**Strengths and Weaknesses**=

My strengths is this project was the body of the project, and the introduction and the conclusion. My weaknesses were the citations and the grammatical errors. I mostly need to work on my citations to get a significantly better grade on the next project. I see that my writing skills had really improved, and I hope to get a better grade on the next research paper by getting better at the citations.

=Research Project= I am doing my project on F. Scott Fitzgerald. I am feeling really good about this project.The hardest part of this research project is siting. It is very different and hard to get used too. The easiest part is researching, I thought that the sources that I used were very good and useful.

=**An Author to Remember**= My author that I am researching is F. Scott Fitzgerald. He wrote __The Great Gatsby,__ and many different novels and short stories. I think the most interesting part of F. Scott Fitzgerald is when he left his school without a degree, and joined the army and wrote even when he was in the army. It shows how dedicated of a writer he really was. I think that using the online data bases is the most interesting part of this research project. I have never used them before, and they are very helpful, and I plan to use them as much as possibly in future research projects.



Blog 4 February 7 =**Describing Detail**=

I am reading __The Great Gatsby__ by f. Scott Fitzgerald. I'm on page 71. The authors ability to describe situations makes it easy to [|visualize]. In many parts of the story, the author describes in detail about the story in __The Great Gatsby__. In the beginning of chapter 4, he does a really good job describing the setting. "On a Sunday morning, while church bells rang in the villages along shore..."



Blog 3 =**"I Hope She Will Be a Fool"**= All right...I'm glad its a girl. I hope she will be a fool. Thats the best thing a girl can be is this world is a [|fool]."-Daisy. This quote shows what kind of character Daisy is in the book. It is my favorite quote in the book so far. The reason is because being called a fool is more of an insult. Daisy hopes that her daughter is a fool, which in the beginning it didn't make very much sense to me. Then i figured that Daisy would like to teach her daughter from right and wrong, which can be one of the pleasures of being a mother during that time period.

 * The Tolerance of Nick Carraway**

The main character in __The Great Gatsby__ is Nick Carraway, he is also narrating the story. He is really tolerant towards other peoples actions in the story. Nick is highly moral in the story. I think that Nick should stand up for himself because he just takes a lot of bad stuff from other people. People like Tom Buchanan are harder to Nick and he should stand up for himself. This shows how he is very tolerant towards others like Tom Buchanan.

I am reading the book The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

I think that this book is going to be about a person that struggles in the city. I think he will be poor and have no where to live. Then the person will become successful after the struggles that he faced.‍ The cover of the book interests me because its a very mysterious illustration. I also think it will be about life through a certain persons life because of the emphasis of the eyes on the cover. ‍
