Bobbie+CH.3

A quote from the very beginning of this chapter reminds me of a party from Darren Shan’s book: "Every Friday five crates of oranges and lemons arrived from a fruiterer in New York" (Fitzgerald, 41). In the party of Shan’s book, the host prepares everything before each party. He wants to ensure everyone has enough entertainment. However, the foods and drinks he prepares are frog soup and humans’ blood. That is not because the host is an abnormal person, but he is a vampire’s prince. Of course, his guests are all vampires. I think the sensitive of Gatsby is similar to the vampire’s prince because they both can notice what the others’ needs.

Gatsby’s party reminds me a scandal when I was studying in Hong Kong. “This is an unusual party for me. I haven’t even seen the host…” (Fitzgerald, 49). There is not much big party in Hong Kong unlike western country. The host usually invites someone who he knows only and not welcomes who he doesn’t meet before. That time, I was invited by my friend to join his friend’s birthday party. I did not used to participate party so I sat alone at a corner. Suddenly, a boy came to ask me if I was enjoying, I told his I didn’t even know whose birthday party was that. Then he told me that was his party. Although I was embarrassed, I liked that party.
