Jaegyum: Hey Jaeyi, guess what story we read in class today? It was called "The Great Gatsby"!

Jaeyi: Oh yeah? I think I saw Mom reading that book before. Was it good?

Jaegyum: It was kind of sad but also really interesting. Remember that website Mom showed us, the one about explaining stories? Let me see... (pretends to type on a phone) Ah, here it is! (Points an imaginary phone) It says Gatsby had these huge parties all the time.

Jaeyi: Wow, like a real prince? Why did he do that?

Jaegyum: Well, according to this (points again), it was because he wanted to see this girl, Daisy. They used to know each other a long time ago.

Jaeyi: Oh, like in a fairy tale where the prince tries to find his lost princess?

Jaegyum: Sort of, but Daisy was already married to someone else, this rich guy named Tom. And Gatsby was also rich, but he got his money in a mysterious way. The website says some people thought it wasn't all good.

Jaeyi: Hmm, so he threw all those parties just for her to maybe come? That's a lot of effort!

Jaegyum: I know! And when they finally met again, it was kind of awkward at first. But then they started spending time together.

Jaeyi: Did they get to be together in the end? Like happily ever after?

Jaegyum: Not really. The website says there was a big accident, and someone got hurt. And then… and then Gatsby got into trouble even though it wasn't really his fault.

Jaeyi: That's so sad! So all the parties and the trying to get Daisy back didn't work out?

Jaegyum: Nope. The story says that a lot of the rich people didn't really care about Gatsby, even though they went to his parties. Only a few people came to his funeral.

Jaeyi: That's really sad, Jaegyum. It sounds like he was lonely even with all those people around.

Jaegyum: Yeah, that's what I thought too. The story made me think about how important it is to have real friends.
