The Great Gatsby Love

Improved Essays
Love is a crazy thing it can make you so incredibly happy or break your heart. The question though is it worth it? Is all the pain you could go through worth it?

    Love; an intense feeling of affection. It brings an array of emotions that no person can make another feel by waving around their wealth. The Great Gatsby, written by F.
