From the depiction of literacy, significances, and impacts of literacy which are shown in the three novel; TSOP, TBD and GG, what actually Fitzgerald wants to show to his readers related to the literacy can be seen. Related to the interaction, Fitzgerald want to show that reading and writing skills can affect people who have it and also the people around who are around the one who applied it, that it can make people get close to each other yet it also can create gap among people. And related to the class system, Fitzgerald wants to show that literacy is not inherited, but it is gained. It can change someone’s status in the society if they are willing to use it properly just like Amory who can makes his way to become superior and popular even though he is a middle-class man.
