This is on The Great Gatsby. We are supposed to write a paper on a character, and I thought I was cool in choosing the "challenge" of George Wilson. I don't know why, but I gathered all my info on him & it's too late to change. Anyway, here's my intro, and I would absolutely LOVE any feedback you guys have. Critique, changes--(is it a bad central idea?), suggestions--anything helps! Thanks everyone, I appreciate it!
..."Fitzgerald's character George Wilson, in The Great Gatsby, is above all an innocent man. This innocence makes him both unaware and submissive. His unawareness is that he does not realize his wife is committing adultery, and his submission is in being patient with Tom and letting advantage of his life. George Wilson's dilemma is evident in his strive to get by, his relationship with Myrtle, and ultimately his death...."
The last sentence is supposed to outline the 3 main points on the 3 body paragraphs and I don't think they're strong...any thoughts on that?
