Hello happy boy ,
- a neighbor / a neighbour
- present du récit : it is worth going
- Gatsby was away gone to war and meanwhile ...
- il me semble qu'il y a dans l'avant - dernier emploi de 'mistress' une confusion ; Daisy est la 'wife ' .
-Gatsby 's car : pas d'article devant un nom propre qui de plus est un génitif déterminatif .
- éviter l.expression 'in a nutshell ' ( déjà employée dans un résumé précédent )peu appropriée au niveau de ce reste .
Good luck .
