Response to Article

The author makes his point by using both his opinions and facts comparable to modern day life. By comparing his opinions to things like Oprah magazine and quotes from psychologists, Cohen makes his points more relevant to the reader and easier to see his point. The amazing comparisons that Cohen uses makes the article compelling. Cohen's real life examples of Gatsby shows how he is the true American that many can relate to. I very much so agree with the arguement that Cohen makes. "But mainly we are Gatsby, flawed in a flawed world, but unable to resist the pull of the green light." is the one sentence in the article that made me completely agree with Cohen's ideas about Gatsby's American relevancy.
