Everything is an Argument

What is F. Scott Fitzgerald really trying to say? Reading the story, "The Great Gatsby", you wouldn't think the author would be presenting an argument in the traditional sense.  With close attention to the story, a few things stand out that show the authors opinion or argument. First, how the book is written and how he sets up the scene in the beginning and then one by one he releases several conclusions. I say several because every character is involved in a different situation and the conclusion of each situation is revealed at a different time. This brings me to believe that the author is indirectly stating his argument. The argument being that people can be misunderstood and can be different then they portray themselves to be.
