Hello,
Could anyone tell me if there are grammar errors within these statements? These are lines that I took out of my essay.
"For example, in F. Scott Fitzgerald's,
The Great Gatsby, Jay Gatsby falls in love with Daisy."
Is the comma after "Fitzgerald's" necessary?
"When Gatsby invites Daisy to Nick Carraway's for tea one day, the two only speak for a short while before Gatsby urges her to visit his mansion. In his home, Daisy merely cries over Gatsby's shirts..."
Is it proper to use just "Nick Carraway's" or do I have to clarify it by saying "Nick Carraway's home" ?
In the second sentence, do I need to clarify "his home" with "Gatsby's home" ?
"In Aristotle's,
On Happiness, he suggests that..."
Is the comma after "Aristotle's" necessary?
"Afterall, a great man such as Mr. Gatsby had a handful of wealth; but, he did not end happy."
I think this sentence is grammatically correct but would it be better (give more emphasis) to use a ", but" rather than the semicolon?
Thanks!
John
