Oops, even the best of us make mistakes, particularly writers. In the beginning of Chapter 2 of Gatsby Nick states: "But above the grey land and the spasm of bleak dust which drift endlessly over it, you perceive, after a moment, the eyes of Doctor T.J. Eckleburg. The eyes of Doctor T.J. Eckleburg are blue and gigantic - their retinas are one yard high. They look out of no face but, instead, from a pair of enormous yellow spectacles." What's wrong with this description (and no, not the awkward grammar)? Want a clue? Click here.
