Happy Monday!
Both Odd and Even Classes:
Today was a normal Monday, next Monday will be an odd day!
If you missed class today you will need to do the following assignment to make up the punctual piece and class work:
1. In a well developed paragraph, write about a time when you were really excited about something, but when it actually happened it wasn't as great as you thought.
2. Answer the following questions for chapters 5 and 6 of The Great Gatsby:
Chapter 5:
1. Look at the passage on p. 92-93 beginning “After the house..” and ending “diminished by one…” How does this passage further develop the symbol of the green light as the American Dream?
2. Does the reunion between Gatsby and Daisy live up to either of their expectations? Why or why not? Give specific examples from the text to support your ideas.
Chapter 6:
1. Read the interaction between Gatsby and Tom and the Sloane's on p. 101-103. How does this interaction relate to Gatsby's history as related by Nick just prior to this passage? What does this passage infer about Gatsby's dream of wealth and status?
2. Gatsby can see that Daisy did not have a good time at his party. Look at his conversation with Nick at the end of chapter 6 on p. 109-110. In this conversation Nick and Gatsby disagree on a point about whether or not it is possible to repeat the past. Comment on how this concept relates to Gatsby's dream.
Also for Tuesday or Wednesday (whichever day you have class) read The Great Gatsby chapter 7, and bring all of your multigenre research with you to class.
