Silent Reading, 20 min
The Great Gatsby
- Chapter Experts 7-9 presentations
- Review for test on Tuesday!
- Topics to review:
- Themes: wealth & status; materialism; truth/lies; the decline of the American Dream.
- Consider Nick as a narrator. Is he reliable? Is he biased?
- Symbols and Motifs: East vs. West Egg; Midwest/West vs. East; green light; the eyes of T.J. Eckleberg; ash heaps; weather; etc.
- Consider the time period in which this book is set (1920s)--look back at the information from your background wikis. What impact does this have on the novel? What is Fitzgerald's purpose in presenting this society in the way he does?
