0 Comments
Hey look I didn't call it 11! Enjoy drafting and idea collection for your Body Biography Project!
If you were absent on Thursday, for various and sundry trips, please ensure that you write to the following prompt:
Choose ONE of the biggies, Nick, Daisy, Tom, or Gatsby, and deal with their characterization in CHAPTER SEVEN ONLY. Write a well articulated, textually supported paragraph that addresses the characterization of your chosen character, what the means in terms of the allegory, and what lesson Fitzgerald is attempting to teach through this character. A minimum of TWO applicable and appropriately analyzed pieces of text is required. I will accept paragraphs until Monday, 3/31 but not after. Please have this completed on Monday for our final overall discussion on The Great Gatsby.
We will be dealing primarily with chapter 7 and the main characters' issues, manifestations, and epiphanies during the scene in the hotel (although other parts of the chapter are totally applicable). Please be prepared to write and discussion how the characterization and allegorical implications help Fitzgerald make his point about the American social paradigm.
Be prepared to discussion and/or write about the following when you arrive in class on Wednesday, 3/26.
1. Juxtapose the Gatsby parties (ch 3 and ch 6) Differences in Gatsby? Differences in Nick? Daisy's reactions? 2. characterization of Gatsby (and his oh so interesting past) 3. Gatsby and Nick's conversation about "recaptur[ing] the past." Characterization of Nick/Gatsby? Allegorical implications. Please be prepared to write about and discuss the following specific items from chapters 3 and 4.
a. characterization of Gatsby b. Daisy's cry in the bathtub (think really heavy handed SYMBOLISM here) c. SYMBOLISM of East Egg and West Egg (include the green light here please) Please be reminded that your papers are due tomorrow regardless of any changes made because of the pep rally. If you are participating in the pep rally and are present on campus you must turn in your paper. Happy drafting, writing, and being brilliant!
Streetcar: prepping for the paper!
Once you have chosen the question you are going to write about you should draft the following:
If you are interested in the writing to the allusion prompt for Streetcar Named Desire I have attached a link to a reader friendly summary of Ovid's descrition of the Persephone myth and the actual text (Book V, lines 332-571) from his work, Metamorphoses.
