Here is a sign up for the Gatsby party!
Per your request, here is somewhere people can sign up for what they are going to bring to the Gatsby party on Friday, 4/3!
Here are the characterization notes you followed for the activity on Friday. Happy drafting!
Please ensure that you have contemplated the end of the novel for each character: Nick, Daisy, Tom, and, Gatsby. When you arrive at my door on Monday, 3/30, be prepared to discuss what each character learns, or fails to learn, and what that lesson that subsequently teaches in relation to Fitzgerald's comment on American society.
When you arrive at my door tomorrow, 3/26, please be prepared to write a textually supported paragraph proving one of the assertions below.
Take each of the given statements and find textual support in chapters V and VI. Provide the TEXT and at least TWO analytical sentences that explain how the text proves the given. Given: Daisy is a gorgeous, but hollow and unachievable, dream for Gatsby. (This allegorically represents makes her the American Dream.) Given: Gatsby believes he can earn the love of Daisy. (This makes him allegorically the common man.) Given: Tom will reject Gatsby regardless how much money Gatsby acquires. (This is allegorically about old money’s vehement rejection of new money.) Please deal with your assigned portion of text in relation to Daisy's past. Each post should contain the following:
Your name: Number: One word that characterizes Daisy in your portion: Analysis (bullet points) that deal with how your specific text yields that characterization: An analytical comment about the underlined portion (diction, symbolism, allegorical commentary,etc.): 1. “The officer looked at Daisy while she was speaking, in a way that every young girl wants to be looked at some time, and because it seemed romantic to me I have remember the incident ever since.” 2. “Wild rumors were circulating about her-how her mother had found her packing her bag one winter night to go to New York and say good-by to a soldier who was going overseas. She was effectually prevented, but she wasn’t on speaking terms with her family for several weeks.” 3. “In June she married Tom Buchanan of Chicago, with more pomp and circumstance that Louisville even knew before. He came down with a hundred people in four private cars, and hired a whole floor of the Seelbach Hotel, and the day before the wedding he gave her a string of pearls valued at three hundred and fifty thousand dollars.” 4. “I was scared, I can tell you; I’d never seen a girl like that before.” 5. “’Here, deares’.’ She groped around in the waste-basket she had with her on the bed and pulled out the string of pearls. ‘Take ‘em down-stairs and give ‘em back to whoever they belong to. Tell ‘em all Daisy’s change’ her mine. Say: ‘Daisy’s change’ her mine!’” 6. “She began to cry-she cried and cried. I rushed out and found her mother’s main, and we locked the door and got her into a cold bath. She wouldn’t let go of the letter. She took it into the tub with her and squeezed it up into a wet ball, and only let me leave it in the soap-dish when she saw that it was coming to pieces like snow.” 7. “We gave her spirits of ammonia and put ice on her forehead and hooked her back into her dress, and half an hour later, when we walked out of the room, the pearls were around her neck and the incident was over.” Please deal with your assigned portion of text in relation to Daisy's past.
