Quickly review F. Scott Fitzgerald's Biography video notes. Take open notes Quia Quiz over 1920s Intro and F. Scott Fitzgerald Remember: F. Scott Fitzgerald's short stories and novels are based on personal experiences and very often deal with social status. Have you ever received a bad haircut? Did you ever cut your own hair when you were little? How did you feel? Today we'll look at a short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald that is almost 100 years old but could just as easily have been written about teenagers today. Teens in ANY era struggle with SOCIAL STATUS & trying to FIT IN. Some go to great lengths to fit in. In "Bernice Bobs Her Hair," we see... 1. how young women were regarded in the 1920s, 2. how tempting popularity can be, and 3.how DANGEROUS it is to compromise your values just to fit in. Introduction to "Bernice Bobs Her Hair." We can't underestimate the historical significance and controversy about Bobbed Hair View Henry Fonda's Introduction to the movie (to 2:28), pause to discuss 3 key characters: Bernice, Marjorie and Warren, then view the short story. Questions to think and talk about: 1. Through the character of Marjorie, does Fitzgerald paint a flattering picture of the flapper? Is she a misguided, a superficial flirt or a feminist? 2. Who would you prefer to have as a friend--Marjorie, Bernice, or Warren? What are the most striking character traits of each person? 3. Does Bernice change for the better or for the worse over the course of the story? Was the “sophisticated” environment that Bernice enters corrupting or character building? 4. Does this story have a “happy ending?” Did Marjorie deserve her fate? =================================================== Friday 11/16 Friday Focus on the Future Jared Morken (SD Army National Guard) will visit all classes =================================================== Wednesday 11/14 and Thursday 11/15 View: F.
