As Christ shouldered the cross on the march to His crucifixion then lay down his life to bear the sins of mankind, so Gatsby laid down his life as a sacrifice for Daisy's sins. 5.

Chapter 9 BRIEF Critical Analysis (slightly PG) (3:09) Read me: The point this analysis made is that classic Literature is TIMELESS. It remains relevant to every generation that reads it. If you've been watching the news this week, you've heard a lot of talk about another stimulus package to save America's economy. Nothing has come out of Washington to help American citizens and businesses since March. Jerome Powell, current head of the Federal Reserve, has been on the news daily sounding the alarm that our economy is at a tipping point. Unemployment claims reported this week by the govt. jumped to more than 885,000. This comes as many federal relief programs are set to expire at the end of December. The Great Gatsby is a story about the American Dream and social class and the economy. Over the past decade, the wealth of the top 1% of American households has surpassed the combined wealth of the bottom 80%. Covid-19 has vividly laid bare the American dream's endangered state. The pandemic is having a disproportionate impact on minorities and on those working paycheck to paycheck. The reality behind the vast class divisions the pandemic has created is that the American Dream--picking yourself up by your bootstraps and working your way to personal success--now seems a desperate fantasy for many.. 10.

Whatever you can possibly do to attract her attention is worth it if she ends up won over, because then she will be insatiable (" I must have you" ).

The '74 version remains very true to the novel. It's romantic and quiet and subtle. Full passages and conversations are used word for word in the movie. When Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby adaptation hit theaters in 2013, I wondered if whether—through all the confetti, and Jay-Z, and 3D—if this was actually going to be a film that approached the book the way I have with my students for so many years: with a lot of talk about Fitzgerald's use of symbolism. You know, how the green light symbolizes the American Dream and the eyes of Dr. T.J. Eckleburg are the eyes of God. Well, as it turns out, there is STILL a lot of all that in the 2013 movie! One of the biggest differences is in the narrator Nick. In the new movie, Nick narrates and writes the story about that Summer of 1922 from a sanitarium or mental hospital. The movie shows the chart with Nick's symptoms-- that he's alcoholic and prone to fits of rage and an insomniac. So it raises questions about his mental stability. We DON'T get that at ALL from the novel or the earlier movie. But remember that Zelda was institutionalized and Fitzgerald himself wrote an article called The Crack Up. So the producer of this movie, played up that other side of Fitzgerald in the character of Nick. Another big difference is the music. Even though it isn't jazz in the 2013 movie, you get the sense of how the music is infused in a lot of the scenes. You get a sense of what those Roaring Twenties parties are like.

Review Gatsby's Elaborate Plan Also look at the final paragraph of Chapter 4 where Nick kisses Jordan (not out of love, but because he was jealous that he didn't have someone to "haunt" him like Tom and Gatsby). Students ALWAYS argue that Nick does this because he realizes that he likes Jordan. But go back to the text! Phrases like "the girl beside me" and "wan, scornful mouth" give away his general disregard for who Jordan is---he just wants to have someone, at least temporarily.

Scott Fitzgerald's 1925 novel The Great Gatsby is a tragic love story, a mystery, and a social commentary on American life. The Great Gatsby may be the most popular classic in modern American fiction. Since its publication in 1925, Fitzgerald's masterpiece has become a touchstone for generations of readers and writers, many of whom reread it every few years as a ritual of imaginative renewal. The story of Jay Gatsby's desperate quest to win back his first love reverberates with themes characteristically American and universally human, among them the importance of honesty, the temptations of wealth, and the struggle to escape the past. Though The Great Gatsby is less than two hundred pages, there is no bigger read in American literature. What I do for YOU: 1. Provide audio version 2.

Was Gatsby Great?: A Gatsby Crash Course Part II (8:49) Gatsby Test Review for weekend and Monday night: Test will be mostly closed book, except for the essay section since you will need to cite passages. In the past, after about 30 minutes, I have allowed 10 minutes with the book. Format of the objective portion will include multiple choice questions of broader themes than the very specific daily quiz questions (samples below in review activities) and several matching sections (characters, quotes, themes). I'm still pondering the essay portion. We need to practice writing in a TIMED setting for the AP class & exams next year. We may end up doing that on Thursday. **ALL of these sites for review below worked for students last year. ALL of these sites work on my computers at school and at home. I don't know what you do/don't have access to with your filter this year. If you can't open them on your laptop, try a home computer or a library computer. Advice: Set aside an hour or two to work through all of these activities! 1. To get started with review, watch this SUMMARY 2. View Gatsby's Life Story 4. Spark Notes Quiz 5. Quote Flashcards from The Great Gatsby--go through all of the cards! 6. Characters and Symbols in The Great Gatsby--play multiple times to access all terms 7. Who Wants to be a Millionaire Review-- make sure you have run updates on your laptop so Adobe flash works 8. Cliff's Notes Quiz 9. Top 10 Quotes from The Great Gatsby (Click the Skip to Content Button if necessary) *Two other good ways to review are to skim through the highlighted portions of the book to remind yourself where those important passages are and to go back to view your previous Quia quizzes at Student Zone. 11. Fun Trivia Quiz 12. Another Fun Trivia Quiz 13. **Review Winter Dreams Here--Like The Great Gatsby, "Winter Dreams" sketches a disillusioned view of the American search for wealth and its horrible effect on relationships. "Winter Dreams," The Great Gatsby, and many of Fitzgerald's other works aim to show us that material wealth, at the end of the day, isn't all its cracked up to be. 14. Go back over the F. Scott Fitzgerald video notes. Think about how the Great Gatsby is autobiographical. Take a look at Winter Dreams worksheet as well and remember parallels between Dexter and Judy and Gatsby and Daisy. 🎄Wednesday 12/19 The Great Gatsby Objective Test 🎄Thursday 12/20 The Great Gatsby Objective Test 🎄Friday 12/21 To prepare to begin reading Of Mice and Men during Christmas Break, Read background here (reading level grade 4.5) Click See All View Of Mice and Men Movie Trailer (2:22) View Of Mice and Men Context: The Great Depression (2:23) View Background Video (4:38) What would YOU do for a friend?

Fitzgerald had to drastically change this section of the novel's format; the rest of the book is written entirely from Nick's perspective. This is the only scene that gives us information outside of Nick's knowledge. Also look at the final paragraph of Chapter 4 where Nick kisses Jordan (not out of love, but because he was jealous that he didn't have someone to "haunt" him like Tom and Gatsby). Students ALWAYS argue that Nick does this because he realizes that he likes Jordan. But go back to the text! Phrases like "the girl beside me" and "wan, scornful mouth" give away his general disregard for who Jordan is---he just wants to have someone, at least temporarily. (does any of this remind you of Dexter and Judy?) Assignment for Thursday 12/6: Read Chapter 5 and complete (use the handout I provide!) Close Reading Activity for Pivotal Chapter 5 Listen Here!
