WELCOME STUDENTS!

This is a place for us to discuss openly and honestly the literature we are reading. Here we are all just communicating our thoughts on what we are reading. There are no right and wrong answers. However, you are expected to be polite, mature, and on topic.

Try this quiz and see which Gatsby character you are most like.  Don't try to manipulate the results and let this be true.  Then post the character results that you got and explain if you like this or not and why?  If you didn't get the character you had hoped for, tell us who you would have preferred and why?  (The deadline to post a response is midnight, Sunday, February 16, 2014.)  There is another open post below this one. 

The Great Fitzgerald...

Fitzgerald is known for saying, “You don't write because you want to say something, you write because you have something to say."  He had so much to say about life, love, and people in The Great Gatsby that it is one of the most quoted novels of all times. What do you believe is a major theme of this novel and how does Fitzgerald convey this theme?  (The deadline to post a response is midnight, Saturday, Feb. 15, 2014.)
