The Great Gatsby --Chapter 2

BellringerWhat is the significance to the rumors about where Gatsby inherited his money from?

Recap: We reviewed Chapter 2 of the novel today with group presentations of their web. This also led to discussion of the chapter. The class webs are posted below.

Period 1/2


Period 7/8


Please examine some of the main ideas from the chapter. The important ideas for you to take away would be how contradictory Tom is. (This will come up again). Also, note the importance of the Valley of Ashes, and how it represents the decline of the American Dream.

Homework: Read Chapter 3. Select a topic for your research.

Nice job today!
