On Friday, we had to read the first chapter of The Great Gatsby, for a book chat. We were put into groups, and we had to talk about our group questions, the group questions were chosen by your group, they chose from three different questions

A. How does the text show the advantages of wealth and status in the USA? What is Fitzgerald’s tone about that?

B .How do perception and memory (in Nick or other characters) complicate the audience’s understanding of the truth (i.e. what really happened)? What is Fitzgerald’s tone about that?

C. How does this novel show Romanticism AND Modernism? What is Fitzgerald’s tone about that?

We got a piece of paper when we walked into class, this was a discussion sheet. We had to write down certain letters for what each person in your group did. That is all that was done on Friday.
