BLOG 2 - Did you read Class Announcements below???

In Blog Response 1, you focused on an area of Gatsby’s life (besides Daisy) that did not meet his grand expectations.  Review your response, and/or reading through your classmates answers, to help focus your answer to the next bullets. USE CHAPTERS 6-end TO ANSWERS THESE QUESTIONS. 

·         From an outsider’s perspective, Gatsby lived a fabulous life filled with money, parties, and friends.  However, the reader learns Gatsby’s life is created on an illusion of happiness.  Based on this novel, what are the benefits AND dangers of living life this way?

·         Choose another character that could tell the story of Jimmy Gatz. Identify which character you would have tell his story.  Then, specifically identify fundamental examples of how the reader’s understanding of the novel would change. 



When answering this response, remember each bullet is a full paragraph.  Each paragraph must include text evidence, properly cited.  Be sure to AVOID SUMMARY.  Instead, I want to know why and how events matter.  Remember to email specific questions within the established time frame.
