Gatsby's Glasses and the end of the novel

Thursday we worked hard to try to articulate the main argument of Siri Hustvedt's essay on The Great Gatsby by using the Graff Template.  Here is the link to the handout: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0zERdqb5ufTSEJzNTBqcUlVUFU/edit?usp=sharing

Friday we began by discussing this prompt: 

F. Scott Fitzgerald crafted Nick Carraway as a “perfect narrator.”  But Nick does have imperfections.  Examine his imperfections and discuss how they affect the outcome of the novel.  Is one more important than the other?  Do they compliment each other?  How do they play off his “cardinal virtue” of honesty?   Consider how there were contradictions and imperfections in the society and culture of the 1920’s as a point of comparison.  Write an essay that examines imperfections in society and in Nick Carraway.

Then we read and discussed the questions on the handout in the packet with Gatsby's Glasses titled "Land of the Free, Home of the Dream."  Filling that out will help you with your analysis on Monday.

Also, read HUCK FINN to page 68 (or the end of chapter 11) for FRIDAY.
