Tonight, read Ch. 2 of The Great Gatsby, continuing to collect evidence on the topic you discussed with your partner at the end of class today. I have listed them below. Also note what you find complex and intriguing about the turn of events and the settings.
**Note the changes below for characters who are not in this chapter:
-Nick’s tone towards the subjects he presents in the second chapter (May need to consult tone bank)
-Comparisons, contrasts, and juxtapositions
-Figurative language
-Imagery
-Characterization of Daisy becomes characterization of Myrtle
-Characterization of Tom
-Chracterization of Jordan (Ms. Baker) becomes characterization of Wilson and Mr. McKee
FYI: Tomorrow we will have an argument lesson and an on-demand based on the following prompt. You may keep it in mind when considering the polite and impolite speech of the characters in The Great Gatsby so far, but are under no pressure to make that connection at this point.
An anthropologist studying first-year students at a university in the United States writes that friendly phrases like “How are you?,” “Nice to meet you,” and “Let’s get in touch” communicate politeness rather than literal intent. What, if anything, is the value or function of such polite speech? In a well-written essay, develop your position on the value or function of polite speech in a culture or community with which you are familiar. Use appropriate evidence from your reading, experience, or observations to support your argument.
