Final Great Gatsby Post

For Monday please complete the following:

Create a question (centered on a theme, symbol, or major character in the novel). Example: What does the green light symbolize for Gatsby, and how does this green light alter his dreams? Your question should start your post.

Then--please answer this question in at least five-hundred words. Your post should contain a brief introductory paragraph and at least two body paragraphs.

Nuts and Bolts:
-We will revise these posts--but you should put your best foot forward from the start.
-You should adhere to the rules of good analytical writing: do not use I, avoid plot summary at all cost, and focus on writing crisp/clear analysis.
-You should have at least two pieces of textual support per paragraph (not including your brief intro).
-Proof read your post and avoid careless errors.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Best,
AK
