This session considered the significance of the THIRD CHAPTER and the focus of discussion was OWL EYES in The Library and the Singing Girl who is sobbing as she sings. Students were asked to consider the symbolic significance of a Party that transforms from being a symbol of opulence and hedonism into a chaotic and dangerous mess!!
Students need to consider WHY Fitzgerald introduces Gatsby into the narrative in such an understated manner and the significance of Carraway's comments about his own experience in New York. There is a lot of detail within this chapter that will become significant as we travel through the next couple of chapters.
HOMEWORK: Continue to revisit previous blog entries and keep reading the novel. We will be discussing CHAPTER FOUR/FIVE in the next session. Students need to complete the essay.
