Monday

In Class
We discussed who Trimalchio was and why Ftztgerald compared him to Gatsby, using a handout with background on Trimalchio and 7 discussion questions.

Homework
Write a three paragraph reflection on the turn of events in chapters 5, 6, and 7 (with minimal summary). Focus on the issue of class distinction (this is where you reflect) because it is an important theme throughout the book. What are your thoughts (more reflection) about class distinctions, even amongst the rich in The Great Gatsby? Include quotes from these 3 chapters to support your opinion.
