BP(1/22-1/26)

 Monday - Absent

Tuesday - Desks were rearranged into groups and we were all given parts to analyze and show our understanding of Chapter 3 of The Great Gatsby. My group had some very smart individuals: Anthony, Douglas, Robby, and me (the smartest ngl). I was given the role of creating ten questions based on Chapter 3, which really took no time at all after collectively reading the chapter with the group.

Wednesday - Odd Class Schedule

Thursday - We made slightly new groups and made a poster describing a character from TGG. We had to include the character’s name, 5 describing traits, and apply an acronym to the character. Ours was Daisy Buchanan.


My 10 critical thinking questions:

  1. How does the party in reflect the theme of excess and superficiality in "The Great Gatsby"?

  3. What is the role of rumors and gossip in shaping the characters' perceptions of each other in this chapter?

  5. How does the symbolism of the Valley of Ashes contribute to the overall meaning of the novel?

  7. Analyze the significance of the automobiles and the car accidents.

  9. In what ways does Fitzgerald use the character of Nick to provide insight into the lives of the rich and privileged during the Jazz Age?

  11. What was the possible theme of social class and wealth as depicted in the interactions between characters at Gatsby's party.

  13. How does the description of Gatsby's library in Chapter 3 contribute to the understanding of his character and aspirations?

  15. Discuss the impact of Gatsby's love for Daisy on the events and atmosphere at his parties.

  17. Examine the portrayal of women in Chapter 3 and how it contributes to the broader commentary on gender roles in the novel.

  19. How does Fitzgerald use irony to highlight the contradictions and flaws in the characters' lives and society?

Friday - We completed our posters and finished up our other group work assignment if we needed to.

Reflection (11/13)

 Today, Mr. Rease had a substitute, the sub had a very thick accent and it was hard understanding who's name he was attempting at pronouncing in during roll call. We were given a worksheet on the short story we started last week by James Baldwin. The worksheet was pretty straightforward and simple, so I completed it fairly quickly.
