Yea! Mrs. Trice is back! Apparently, a brush with a gall stone isn't enough to keep our intrepid teacher away:) We are all glad that everything is okay!
Today, we covered comparisons in our grammar lesson. I think the big two ides to remember there are 1) use the comparative to compare two things and the superlative to compare more than two things and 2) don't confuse less and fewer. Less is used to compare things that cannot be counted (water, anger, imagination) and fewer is used to compare things that can be counted (crayons, tears, ideas).
Don't forget that if you haven't already, you need to turn in your reflective essays. We are taking off 10% per day that your assignment is late.
On the Gatsby front, we nearly finished the movie (we have about 20 minutes left). You all predicted (I think) that George Wilson was going to blame Tom Buchannon for Myrtle's death. Are you correct? We'll find out on Monday!!!
I'm still interested in the question of whether Daisy and Gatsby share a true love? What do you think? Also, why do you think that Fitzgerald suddenly had Nick realize it was his birthday after Tom and Gatsby got in that argument. What is the significance of that?
