Well, that's the end of it. I guess it doesn't pay to obsess about girls like Daisy.
Today we learned about mistakes one can make when drawing comparisons. We also watched the end of The Great Gatsby. After that, we did an activity about secret societies and the rules that accompany them.
I enjoyed our discussion about what teachers do/say/wear. I guess it is true that every group that exists has its own customs and rules. If you are an outsider, you need to practice to learn those rules. Gatsby, for example, studied elocution to try to fit in with the wealthy. One question we might consider is how hard is it to move into a different social class in this country?
Next time, we are going to start looking at a different novel from the early 1900's. That novel is called Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck. I think you will enjoy this novel. We will read it together in class.
Good job on the "quiz" guys:) Now go enjoy the beautiful weather!
