Yesterday!

It sure was good to be back to school, wasn't it? I really missed hanging out with you all. Mrs. Trice did, too!

Yesterday, we had a grammar review over Pronoun Reference Problems. After that, we completed an Anticipation Guide over The Great Gatsby. Finally, we began watching the movie.

Michael was right to point out that Tom Buchannon is a racist. We are intended to find him to be an unlikable character. He is also overbearing, cheating on his wife, and thoughtless.

We also discovered that Daisy (Tom's wife) is empty-headed, superficial and self-centered. What do you think the author (F. Scott Fitzgerald) is saying about people with money?

We didn't talk about the symbols of the green light on Daisy's dock or the billboard in the ashlands. Remind me to talk about that next time.

Reminder: Your "How It Feels to be _______________ Me" essay is due tomorrow (Wednesday 2/4).

Have a great day!
