Arrangement of The Great Gatsby

Today in class, we analyzed the arangement of the book as a whole.  Each pair was assigned a chapter and considered the following for their assigned chapter:
1.  What elements of anticipation, tension, and uncertainty exist in this chapter?
2.  How does this chapter fit into the whole of the book?
3.  What was Fitzgerald's purpose for this chapter?

For homework, please complete these two tasks:
1.  Complete the webquest (The Great Gatsby Treasure Hunt), with focus on the last page, and how knowledge of the context informs your understanding and connections to the book
2.  Write a "tell-off" letter to either a character or F. Scott Fitzgerald himself about something that angered you within the book.  Have fun with this and be creative! :)
