Weekend homework...

Using the vocabulary words (listed below), consider how these apply to The Great Gatsby.
Please write one paragraph about Fitzgerald's chosen ARRANGEMENT of his story, using 3-4 vocabulary words and specific direct reference to the characters/storyline in your explanation.
Next, write a paragraph about Fitzgerald's DICTION (word choice) in the novel, and how that impacts meaning.  Use 3-4 vocabulary words and direct reference (through direct quotes) to the text in your explanation.
Finally, write a paragraph about how Fitzgerald's VOICE comes across in his writing.  Again, use 3-4 vocabulary words and direct reference to the characters/storyline in your explanation.

Finally, consider how the vocabulary words relate to the book from your earlier reading experiences (the one you have been using in class over this week), and/or your social issues book.  This is just to practice with the words, not something you need to write down.
