End Responses to The Great Gatsby

Characterization from Page to Screen
Choose your favorite character from the story.
Did you feel this actor captured the essence of this character and represented her/him well on screen?
Explain why or why not and a particular aspect or scene that brought you to this conclusion.

The Essence of The Great Gatsby
What did you notice the director, Baz Luhrmann, did to make the story jump off the page and onto the screen?  Discuss one aspect you thought the movie represented particularly well, and then one aspect where you felt the film did not accurately or adequately represent Fitzgerald's novel.

"Write What You Know"
Watch this short video (linked here) about F. Scott Fitzgerald and/or read the article.  Then, write about at least two comparison points you see between his life and his written work.
