[Today your MOM is up to you.]
JOURNAL TOPIC:
The end of The Great Gatsby is really a meditation on goals, the future, and ultimately the past. Read the last couple paragraphs one more time and let them sink in. As you consider how the words make you feel (the mood), ask yourself: What is the author's tone here? What is Fitzgerald's attitude toward the characters, the subject, and the audience? Is he optimistic that we can change ourselves and our lives, or does he believe that our futures are already determined by our pasts?
AGENDA:
1. Journal (write this as if it were a junior essay, because...)
2. Finish all Gatsby-related posts (notes, yesterday's, all of them)
