Welcome back. This week we will be focusing on finishing The Great Gastby by Friday which will mean a majority of time spent reading. However, don't forget that your final projects are due next Wednesday and you will only have Monday and Tuesday in class to finish them. Today, we will bring up our final thought to help guide us through the rest of the novel: symmetry vs. juxtaposition. Using the file linked below, you will be asked to examine how Fitzgerald takes two ideas and simultaneously asks readers to compare how similar and how different those ideas are. Take a watch through the following two videos (language warning: the first video contains two f-bombs) to see the effect symmetry and juxtaposition have in film. Then, consider how these same principals affect literature and how they might influence readers and meaning.
