Homework

The following post is just to provide information. Send the paper via email--not to BB.

PAPER for the Gatsby sequence:

As you know, we have done FOUR “preps” about various themes in the novel. This assignment asks that you take ONE of these preps and develop it into a PAPER.

Some basic criteria and reminders:

—It must be sent via EMAIL by midnight on Thursday, April 29th. Send Word files, NOT google.docs, pdf, idt, wps, etc…

—It must be 600—900 words.

—It must be based on ONE of the topics listed in the preps—please don’t combine them. Of course, you can and should make use of what you have already started!!

*—It must refer to specific characters and scenes and pages and quotes. Please do NOT just re-tell long parts of the plot. I’d rather have you refer to one or two scenes in detail. It might be very helpful to take another look at our handout on “Literary Terms.”

**—It must refer to some crucial moment(s) from the last THREE chapters. 

You can send me notes and questions BEFORE the due date—but don’t expect to get a chance do re-writes AFTER the due date.

IT IS WORTH 8 POINTS (ALL-OR-NOTHING AS ALWAYS).
