Socratic seminar on The Great Gatsby notes

- Myrtle loves money more than Tom

- before ww1 the arch duke of Austria was assassinated and then the war started , its almost the same same as if Daisy wasn't driving or took a different turn than maybe Myrtle wouldn't have died therefore Gatsby wouldn't have died

- Gatsby is like Richard Cory because many people were envious of him and wanted to be like him but in the end they both  die BUT Gatsby didn't kill himself like Richard Cory did...Richard Cory was unhappy but no one ever noticed Gatsby was unhappy because he didn't have Daisy's love.

- Daisy is either w ver weak women because she couldnt leave Tom
or she was a very strong woman that was selfish and was only with Tom for money

- The THREE SYMBOLS that showed up throughout the book was the Green light, ash heaps, and the eyes of T.J. Ekelburg

Chapter 8 notes

-the story took a dark turn fast with Myrtles death in chapter 7

-the theme is now death

- with the theme being death its a universal theme because every human knows what death is and can relate to it in one way or another

- Nick went over to Gatsby's house and when he left they said goodbye a lot, it felt like the story was gonna end there

- It turns out that it was there last goodbye because.....Gatsby was shot and killed by Wilson

-Wilson killed himself after killing Gatsby

- Gatsby is now dead... that hasn't really sunk in yet to be honest

-The book foreshadowed his death by making the season Fall when trees are losing there leaves and things die

-Gatsby's house was also not really "alive" anymore there was dust, a musty smell, stale cigarettes, just very gloomy and dead

- Gatsby is a bootlegger

- Daisy did love Tom once but always loved Gatsby 

- Nick turned 30 

-Myrtle was hit by a car

-Daisy  was driving the car that hit Myrtle

Great Gatsby chapter 3 REMIX

Some Sort of Poem 

Gatsby the mystery 

everyone saying things in whispers 

Nick looking for him accompineid by Miss Jordan Baker

He was in the war along with Nick 

walking and talking 

eventually surprising Nick 

He said "I'm Gatsby"

He said hes not a very good host 

chapter 2 notes ''The Great Gatsby''

Tom is an adulterer

Tom's mistress cheats on her husband

Tom shares the fact that he is cheating with his wifes cousin, Nick!

so far a lot of adultery
neither tom nor his mistress can stand the people they are married to i dont understand why they dont divorce and marry each other 

Great Gatsby chapter 1

To be completely honest I didn't understand a lot of chapter one. The green light at the end of the dock is something that i will always know from The Great Gatsby because in black ops 3 zombies there is an easter egg. the zombies map is based around the same time as the Great Gatsby so on a part of the map there is a dock and at the end of the dock theres a green light.other than that i know that theres a guy named nick that moved to new york and lives in a box surrounded by mansions. i also know that this is Gatsby's story through Nicks eyes. Its hard for me to pay attention to the begining of a book so that about all i know.

MUSIC AS LITERATURE

I think Music can be identified as literature because literature is the collective works of a culture or imaginative or creative writing of recognized artistic value. Many artists get very creative in their music just like in poems. A  novel is no different authors use their creative thinking to make amazing stories so i do consider  music as literature because its a way people can express themselves a way a culture can express itself and its no different  from  a novel or song lyrics are like a poem when you think about it.
