Dear Juniors,
We discussed Chapters 1-3 of The Great Gatsby. Students were then assigned an interpretive analysis regarding what each party scene illustrates regarding characterization. I wrote the introductory paragraph for the class.

F. Scott
Fitzgerald’s, The Great Gatsby, superficially focuses on the twisted love
between Jay Gatsby and D. B. The main
theme of the novel; however, pertains to a much larger and less romantic scope.
The novel’s primary theme involves the disintegration of the American dream and
the lack of moral fortitude found within the novel’s primary characters. This
moral decay becomes evident as Fitzgerald portrays his characters in a myriad
of different party scenes; depicting their deplorable and degrading moral
standards.
