1 The Great Gatsby Objectives, Skills, Etc.
2 Chapter I Narrator and Point of View
3 Analyze Narrator and Point of View Today s Schedule Recap previous work with Fitzgerald-esque themes Notes on types of narration First vs. Third person Pros and cons Read Ch. 1
4 Analyze Narrator and Point of View The narrator is the person who relates the events of a story to a reader or audience. Point of view is the perspective from which a story is told. The point of view from which a story is told determines how the reader interprets the story and understands the characters.
5 Analyze Narrator and Point of View Three major types of Point of View First Person: narrator is a character in the story; uses the first person I Third Person Limited: narrator does not participate in the action of the story; relates the thoughts and feelings of only one character Third Person Omniscient: narrator does not participate in the action of the story; relates the thoughts and feelings of all the characters
6 Analyze Narrator and Point of View The Great Gatsby is told from the first person point of view. The story is told by narrator Nick Carraway, and he uses the first person pronouns I, me, and my to help convey events. What are the pros and cons of first person narrative?

8 Chapter II Setting
9 Analyze Fitzgerald s use of setting Today s Schedule Recap yesterday s work on narration Initial impressions of Nick Carroway Notes on Setting What commonalities should we expect too see in this Fitzgerald work? Read Ch. 2
10 Analyze Fitzgerald s use of setting The setting is made up of the following key aspects: Time Location The people living there The culture The history Based on our studies of Fitzgerald and his other works, what should we consider in this text?
11 Chapter III Characterization
12 Analyze characterization in Gatsby Today s Schedule Recap yesterday s reading and work on setting Notes on characterization Direct and indirect Read Ch. 3 Finish for homework
13 Analyze characterization in Gatsby Characterization is the technique by which authors develop characters. Direct characterization is when the author or narrator tells the reader what the character is like. Jennifer is a good student. Indirect characterization is when the author gives information about a character and allows the reader to draw his or her own conclusions about that character.
14 Analyze characterization in Gatsby There are two ways we can learn about a character through Indirect Characterization A character s own thoughts, feelings and actions. On her way to class after lunch, Susan saw some trash on the ground that wasn t hers. She decided to pick it up anyway, and threw it in the trash can. Interactions with other characters the reader witnesses how characters interact and what they say about each other. Lacy said, Julie seems to not care about her school work anymore. It s as if she is distracted or concerned about something. What do you think? I don t know, but it is certainly unlike her to get bad grades, Jazmine replied.
15 Analyze characterization in Gatsby Stories that are narrated in the first person can be confusing when you are finding direct quotes. Because The Great Gatsby is narrated in the first person by Nick, all direct characterization will also be Nick s interpretation and opinion. As discussed with Day One, there are pros and cons to this
16 Chapter IV Foreshadowing and Predictions
17 Analyze foreshadowing and predicting Today s Schedule Recap yesterday s work on characterization Direct vs. Indirect Notes on foreshadowing and predicting Use characterization to do so Read Ch. 4 Study for quiz
18 Analyze foreshadowing and predicting Foreshadowing: hints and clues of events to occur later in the plot. Used in order to build suspense and make a story more interesting Prediction: an educated guess, as to what will happen next based on these hints or clues
19 Analyze foreshadowing and predicting No Gatsby turned out all right at the end; it is what preyed on Gatsby, what foul dust floated in the wake of his dreams that temporarily closed out my interest in the abortive sorrows and shortwinded elations of men. (Nick, as narrator) Summary: Prediction:
20 Analyze foreshadowing and predicting No Gatsby turned out all right at the end; it is what preyed on Gatsby, what foul dust floated in the wake of his dreams that temporarily closed out my interest in the abortive sorrows and shortwinded elations of men. (Nick, as narrator) Summary: Gatsby turned out to be a decent person in Nick s eyes. What ended up bothering Nick were the cruel people and sad events that took place surrounding Gatsby, making him sick and tired of the people around him. Prediction: Something is going to happen to Gatsby, but he will turn out okay. It seems like Nick will struggle with how to view him, though. Nick will end up sick of people and hearing about their problems.
21 Chapter V Symbolism
22 Analyze Fitzgerald s use of symbolism Today s Schedule Recap last week s work on Gatsby Understanding Gatsby s motives Notes on symbolism This may be one of the most crucial aspects to Fitzgerald s writing Read Ch. 5
23 Identify symbolism Symbolism is the creative use of objects, or symbols, to indicate a deeper meaning or to represent something important. What might each of the following represent? Dove The color red Night/darkness Heat Forest A broken watch
24 Identify symbolism It is important that we recognize the author s use of symbols to indicate a deeper message in his or her work. Fitzgerald skillfully uses symbolism throughout The Great Gatsby to create a novel full of depth and significance.
25 Chapter VI Figurative Language
26 Identify figurative language Today s Schedule Recap previous work on Gatsby The importance of symbolism to Fitzgerald s writings Notes on figurative language Metaphors Similes Personification Read Ch. 5
27 Identify figurative language There are several types of figurative language that Fitzgerald utilizes, called figures of speech: metaphor - a comparison made between two seemingly unlike objects: the pillow was a cloud simile - a comparison between two unlike objects using the words like or as in the comparison: the pillow was like a marshmallow personification - giving human qualities or characteristics to non-human objects: the wind sang its sad song
28 Chapter VII Style
29 Analyze Fitzgerald s style Today s Schedule Recap yesterday s work on Gatsby Understanding Gatsby s motives Notes on author s style This is the most difficult, but one of the most important aspects to analyzing literature Read Ch. 7 Finish for HW
30 Identify traits of the author s style Style is a literary technique used by an author to create a piece of literature that reveals the author s uniqueness. Word choice, figurative language, imagery, rhythm, sentence structure, foreshadowing, symbolism, use of dialect, for example, all work together to make an author s writing distinctive. Very often, the time period in which an author writes strongly influences his style.
31 Identify traits of the author s style F. Scott Fitzgerald s uses symbolism, imagery, and repetition of ideas and situations extensively. He also uses these elements to show a process: struggling to make sense of the characters and their complicated lives. Nick -Short, simple sentences -Heightened vocab -Symbolism -Words sentences -Clear rhythm pattern -foreshadowing -repetition -sensory images -plan, simple vocab -figurative language -stream of consciousness -dialect
32 Chapter VIII Lit analyses
33 Understand organization of a well-developed paragraph for a lit analysis Today s Schedule Recap yesterday s work on Gatsby Understanding Gatsby s motives, as well as the climax of our story Introduction to lit analysis TIQA TIQA Read Ch. 8 Recap the climax of the story! Prepare for the falling action Ahhhhhhhhhh!
34 Understand organization of a well-developed paragraph for a lit analysis A literary analysis is a type of essay that analyzes or looks at a specific aspect of a piece of literature in detail TIQA-TIQA is an acronym for a technique that you can use in writing a literary analysis. Possible ways to do this include analyzing characters, theme(s), setting, symbolism, etc.
35 Understand organization of a well-developed paragraph for a lit analysis For a well-developed body paragraph, you should have the following: Topic sentence Introduce quote: put quote into context (what s going on in the story). Quote: provide your direct/indirect quote - Yellow Analyze: explain to the reader the importance of the quote and how it supports your topic sentence Pink Pink (at least two sentences to analyze quote) Transition (notice, this is a different T ) Introduce quote: put the next quote into context. Quote: provide a second direct/indirect quote - Yellow Analyze: explain to the reader the importance of the quote and how it supports your topic sentence Pink Pink (at least two sentences to analyze quote)
36 Chapter IX analysis of Final themes and symbols
37 Analyze the entire text of Gatsby, looking specifically at themes, symbols, and characterization Today s Schedule Recap yesterday s work on Gatsby Understanding motives of Gatsby, Wilson, Daisy, etc. Review notes on themes and symbols Read the end of CH. 8 Understand Gatsby s downfall and the holocaust was complete Finish the novel Final reading guide due TUESDAY Today s Breakfast is from Devyn, Renee, Miranda, and Kelsey
38 Analyze the entire text of Gatsby, looking specifically at themes, symbols, and characterization Last class, we worked on writing well-developed paragraphs for a literary analysis. As you think about an essay topic, writing on theme(s) or symbol(s) would be a great option.
39 Analyze the entire text of Gatsby, looking specifically at themes, symbols, and characterization Reminder: Theme is the central idea or message in a work of literature. The theme of a piece of literature should not be confused with the subject of the work: theme is a general statement about life or human nature. A reader must take a good look at the entire novel: the title, plot, characters, setting, and mood, which all work together to reveal the themes in a piece of literature.
40 Analyze the entire text of Gatsby, looking specifically at themes, symbols, and characterization As mentioned in the symbolism activity from Chapter Five, symbols are found throughout the novel The Great Gatsby. One type of symbol that is particularly prevalent is color. Colors have connotations, or additional meaning associated with them. These connotations can be crucial in deciphering the meaning and importance behind characters, images, or objects.
