Great Gatsby Reading Blog #2 (ch. 4-6)

Fitzgerald does a fantastic job of revealing details to us a little at a time, allowing us to pass and change judgment as the story progresses. Address the following questions in relation to the development of Jay Gatsby: 1) What is the purpose of Meyer Wolfsheim as a character? How does he affect the way we see Gatsby? 2) What does the backstory about Jay and Daisy's past do to our impressions of Gatsby? 3) What does the story of the rest of Gatsby past due to our impressions of him? 4) How does your overall impression of Gatsby change over these three chapters - do you like him more, less, and why?

Check out this dance video. This would have been what the aristocrats were doing to jazz music, but it looks like fun. Count Basie's "Jumpin' at the Woodside" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdWgHtTau48
