On Canvas, please post a list of three ideas, values or themes that Twelfth Night, The Great Gatsby, and Fences share.
After each idea/value/theme, please say a few words about how that theme is expressed in each work.
Note: it is not enough to say that "love" is a theme in all three texts. As with thesis sentences, specificity is the key here!
