The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
We introduced the time period--the 1920s--on Friday and discussed one of the big themes of the novel via a poem by Edgar Arlington Robinson ("Richard Corey"), so now we're ready to actually start the book itself. Much of our reading will be done in class, but you may be asked to finish a chapter for homework. You can find a link to the novel below, as well as a link to audio of the book.
