In case you've missed any of our topics, here they are. These are due NOW.

Gatsby Journal #1

If money was not an issue, if you had unlimited wealth, how would it impact your life? What type of person would you be? What would you do with your money?

Social Class in America Journal—Gatsby Journal #2

America prides itself on the idea that anyone can become what they want, regardless of class. This is part of the American Dream.

--Do you think social class matters in America or not?

--Do you think mobility (movement) between classes is easy in America?

In a paragraph or two, elaborate on your answers with evidence from your observations and experiences.

Gatsby Journal #3—The Past

If you could go back and relive any time from your past, what would it be? Is there anything you would change? Why? Are there things you would leave the same? Again, why? Describe this time as vividly as you can, bringing it to life for the reader just as it lives in your memory.

Gatsby Journal #4

Think about greed. What effect does greed have on people? How does it impact those who feel it as well as those who are around greedy people? Try to relate this to a real-world experience you have witnessed or been part of.
