If anyone is having a hard time remembering Great Gatsby and you are in Mrs. Rowley's english class,
here is somrthing I noticed.... though it can work on many levels
sit in a desk facing the door tot he room. now lookf rom left to right. yuo'll see hidden heiroglyphs.
1st, the question for today was "what is yuo ideal boyfirend/girlfriend? Is it difficult to establish mature relationships with peers of the opposite gender?"
got to the right, here's what you'll see...
"The one that makes you cry isn't worth crying over, the grass is always greener on the other side, the rose is beautiful but its taste is deadly..." then one skips over the door to the wall w/ the bookshelf by it:
1st you see the scarlet letter pictures with the symbol A for Adultery.
go right
then you see the Tudor painting, a red rose. Tudor was a royal dynasty. Then you see a picture of the sun mad at a woman with a person on the earth bellow them/. right beneath it is a picture of benjamin franklin : the most dangerous man in america.
go right to see a picture of person lying on the ground, bleeding, next to a horse (horses were the civil war equivalent of cars)
right and up is reading: "the less you say, the more it means." and lower, "think not from what you see, but from what others see" to paraphrase the text.
further right is an arch that read "american litereature" on a blue background, and beyond that is a presentation of our "Thanatopses" poems about death.
this covers the story of the gatsby novel. and it has other interesting themes as well.
