Hi readers! Sorry for the late post, I'm home sick today. Here you go:
Brian Sutton argues in his article that light plays a big role in The Great Gatsby. It is both a symbol and a driving force behind Gatsby's dream. Summarize a part of the article that was powerful in one paragraph and then comment on the plausibility of his argument in another. Are you convinced? Why or why not?
Your comment is due by 9 p.m. on Tuesday evening.
Happy reading and writing!

Monsters in Frankenstein
Dear Juniors,
Welcome to A.P. English Literature! I hope you enjoyed reading Frankenstein over the summer. It's a great book for delving into literary devices like symbolism and allusion. Don't worry, we'll discuss more in class!
This is your first blog post assignment. Please comment on the following prompt:
Who is the true monster in this book--the creature, Victor Frankenstein, or both?
Write a paragraph or two commenting on why you think this is true.
Your comment to this post is due on Tuesday, August 18th by 9 p.m. Be sure to write your name in your post so that I can give you credit.
Happy blogging,
Ms. Delman
