Homework: April 10

Honors English 11

  • We're getting into the CRAZY DRAMA of The Great Gatsby. Chapter 7 has a lot to offer in the crazy department, so read it carefully! Keep in mind that you should be looking at the text (what people are saying) and the subtext (what people mean when they say something) when reading the chapter. (Remember, "text/subtext" is like this: You text "k" to a friend. You really mean "I'm annoyed at you because you didn't respond quickly enough/invite me/give me the right answer/pay attention to what I asked..." You get the picture. We live our lives in text/subtext--the "subtext" is what's underneath--sub--the original text.)
