John Green talks The Great Gatsby (VERY quickly...)

As you may know, John Green wrote The Fault in Our Stars. And Looking for Alaska. He's kind of a big deal.

He's also a really smart and thoughtful and passionate reader, and he has a lot to say (VERY QUICKLY) about The Great Gatsby. In class today, we watched the first 2 minutes of the second video (below), in which he discusses The Valley of Ashes and TJ Eckleburg. If you want, you can also check out the first video, in which he discusses Chapter 1. Enjoy!
