- Write a 2-paragraph response to the film version of The Great Gatsby. Address:
- Paragraph One: Your reaction, observations about similarities between the film and book
- Paragraph Two: Differences between film and book (and purpose for the change...for example, in the novel, Gatsby's floating on a mattress in the pool when he's shot by Wilson. In the film, Gatsby's standing at the edge of the pool, gazing at Daisy's house. When Wilson shoots him in the back, Gatsby falls backward into the pool, reaching for Daisy's house but falling away from it. Symbolic, eh?)
