Today in class we began our work on an essay to determine whether The Great Gatsby is a modern or romantic text. Rivers stressed (in writing... he wasn't there) that since we had two days to do a potentially one-day assignment that we should spend a lot of time planning and revising our essay. The ability to listen to music certainly helped as well. I personally spent a large amount of time just staring at the cover of the Great Gatsby, because once you've read the book, the cover is so perfect that it gives you all the information and inspiration you need to write.
