1)What particular type of imagery is
used to introduce the characters of Daisy and Jordan and why? Quote and fully
analyse.
2)What main colour is used in
conjunction with these women and what might this suggest about their
characters?
3)Can you find any other similarities
between these two characters and the way they are described? Quote and explain.
4)What do these two characters
perhaps tell you about the nature of the American dream?
Please finish for next week.
Re-reading The Great Gatsby through these questions is such a neat revision exercise, especially considering how Fitzgerald uses colour symbolism. The emphasis on white regarding Daisy and Jordan in the early chapters really sets a specific mood, pretending purity while hinting at emptiness. I was just helping my younger cousin with some Meteorology Assignment Help the other day, and it made me realise how much scientists, much like literary authors, rely on subtle visual cues and patterns to convey deeper meaning. I wonder if high school students usually pick up on how that imagery directly links to the superficial nature of the American Dream right away, or if it takes a second read.
