MUST KNOW. THE GREAT GATSBY AND USE THREE SPECIFIC REFERENCES IN EACH THREE BODY PARAGRAPHS
PROMPT:
The 1920s was marked by an air of superficiality, but clearly, the characters in The
Great Gatsby demonstrate the underlying complexity of the time. Considering both
the strengths and weaknesses of a main character (choose Gatsby, Nick, Daisy, or
Tom) in the novel, explore the contradictions Fitzgerald exposes and speculate on
what he was saying about society.
INSTRUCTIONS:
• Your essay should be approximately one to two pages in length. Use one-inch margins
and a 12-point font.
• The first paragraph should contain a thesis statement in which you clearly present the
argument you want to make in your essay.
• Each body paragraph should begin with a topic sentence in which you clearly state the
argument for that paragraph.
• Be sure to support your arguments concerning Fitzgerald’s comment with relevant
examples, linked together with intelligent commentary.
