things to look for

Some elements which your writing should contain re.Nick's journal/ things to look out for in the writings of others in the class:

A sense of his unreliabilty
His (implicit) anti-semitism
His continuing (although possibly now tarnished) awe in which he regards Gatsby/ his changing attitudes towards him
His convoluted, pompous prose style (sentence lengths/ verb choices/ phraseology)
Reasonable conjecture around Gatsby's sudden exit
A sense of shock / naivety/ puritanical response to Wolfshiem's fixing of the World Series/ the violence in New York
A sense of discomfort in the surroundings- possible reference to how it's different to the Mid-West/ East/West Egg.

Peace out. Stay safe kids; don't be sponges.
