The Great Gatsby, Chapter 3
Examining Gatsby in a Twitter Age
Imagine you are a random party-goer at the first Gatsby party that Nick is invited to (pages
41-54). Suppose social media existed in the 1920’s. Compose five tweets (under 160 characters) that
express your feelings towards the things happening around you. These tweets can be speculative
gossip about the people you see, reviews of the food and drinks you try, things you overhear, etc.
Here are two examples (don’t steal them!)
@JordanBaker: Sorry that everyone’s bringing up the golf tournament. Haters gonna
hate. #keepsmiling
Thanks @JayGatsby for the first supper…AND the second. #fourthmeal
