Intro: Chapter One: The Great Gatsby
Take-Home Project
Read and discuss the following quotes:
 Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone, just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the
advantages you’ve had.
 Reserving judgment is a matter of infinite hope.
 The intimate revelations of young men are usually plagiaristic (copied).
 Tolerance…has a limit.
 I want…the world to be in uniform and at a sort of moral attention forever.
 I want no more riotous excursions with privileged glimpses into the human heart.
 If personality is an unbroken series of successful gestures, then there was something gorgeous about him
As homework, choose one quote from the opening pages of The Great Gatsby and make a collage
using modern magazine cutouts or online photos (at least 10). Be sure to write your quote in the center of
the collage. The pictures should have a variety of political, social, cultural, or historical references to the
quote. Type a paragraph or two explaining the significance of all of the pictures to the quote (at least 10
sentences) and attach to the back of the collage.
