Chapter Three--suggestions

1. Pay attention to the colors, especially about the party.
2. Describe Nick at the party: what's he wearing, what sets him apart, what does he do.
3. Owl Eyes is important...and what is it with those library books?
4. Describe what Gatsby is like. Pay attention to him in terms of the other people at his party.
5. How do the people at the party behave? (You should be able to write a well-developed paragraph about this!) Pay attention to what happens to the behavior as the party progresses.
6. The oranges and lemons, the couples, and cars all have something in common in this chapter. You needed to pay attention to them because they give great insight into what happens!
7. We find out something new about Jordan...Uh oh!
8. Owl Eyes is at the end as well. Which wheel is it? The steering wheel? What does that tell us.
9. "Old Sport"--discuss.
10. Things seemed tacked on at the end--why might Fitzgerald do that?
