Take two minutes to review the HW questions with a partner. • What is Gatsby’s REAL story? • How does Tom feel about Gatsby? • How does Daisy feel at Gatsby’s party? • Though Gatsby is happy that he has been reunited with Daisy, what does he want Daisy to say or do? • What questions do YOU still have about chapter 6?
Write! For one-two minutes, write about a conflict or disagreement you’ve been involved in. Did you learn anything from it? If so, what did you learn? If not, why not? *This can be in your notebook.
Conflict • Man v. man • E.g. Curley vs. Lennie where Lennie crushes Curley’s hand. • Man v. society • E.g. John Proctor stands up for what he believes in and decides not to lie. • Man v. self • E.g. George can’t decide whether or not to kill Lennie/save him from a worse fate • Man v. nature • E.g. In “The Most Dangerous Game,” is when Rainsford is running through the jungle away from General Zaroff’s dogs.
POSTERS. What you need… • TWO EXAMPLES of your assigned conflict from Gatsby • Briefly explain the situation/who the conflict is between. • TWO quotes total to show where the conflicts occur (one quote per example) to show the conflict. • What the conflict REVEALS about a character or a situation. • If you finish early, try to find one more example of the conflict. • When finished, you will PRESENT these to your classmates.
MAN V. SELF IN OF MICE AND MEN: • George v. himself • Can’t decide whether to kill Lennie himself (mercy) or let Curley get to him. • “George raised the gun and his hand shook, and he dropped his hand to the ground again” (100) • What we learn: George knows that his American Dream with Lennie can’t go on forever because Lennie may hurt someone else, or be hurt himself. • Crooks v. self • Wants to go with George, Lennie, and Candy to their dream farm, but knows he’s black and maybe it is unrealistic. • Crooks says about joining George, Lennie, and Candy, “Well, jus’ forget it, I didn’ mean it. Jus’ foolin’. I wouldn’ want to go no place like that” (79) • What we learn: Crooks doesn’t go because he’s accepted his fate that he won’t reach his American Dream. Perhaps this is a commentary on the opportunities available to blacks during this time period.
