Class discussion

Today’s class was an interesting one. We discussed the deeper meaning in “The Great Gatsby.” It was a very interesting class and the discussion was deep, but I couldn’t always follow what was going on. I found it difficult sometimes to understand what was going on, so it was difficult to participate in the discussion. The class discussion is constantly changing. I found myself thinking hard enough to just follow, without trying to think of something to say. Even though it was a challenging discussion I really enjoyed the content and thought put into it. I don’t exactly remember everything that was said but I do remember thinking “Why is everybody in this class so smart?”
In the discussion we discussed the meaning of the characters in reference to how they were like the author Fitzgereald. The night before we read an article written by Fitzgerald when he was “cracked up” and we related him to the characters in the novel. We also analyzed this article and try to understand what all of it meant and the deeper meaning behind it. Overall it was a great class. It was engaging, thoughtful, and entertaining.
