Week at a glance April 21 - 25, 2014

We'll continue reading F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby.  Students all have their own copy of the novel checked out to them.  Last week we discovered four of the main core characters: narrator Nick Carraway, his cousin Daisy Buchanan and her "hulking" husband Tom, and their friend, Jordan Baker.  This week we meet two minor, yet critical characters: voluptuous Myrtle Wilson and her ghost of a husband George.  After many intriguing rumors, ominous hints, and idle speculation, we will finally also meet the mysterious Jay Gatsby.
