AP Lit

We watched an A & E biography clip from Youtube as an intro to F. Scott Fitzgerald (10 minutes). Have a look. Next, we read and annotated the first two pages of the novel looking for stylistic attributes and we created notes on the traits of the narrator and pointed out some of the motifs that will present themselves. The novel is an easy read so you'll be able to finish it quickly. The writing style is unique from a 1925 perspective. Check SDS for the date of the Camus test. If you missed any of our discussions, be sure to borrow the notes from a friend. Read the last chapters of both sections carefully.

Be sure to be able to explain why he wishes the crowd to watch his execution.
