THE WORLD IS MY LIBRARY

 In class we were assigned to research two short stories and an american novel that we found interesting or ones that simply caught our attention. I wanted to look for a novel first, so I typed American Novels into the search bar. There were a lot of options but there were two that caught my attention. The Scarlet Letter was one of them and I also came across the novel The Color Purple. I think that both of these novels would be a great read. For the short stories I went through the same process and found one that's called An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge. I read a summary on it and found it super interesting. I would be happy to read these either in class or in my free time.

If she really loved him she wouldn't have done all that. I would't want her to date someone I know or care about because she's a bad partner and really con...

GATSBY NOTES AND THOUGHTS ON CHAPTER 6

At the beginning of the chapter, a reporter showed up at Gatsby's house. He wanted to know more about Gatsby. Nick then explains that there was a story about Gatsby that said he didn't really live in a house, but on a boat that looked like a house. He also said that they thought the boat would sail up and down the shore. Nick let us know that Gatsby's real name was James Gatz and he had it legally changed at the age of 17. At the end of the chapter Gatsby was telling Nick what had happened 5 years ago on a date with Daisy. He was adding so much detail when telling Nick and it was weird thinking someone wouldn’t keep those thoughts/ moments to themselves. He also told Nick that he wanted to change the past. He wanted everything to be how it was 4 years ago. There were certain things that he wasn’t considering.  For one, Daisy was 4 years older therefor had a new perspective on everything around her. The big one was the fact that Daisy has a daughter. What would Gatsby do wit...
