CommentaryThis week's commentary will be provided by you! What do you think of this most awkward first date? Consider the following symbols/discussions:
Past: Can you repeat the past? The wise baboon Rafiki tells us, "The past can hurt." What does Gatsby think about the past that we know of so far? Colors: Consider what images and thoughts come to mind when you think of green, gold, and white. Why might these colors be in certain scenes? Weather: We often use weather as a means to convey how we feel or what the mood is like. How do we see this in the interactions with Daisy, Gatsby, and Nick? Clothes/shirts: "The clothes maketh the man." Who is Gatsby? |
