Gatsby Final Commentary
Folks:
In many ways there is a deep ambiguity in New York, a place of exchange, a place of hopes and failures, a place of rich and poor, a city of people moving up, moving down. This dichotomy is suggested in the people and dreams of The Great Gatsby. Take a few moments and write in response to the following:
What was Gatsby's gift of hope? How does this echo in your project?
What is the "foul dust"? and how does this come into being in your project?
…it was an extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness such as I have never found in any other person and which it is not likely I shall ever find again. No--Gatsby turned out all right at the end; it is what preyed on Gatsby, what foul dust floated in the wake of his dreams that temporarily closed out my interest in the abortive sorrows and short-winded elations of men. (6-7)
