Happy Halloween!
1. After we take our Formalism/New Historicism Annotation Quiz...
2. Open the following Gatsby and the Lost Generation Assignment: Gatsby and the Lost Generation
You will read through the background information on The Lost Generation first. You will then find 6 relatively simple/obvious questions from this information. Answer these, but leave some space in between each response. When you are done answering these questions, go back 2-6 and jot down some connections that you find in Gatsby to the philosophies and historical aspects that are presented. Stretch beyond the obvious... see what more intricate findings develop.
3. Pick up the Marxism and Gender Criticism handout. Make your way through this for Wednesday, November 2nd. You will need the basics from the first few pages in your notes, plus the additional questions from the "Literary Theory" questions link.
Some translations from the general category to the specific school of theory on
the Lit Theory Questions Handout:
"Biographical" and "Historical" are New Historicism
"Sociological" is Marxism
"Feminism" is Gender
