For Friday, January 16

Read Chapter 7 in The Great Gatsby.  For the most part, just read for pleasure.  However, when you come to Tom and Gatsby's argument on my pages 130 - 135, start annotating at the paragraph that begins, "'Self-control!' repeated Tom incredulously."  Continue annotating through the paragraph that begins, "Go on.  He won't annoy you.  I think he realizes that his presumptuous little flirtation is over."

You will be annotating for the rhetorical strategies that Tom and Gatsby use.  Daisy is their primary audience.  For now, just annotate using the Greek words pathos, ethos, logos.  We will dig deeper a little later.
