If you are completing an individual "longing" essay, turn it in as the bell rings on Thursday.
Examine the cartoon carefully. You can also find this cartoon in your textbook on page 234. Answer questions 1-4 on pages 233-234. In case you do not have your textbook, I have provided the questions below. Please answer in complete sentences.
1.The title of this cartoon alludes to the novel The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Why is the allusion appropriate?
2.Try summarizing the point, or message, of the cartoon. How does the verbal summary change the impact of the visual?
3. What does the audience have to know in order to get the full impact of the cartoon? Will readers who have jobs in the "quickee mart" or places such as McDonald's feel insulted or mocked? Explain.
4. What is the purpose of the expression "old sport"? How does it contribute to the characterization of the man in the suit?
If you have not already annotated the last seven paragraphs of the novel as to literary device and meaning, please do so. I will be taking a grade on this, and we will be working with this passage on Thursday. (See previous post)
