Gatsby vocabulary. Words 1-16 for quiz Thur/Fri Gatsby Quizlet deck (up to "impetuous")
Write sentences for all 16 words. Sentences must have sufficient contextual clues to reveal the meaning of the word. 1-5 today; 6-16 Tue/Wed
Observations of Hemingway's style:

  • The Old Man refers to self in 3rd person (77) and "The Old Man," not Santiago
  • Describes the marlin in specific detail and as noble, regal "Wide" (50)
  • "La mar" vs. "el mar"  The Old Man sees the world as . . . (29)
HOMEWORK: Read The Old Man and the Sea by next Monday (finish 67 by next time if not already there)
