3. Fitzgerald's Writing Style Google Doc
Take notes on Fitzgerald's writing style. Enter one observation on the Google Doc, quoting your example, citing the page number, and writing at least two sentences discussing the effect of what you have found.
Example: Daisy's house is described as "a bright rosy-colored space fragilely bound into the house by French windows at either end" (12). You could then discuss any of the following:
Why is it "fragile"? (word choice) Why is it "bright rosy-colored"? (imagery)
Why does Fitzgerald choose "French windows" (rather than sturdy American windows, for example)
4. Start writing your version of a fairy tale in Fitzgerald's style.
