ENGL 20 College of The Sequoias the Great Gatsby and The American Dream Prompt
prompt: Write a 3-page paper double spaced, that explains some aspect of what the text is “doing.” What is it trying to make the
reader see about the social changes occuring — about what it means at that time to be an American?
Although literature is often thought of as being aesthetic – as creating beauty for its own sake – it also
offers social critique and commentary. Perhaps select a theme, trope, or structuring question to begin your
analysis – something like gender roles, class mobility, racial tensions, or “how does The Great Gatsby take
the ‘starting over’ narrative (American Adam motif) and turn it on its head?” As always, anchor your
analysis in textual evidence. You must use appropriate quotes from the novel to back up your analysis
