Nicole and I talked about the idea that Gatsby puts Daisy on such a high pedestal that she can't possibly live up to his expectations. We thought that this might be a good way for students to relate to this text. Why do people do this? Why does Gatsby do this? What dies he have to gain by building her up to be more perfect than she could ever be? When it comes to Gatsby and high school, I think that relationships are a theme that has to be brought up. This angle is one that I think students would have some strong opinions on, and maybe even be able to share some of their own experiences.
