Congratulations on finishing The Great Gatsby!  For homework, please write about one of the themes of the novel.  Give details about how the theme fits into the story.  Here are some theme suggestions (but if you think of another theme, feel free to write about it!): 

  • The decline of The "American Dream" in the 1920's
  • The emptiness of wealth
  • "Only fools fall in love"
  • Living in the past
  • Isolation
  • Honesty

Then, we are starting The Crucible by Arthur Miller!  This is a classic American play.  

I want you to read the whole introduction (if you don't have a section called "introduction by Christopher Bigsby", let me know as soon as possible and I will scan the pages for you!).  After that, read half of Act I, ending on page 19 with "Abigail, starting for Mary: I said shut it, Mary Warren!"
