Class discussion

Yesterday's discussion was exactly what I signed up for in this class. I really enjoyed how we went majorly in depth in regards to Gatsby, Daisy, and Fitzgerald about how they are perceived by others and the actual person they are. Emotional Bankruptcy were two great words Ms. LaMags put up to describe how we change ourselves to appear what we think people want us to be. The “Crack Up” was also a great part of our discussion to help us understand the reasons why we act the way we do. Fitzgerald’s perception of his life before being famous and after shows us how we can be brought down by trying to be something we are not truly. His whole concept of not being an “I” anymore really hit me on this subject. Appearance verses reality plays a major role here.
