1 Revising the theme of passion in The Great Gatsby
Quotes are chronological and take you up to the beginning of chapter 5. Homework is to collect quotes for the rest of the novel on the theme of passion.

2 For each slide – 5 minutes per slide
1. Read the quote 2. Put a number in the margin – leave space to copy up quote at home. I will put these slides on the blog. There are ten slides altogether. Leave 5 lines for each quote. Write it in using a different colour. 3. Make notes on the following: Who said it? Type of passion shown? Ways meaning is created ? Identify one A02 term used & effect A03 context link? Extension: Name a poem it could link to and write down a quote from that poem. (if time allows, make notes on the comparison/contrast)

3 1 “Tom’s got some woman in New York” “…decency not to phone at dinner time”

4 2 “Stretched out his arms towards the dark water…a single green light”

5 3. “Most of these fellas will cheat you every time. All they think of his money.” “Valley of Ashes” “Here’s your money - go and buy ten more dogs with it.”

6 4. “Neither of them can stand the person they’re married to.” “It’s really his wife [Daisy] that’s keeping them apart. She’s a Catholic and they don’t believe in divorce.”

7 5 “ I couldn’t keep my eyes off him [Tom]” Myrtle after first seeing Tom. “I’d never seen a girl so mad about her husband.” “looking at him with unfathomable delight.” “ It was touching to see them together.” A week later Tom has had an affair with “one of the chambermaids”.

8 6 Nick: “I wasn’t actually in love, but I felt a sort of tender curiosity.” “She was incurably dishonest.” “Cool, insolent smile” Nick: “Dishonesty in a woman is a thing you never blame deeply”

10 8 “There are only the pursued, the pursuing the busy and the tired.” Anticipating Daisy’s visit “the rain cooled to a damp mist” “Gatsby looked with vacant eyes” “Nobody’s coming to the tea. It’s too late.”

11 9 “exhilarating ripple of her voice was like a wild tonic in the rain.” “her hand was wet with glistening drops” Nick to Gatsby “You’re aching like a little boy” “it was pouring” “After half an hour the sun shone”

12 10. There was a change….he literally glowed without a word or a gesture of exultation a new well-being radiated from him” “twinkle-bells of sunshine in the room…like an ecstatic patron of recurrent light”
