This week we have made a start on our first set text – ‘The Great Gatsby’ by F Scott Fitzgerald. We read the first chapter and started to consider the main characters – we made CVs for Nick, our narrator, and wrote in perspective from either Daisy/Tom/Jordan’s viewpoint of the scene where Tom is called by his mistress. We also made notes on our observations about the characters and examined the way in which authors build character. This led to a close text analysis of aspects of narrative such as the use of adverbs to portray the principal characters.
