Week at a glance May 13 - 17, 2013

This week we'll wrap up our work over F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby.  Daisy makes her choice in Chapter VII, thereby resolving the primary conflict of the story.  Chapters VIII and IX are all the consequences of her choice and effects that follow.  We will finally come to understand why Nick, in Chapter I, says "When I came back from the East last autumn I felt that I wanted the world to be in uniform and at a sort of moral attention forever; I wanted no more riotous excursions with privileged glimpses into the human heart" (2).  What made Nick so upset?  The end of the novel will explain why.
