]]> Comment on Unreliable Narration in the Great Gatsby by xckyle http://xckyle.edublogs.org/2009/09/07/unreliable-narration-in-the-great-gatsby/comment-page-1/#comment-15 xckyle Sun, 13 Sep 2009 22:42:43 +0000 http://xckyle.edublogs.org/2009/09/07/unreliable-narration-in-the-great-gatsby/#comment-15 It reminds me of TKM and Grab beacuse of the depth he read into some of the situations in the Great GAtsby, such as when Gatsby said he was from the mid west too, and Nick's asked where, Gatsby's repley was San Fransico. Nick's relpy to this was "Oh i see". Well in the articale the author tooks Nicks response of oh I see and made a huge deal about it. Insunating a lot of things but at the same time reading into that moment in diffrent ways. Thats why it reminded me of Grab. And my summer assignment is on my blog. I finished both of them by mid August. But to make it easier for you I just edited them so that they both have "summer assignment" in their titles. They are only a few post back.
